I sort of want to go to a game, but kind of enjoyed the extra time and money created by not making the trips last year.

I won’t get season tickets, but maybe I’ll stub hub a home game.

As generations age, how will game day experiences be modified to continue attracting 87,512 to home games?

Never stub hub.

You can get a better deal outside the stadium easily

Have they published renewal numbers?

COVID-19 disrupted life. People adjusted.
Doing stuff seems more fun than watching stuff.

Will people still value live sports as much as they did pre-COVID-19?

I have continued enjoying going to a random game here or there but I gave up my season tickets about ten years ago and don’t miss the headache of getting up and going to games I didn’t care much for and getting home at stupid hours on a 7 pm kickoff.

I’ll be going to games. Haven’t stopped life. No vaccines or masks for me.

Me neither, but going to games was not an option last year as it was very restricted and I’m not a big donor.

I played more golf than ever before and did a lot of outdoor hikes and such.

When I had season tickets, I chose to go to games. Now I sort of prefer golf or doing something to investing time into going to and watching a game.

Maybe Coach Harsin will put a team on the field that makes me choose watching it over playing golf. I hope so.

I bought season tickets this year again after more than a decade of not having them.

(I had them for about 20 plus years before).

I am giving Coach H. a chance to earn my (in person) support. He deserves that. If we have a competitive team that plays hard, gets better, and I can’t predict 85% of the plays we run just based on the formation - I will be happy.

This and always this. I have purchased my son a ticket outside the gate for over 15 years. I have never, EVER, taken him to a game where I could not easily find him a ticket out there. And for cheap

We let our tickets go last year and didnt pick them back up this year. It ended up being a great move. If I get back up there way in the future, I will just get tickets outside the gate.

Same here. I’ve never been a season ticket holder. I’ll just buy tickets for one or two games. I’ll go to more games this year since so much was taken away last year.

But I’m content getting a round of golf in or doing some yard work before the game and watching the game on tv with friends and family.

I'm gonna ask a really dumb question...

With tickets moving to an all electronic format, and not having physical printed tickets, will that increase, decrease, or have no impact on the ticket resales outside the stadium?

Does that get rid of the scalpers who hang around Toomer's on game day, or do they adjust and buy/sell digitally?

I know folks who have lost a bunch of money buying counterfeit electronic tickets at different sporting events. I think it only increases the headaches for those without season tickets.

First barcode scanned, wins.

I think it will just require all ticket sellers and scalpers to make an account on the site to transfer tickets

Same here. It started getting really old with the increase in price every year, and no discernable improvement to the stadium. Paying the Tigers Unlimited fee plus the cost of tickets, and still having to pay extra for a removable bleacher cushion. Unless you can donate enough to get a skybox, it became very clear that the administration didn't really care what the average fan experience was.

Absolutely hate that they will be electric. I loved collecting ticket stubs growing up and have over 500 stubs from sporting and music events growing up. Really hate that most places are all electronic (even before covid)
