Detroit Lions sell out season tickets for second straight year

Allen Park — For the second consecutive year, the Detroit Lions have announced they’ve sold all of their season-ticket packages for home games at Ford Field.

“Our Lions Loyal Members are the heartbeat of our fanbase and the true foundation of our incredible home-field advantage,” Detroit Lions COO Mike Disner said in a statement. “We are proud to have reached a sellout of memberships and want to encourage interested fans to join the waitlist for the best opportunity to attend our games at Ford Field in 2025 and beyond.”

To join the waitlist, the team requires a non-refundable $100 deposit per ticket that will be applied to the eventual purchase of a package.

The Lions also sold out season tickets last year, for the first time in Ford Field’s history, while averaging 64,850 attendees for their home slate. Those fans were rewarded with the franchise’s first division title and home playoff games in three decades.

With the success came hefty price hikes, with some season-ticket packages at the front of sections more than doubling. Despite those rising prices, this year’s sellout shows the team properly gauged burgeoning demand.

The Lions did hold back a limited inventory of single-game tickets, which are scheduled to be made available through the team website and Ticketmaster on Wednesday evening, after the NFL releases its full schedule.
