Curious what gameday will be like? For starters, tickets are 100% mobile this year. The NFL has partnered with state and local officials alongside the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to develop new protocols to help maximize safety. You can show up to Raymond James Stadium confident that you’ll enjoy a seamless experience, from the parking lot and turnstiles to concourses and ultimately, your seats.
The 19 NFL teams that welcomed over 800,000 Ticketmaster fans back this season all followed strict CDC guidelines to ensure safe outdoor experiences, including requiring masks, installing hand sanitizing stations, regularly testing staff, and utilizing mobile ticketing for contactless entry. Thank you to all the teams and venue staff who worked tirelessly to make this happen. Our love for this sport was only made stronger thanks to your help.
