There will not be an early release to partial season ticket holders. "The Tigers are pleased to offer you an exclusive presale of 2008 single game tickets prior to the general public onsale this Thursday, February 28. This unique opportunity has been created to provide our loyal Full Season Ticket Holders the option to secure the best seats for the best games at Comerica Park in 2008. Season Ticket Holders should login using the password provided in the email they received." The password in my email was my account #. (i.e. 216xxx) Might be worth a try to use your account # if you are a partial and see if you can get logged in. Else, get in touch with someone you know is a FS ticket holder. re: early release of single games to full season ticket holders

The keywords here are “FULL SEASON”. There will not be an early release to partial season ticket holders.

I tried. I'm glad I bought my package in 2006 when everyone laughed at me! And I must admit that sometimes I yearn for the bad old days. No expectations = no stress and saving $$.

I better get my ducks in a row and make sure I am ready and waiting. The last summer I made it to Comerica Park I got to see three horrendous losses by the Tigers (and I only went to 3 games). I will probably only be able to make it to one game with a group of family so here's to hoping I'll finally see a Tigers win at Comerica Park.

That's what I wondered if renewal people just hadn't renewed yet and that amount could be what filled the rest of the seats. I already have my seats but for those that don't, good luck on the market now that this has come out. Okay thanks.

It's probably on line now. The reason they suspended sales of full season tickets for a while was to make sure that there would be enough postseason tickets available for full season ticket holders. As for opening day, new 27 and 41 game ticket holders don't even get Opening Day because there aren't enough tickets available, so it stands to reason that general public wouldn't get them as well. Between full season ticket holders, and renewing mini-season there just aren't physically any more seats. Jonathon-

This seems kinda weird. Last I heard they were cutting off sales of season tickets so that some single games would still be available, including opening day but now they won't be selling tickets for opening day? How could they all be gone now before single games seats go on sale? Bilfer do you have a link of this announcement? This seems kinda weird.

Luckily games are always much more fun with a full house.
