Definition
A season pass (or season ticket) gives the holder entry to all fixtures in a season. Instead of buying individual tickets for each match, the fan pays once and attends every game. Season passes are the backbone of supporter loyalty for sports clubs.
How They Differ from Single Tickets
- Single ticket — valid for one specific event/date, one scan, then done
- Season pass — valid for the entire season, one scan per fixture, reusable throughout
Benefits
For clubs: guaranteed upfront revenue, higher attendance, stronger fan loyalty.
For fans: cheaper per-match cost, guaranteed entry to popular fixtures, convenience.
On Tickts
Season passes have their own QR code that stays valid all season. The scanning system automatically detects which fixture is being played and records attendance. One scan per fixture is enforced — no duplicate entry.
Season Passes Explained
A season pass is a single ticket that grants the holder entry to all events within a defined season or series. Most commonly used in sport — where a football season pass covers all home league matches — season passes are also used for theatre seasons, concert series, and recurring event programmes.
How Season Passes Differ From Individual Tickets
- One purchase, many events: Instead of buying tickets for each match or show individually, you pay once and gain access to everything in the season.
- Reusable QR code: Your season pass QR code is scanned at each event. The system records attendance per fixture while keeping the pass valid for future events.
- Discounted pricing: Season passes are almost always cheaper than buying all individual tickets separately, rewarding committed fans with meaningful savings.
- Guaranteed entry: Season pass holders do not need to worry about individual events selling out. Their place is reserved for every fixture.

Who Benefits From Season Passes?

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a fixture is cancelled?
Your season pass remains valid for the rescheduled date. Season passes cover the fixture regardless of when it takes place during the season.
Can I get a partial refund if I stop attending mid-season?
Season pass refund policies are set by the organiser. Most clubs treat season passes as non-refundable once the season has started, as the pass price is calculated on the assumption of full-season attendance.
Do all sports clubs offer season passes?
Not all, but most clubs with regular home fixtures offer some form of season ticket. On Tickts, creating a season pass is simple and free, so there is no reason not to offer one.
