Season Tickets: What Are They and How To Create

Discover how to create a season ticket event sale, where fans purchase a ticket package that includes admission to multiple events, how to place holds on seats and the renewal process.

Season Tickets allow fans to purchase one ticket package that includes admission to multiple events.

Before You Begin

  • All individual events included in the package must be created before building the Season Ticket event.

How Season Tickets Work

  • The Season Ticket event is connected to the seat maps of each included event.

  • When a fan purchases a season ticket seat, that same seat is automatically reserved and unavailable for purchase in all associated single-game events.

Fees

  • Hometown's service fee of $3 per ticket plus credit card processing fees is charged separately from the ticket price.

  • You can choose to pass these fees on to the buyer or absorb them into your pricing.

How to Setup a Season Ticket Event:

  1. To create Season Tickets, select +New Season Ticket from the Events dropdown tab. Reminder: All events must be in the Box Office prior to this step.

  2. Select the School, Venue, Department and Seating

  3. Click Load Events to search for events to include in your Season Ticket Event. Only events where these fields match can be included in a Season Ticket Event.

  4. Select the events to include in the Season Ticket Event. Once selected, click Next on the progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

  5. Begin entering the details for the event as if building a standard event.

  6. The Display Start and End Times are the time period the Season Ticket event will be visible for fans. This should mirror your football season dates, ex. Aug 28-Nov 8.

  7. Build the ticket level for the season event by selecting the corresponding ticket level on each of the underlying events.

    1. Note: All ticket levels on the underlying events offered on the season event must be created before building the season event (ex. Adult, Student, Senior).

  8. The Net Price will be the total price for the season tickets.

  9. Set the date for sales to start and end. The sales end date should be no later than the first game day of the season.

  10. Once finished adding ticket levels, click the green Next button on the progress bar along the bottom of the screen.

  11. After reviewing the season ticket details, click Create
