Skip the Line in 2015, New Mobile Ticketing at Regions Field

April 1, 2015 - Southern League (SL1)
Birmingham Barons News Release


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Barons fans can now skip the ticket line at Regions Field by purchasing tickets online and using their mobile device to enter the gates quickly and paperless. Much like airline and concert venue ticketing, the Barons are streamlining the admission process.

"This is an extremely convenient and easy system to use," Director of Ticketing David Madison said. "With mobile ticketing, fans can completely cut out waiting in line to purchase at the window or pick up tickets at will call and proceed directly to the gates. TicketReturn is drastically changing the ticket-buying experience for the best in 2015."

Now powered by TicketReturn, all tickets purchased online can be accessed from anywhere using an electronic device with internet access. To purchase tickets, visit Barons.com and select your section/quantity. Upon proceeding to check-out, purchasers will be prompted to create a TicketReturn account (it is important to make your username and password so that it is easily remembered). Once the account is created and either the "Print-At-Home" or "Mobile Display" is selected as the delivery option, the tickets are saved to the account. On game day, simply go to TicketReturn.com on your device, login to your account, select "View Mobile Tickets" and walk up to the gates to have your phone scanned.

No more waiting in line at the box office or will call windows. While the Print-At-Home option is still available, printed tickets can often be accidentally left or forgotten at home. With TicketReturn.com, this is no longer a problem. Even if the tickets have already been printed, fans can still access their tickets digitally through their mobile device to enter the stadium (once the digital ticket is scanned, the paper ticket becomes inactive).

"We are always evaluating and looking for new ways to make our fan experience the best," General Manager Jonathan Nelson said. "With this new system, we hope to cut down on lines outside the park and get people to their seats faster and effortlessly."

Birmingham opens the 2015 season Thursday, April 9 as Regions Field hosts the Mobile BayBears at 7:05 p.m. To order tickets, visit Barons.com or call (205) 988-3200. For more information, visit us at www.barons.com, www.facebook.com/birminghambarons or on Twitter: @bhambarons.
