The Season Pass Card replaces the need for fans to bring different tickets to each game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Friday that they are introducing a new Buccaneers Season Pass Card for 2009 general season ticket holders. Each Season Pass Card will allow entry to the Stadium and access to their designated seat for all nine Buccaneers home games during the 2009 preseason and regular season. This convenient new card will replace having to possess nine separate tickets by having one pass for the entire season.

"We are very excited about our new season pass card," said Buccaneers Senior Director of Sales and Finance Jason Layton. "Our fans no longer have to worry about whether they brought the right ticket to the right game - they just need one card for the entire season. In addition, the card will allow us to offer instant discounts and promotions at the stadium or through our Pewter Partners."

Information for the 2009 Season Pass Card:

You will have one Season Pass Card for each seat that you own.

Each Season Pass Card should be stored in a safe place and re-used for each home game during the 2009 season.

If you prefer paper tickets, you can print any of your tickets yourself by logging on to Buccaneers Account Manager and forwarding the tickets to your personal e-mail. You will then receive an e-mail with your tickets attached that you can then print at any time.

If you can't make a game or want to give your tickets to a friend for a game, there is no need to give or mail your Season Pass Card to anyone. Instead, you can forward your tickets to friends, family or colleagues via e-mail. Just log on to Buccaneers Account Manager, and select the game for which you wish to forward your tickets. The Season Pass Cards will be deactivated for any games in which a ticket has been forwarded.
