Why Buy a Season Ticket?
If you regularly attend the same team or venue events, a season ticket almost always offers better value than buying individual tickets. But the benefits go beyond just saving money.
Benefits
- Cost savings — season tickets are typically 20-30% cheaper than buying individually
- Guaranteed entry — never miss out on sold-out fixtures
- One purchase — buy once at the start of the season, no weekly hassle
- Convenience — a single QR code that works for every fixture
- Community — season ticket holders form the core of any fanbase
- Renewal priority — renew your pass before general sale
Is It Worth It?
Do the maths: if you would attend more than 70% of fixtures, a season ticket is almost certainly worth it. Even if you miss a few, the convenience and guaranteed access usually make up the difference. Check if your team offers season passes on Tickts.
What Is a Season Ticket?
A season ticket — sometimes called a season pass — gives you access to all fixtures or events within a defined season. Instead of buying individual tickets for each match or show, you pay once and gain entry to every event. This is most common in sports, where a football club might offer a season pass covering all home league matches.
Financial Benefits
Season tickets almost always offer significant savings over buying individual tickets:
- Discounted rate: Most organisers price season tickets at 60% to 80% of the total individual ticket cost. For a club with 15 home matches at £8 each (£120 total), a season pass might be £80 to £95 — saving you £25 to £40.
- Payment plans: On Tickts, season passes can be split into monthly instalments. Instead of paying £90 upfront, you might pay £30 per month for three months, making it more affordable.
- No per-match transaction fees: You pay processing fees once on the season pass purchase rather than 15 separate times for individual match tickets.
Convenience Benefits
- Guaranteed entry: Season pass holders do not need to worry about individual matches selling out. Your place is secured for every fixture.
- Skip the queue: No need to buy tickets before each match. Just turn up, scan your season pass QR code, and walk in.
- Digital wallet: Add your season pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet once, and it is ready for every match. One tap on your phone at the gate.
- Automatic updates: If a fixture date or time changes, your season pass remains valid. No need to request new tickets.
Supporting Your Club
For grassroots sports clubs, season ticket sales provide crucial financial stability. Revenue received at the start of the season helps clubs budget for the year ahead — paying for pitch maintenance, equipment, coaching staff, and facility improvements. By buying a season ticket, you are investing in your club long-term future.
Season pass holders also tend to be the most engaged fans. They attend more consistently, bring friends and family, and contribute to the atmosphere that makes live sport special.
How Season Passes Work on Tickts
On Tickts, season passes are linked to your account and generate a unique QR code. At each fixture, door staff scan your pass using the Tickts scanner. The system records your attendance for that specific fixture and marks it as attended — preventing anyone from using your pass at the same event twice. The pass remains valid for all remaining fixtures in the season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer my season ticket to someone else?
This depends on the organiser policy. Some clubs allow season pass transfers for individual fixtures, while others restrict passes to the named holder. Check with your club organiser for their specific policy.
What happens if I miss a match?
Season tickets are all-inclusive — there is no refund for individual missed matches. However, the overall saving means you come out ahead even if you miss a few fixtures during the season.
Can I buy a season ticket mid-season?
Some organisers offer mid-season or half-season passes at a reduced rate. Check the organiser event page on Tickts for available options.
