Season memberships are available in full, half and quarter packages, and all three include a "Battle of the Birds" ticket. In addition to the games, season members receive numerous other perks, including, but not limited to:
- the chance to purchase additional "Battle of the Birds" tickets
- a St. Louis Cardinals ticket voucher for the 2017 season
- guaranteed gate giveaways
- priority for playoff and special event tickets
- the opportunity to watch a fireworks show and a batting practice from field level
The Redbirds also have two different mini-memberships available, which include five Redbirds games plus the "Battle of the Birds." Both memberships include Opening Day on April 11, as well as multiple Saturday night fireworks games.
Season and mini-membership packages are currently the only ways to obtain "Battle of the Birds" tickets.

2016 In Review A total of 324,581 fans attended Memphis Redbirds games at AutoZone Park during the 2016 season, which is nearly a 17 percent increase over its total of 278,579 for the 2015 campaign. The percent increase for the season was fourth in all of Minor League Baseball, and the per-game change of 667 fans led the minors.
The figures were helped by seven sellouts during the season, including Saturday, Aug. 27, when an AutoZone Park post-renovations record crowd of 11,041 jammed the stadium. The ballpark was renovated in the 2014 offseason to its current configuration. In 2016, the Redbirds went from averaging just over 4,000 fans per game to more than 4,700 per contest.
The Redbirds' final weekend included a celebration of the 10 millionth fan to enter AutoZone Park since it opened in 2000, as well as a visit from President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter as part of the closing ceremony of Habitat for Humanity's Carter Work Project.
