Benefits of Offering Season Passes and Tickets:
Guaranteed Revenue: Pre-sold passes and tickets ensure revenue before the season starts.
Enhanced Fan Loyalty: By offering reserved seating, cost effective tickets and passes, and early renewals, schools and athletic departments can build stronger relationships with their fanbase.
Streamlined Entry: Digital passes and tickets reduce the hassle of game-day entry, allowing fans to access events with ease.
Which one is right for you to offer your fans?
Choosing between a season pass and season tickets depends on your priorities. If you enjoy the flexibility of attending various sports that fits your schedule, a season pass—especially a multi-sport or flex pass—might be the best option. On the other hand, if securing a specific seat for every game is your top priority or providing the experience of having individual tickets per event, then season tickets with reserved seating are the way to go.
