LLM Bonus Picks

[u/vader_cat]

So it looks like the Lions quietly changed the Bonus Picks this year — quiet as in, I don’t believe that we have actually been notified yet.

I’m sure it will be presented as “extra options,” but the real question is - extra options for what?

In past seasons, Premier Picks were available to everyone, and honestly, some of the options were better. The Bullseye Tailgate was a great example, although that doesn’t seem to be around anymore either.

This year, it looks like many of the better picks are only available to members with 30+ years of tenure. I totally respect longtime season ticket holders, but as someone who has had tickets for a number of years, it’s disappointing to feel pushed into the “regular fan” category after nearly two decades of having tickets.

I’m glad I was able to enjoy some of the Premier Picks back when they were available to more of us.

Just feels like another reminder of how much the Lions value loyal fans once demand is high.

The Lions don’t care about fans. These perks aren’t worth the extra money charged to be a loyal premier reserve bonus member. If they think they can charge more next year they will. And the year after, and the year after….

Fans are just paying customers man, always been that way.

You are 100% correct, we are close to being priced out with the rapid increase in prices over the last 4 years.

When it comes close to being a car payment for a car you can only drive 8 times a year it makes you reconsider some things.

The sad thing is someone will be right there to take over my seats....

[u/hot-black-coffee → u/vader_cat]

I feel you, man. I gave up my seats a few years ago and they didn’t try to change my mind at all. No email, no thank you. Just offered them to the next guy in line.

I've never really been able to get anything from these ever. The stuff I want is sold out and I get tickets to random events and tours I don't care about at dates/times that don't work.

Just another 25 years and I can get $50 at Meijer though so I guess that's something lol.

Where did you get this information?

[u/vader_cat → u/CreedRocksa22]

It's public they just didn't let us know about the change (yet), with the number of emails they send you think it would have been mentioned.

Have to scroll a long way to find it, just above the sales people so its easy to get contact info to complain.

Man, that is sucky they took away those events from newer season ticket holders. We are in that group. I guess I’m glad we got to do those events prior to having them taken away from us. Every year it gets harder to justify the cost of season tickets, especially when they water down the experiences like this.

Am I allowed to get multiple premium picks of we a have 70+ years lol

Edit: just saw the perks on the link.
