What is a season ticket sharing agreement?
Sharing season tickets makes a full season affordable and gives everyone a few big games. It also creates a lot of small questions: who pays the club and when, how the games are picked, what happens to a ticket someone can't use, who gets playoff seats, whether tickets can be sold at a profit, and who keeps the account when someone drops out. Groups that agree these things up front tend to stay together for years.
This template records the account holder and every sharer with their share, the team or venue, the season and the seats, any parking pass, the total cost and how it is split, the payment deadline, how games are allocated (a draft, a fixed list or taking turns), what happens to unused tickets, playoff and cup tickets, the resale price rule, refunds for cancelled games, and renewal and leaving. It also makes clear that the account stays in the holder's name and that the team's or venue's own ticket terms come first.

Using the season ticket sharing agreement, step by step
1 Describe the tickets and the group
Your name is filled in as the account holder. List every sharer and their share, then the team or venue, the season, the seats and any parking pass.
2 Set the cost
Enter the total cost including fees, how it's split (in proportion to shares by default) and the date sharers pay you. A sharer who hasn't paid doesn't receive tickets until they do.
3 Agree how games are picked
Choose a draft, a fixed list or taking turns and add the details, such as the draft date and how rivalry games are handled. Then choose the rules for unused tickets, playoffs and resale.
4 Sign with each sharer
Tick "This is me" as the holder and add a sharer, or add every sharer as a signer in the editor so one copy covers the whole group. Sharers sign from their email without a FileIt account.
Tips before you send it
- Check your club's or venue's terms before you start. Some limit resale, transfers or account changes.
- Hold the draft before the fixtures are released or right after, and record the picks in a shared sheet.
- Use the venue's official transfer feature so every ticket can be traced to the holder's account.
- Agree the playoff rule before the season. It's the most common source of arguments.
- Collect renewal answers well before the club's deadline, so the holder isn't left paying for everyone.

Season ticket sharing agreement: frequently asked questions
Who owns the season tickets?
The account holder, whose name is on the account with the team or venue. The agreement says the account stays theirs and that the club's ticket terms apply first.
How does a season ticket draft work?
Sharers take turns picking games, one pick per share in each round. In a snake draft, the order reverses every round, so whoever picks last in one round picks first in the next.
Can we sell tickets we can't use?
You choose a rule: not above face value, at any price with the seller keeping the money, or with any profit shared. Some clubs and some places restrict resale, so check those rules too.
What if someone wants to leave the group?
They tell the holder before the renewal deadline you set. They can suggest a replacement, but the group decides who takes the share.
