All events must first be set up with Tickets. You then have the option to additionally sell Season Passes and/or Season Tickets tied to the athletic events.

Benefits of Offering Season Passes and Season 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.
