Group Ticket Rainout Policy

In the event that 5 innings of one game are not played, except if the Tigers are in the lead at the end of 4½, one of the following Policies will apply:

1. When the canceled game is rescheduled on an open date or as part of a split day/night double header with a specific start time for the rescheduled game, the original ticket will be valid for entry to the rescheduled game ONLY. (Exception: When the canceled game is rescheduled during the same homestand on an open date or as part of a split day/night doubleheader, the original ticket may be used for admission to the rescheduled game or may be exchanged for any future non Premium game in the next 12 months from the original game date.)
2. When the canceled game is rescheduled onto an existing game, thereby creating a traditional doubleheader where only one of the two games has a specific start time, the ticket for the originally scheduled game is valid for both games. The canceled game ticket is then invalid and subject to applicable exchange policy. If the canceled game is not rescheduled, the original ticket may be exchanged for any future regular season game during the 2013 season at the value stated.

   Ticket exchanges are subject to availability and all service charges or differences in value are non-refundable. Tickets may be redeemed at the Tigers Box Office or by mailing them to: Tigers Box office, 2100 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48201.

3. Complimentary tickets may not be exchanged under any circumstances and are invalid for use at the rescheduled game. For more information, please call (313) 471-BALL (2255). Specific information regarding each canceled game is available by calling (313) 471-BALL (2255) or by visiting tigers.com.

Group Cancellation Guarantee

Worried about your group event at Comerica Park being rained out or rescheduled to another date that you can't attend? Worry no more! For a small fee, you can purchase a "Group Cancellation Guarantee." If your game is not played, you have the option of picking another game in 2013, (subject to availability) or receiving a full refund for the amount of your tickets. (Picnic/Party Suite food not included.) (An official game is considered the completion of 5 innings or if the Tigers are in the lead after 4-1/2 innings.)

Q: What is the cost of this group cancellation guarantee?
A: The cost of this program is 10% of your ticket price (i.e. to purchase the Group Cancellation Guarantee on a $10 ticket would be $1).

Q: What are my options if I choose to purchase the insurance and the game is cancelled? (An official game is considered the completion of 5 innings or if the Tigers are in the lead after 4½ innings.)
A: The group leader has 3 options:
1) Everyone comes to the newly rescheduled game, or;
2) Cancel all of the group tickets and apply the money on the account to a future game, or;
3) Cancel all of the group tickets and receive a full refund for the amount of your tickets. (Picnic/Party Suite food not included.)

Q: I purchased the Group Cancellation Guarantee and my game was canceled. How do I let you know that I want to cancel the group ticket order?
A: The Tigers will contact you within 24 hours of a cancellation to discuss your options. (PLEASE NOTE: In order to purchase the Group Cancellation Guarantee, the group leader must have a valid email address). The Tigers will need the group leader to indicate that he/she wishes to cancel the order and either keep the money on account for a future 2013 game (other than the designated make-up game) or receive a full refund.

Q: If I choose to cancel my group order, what do I do with the original tickets?
A: All the tickets in your account for that game will be cancelled and the bar codes will be invalidated. We ask that you inform all members of your group that these tickets will not be accepted at the box office for the newly rescheduled game. Although, you do not need to mail the tickets to the box office, we ask as a courtesy that you send as many tickets back from the original game as possible. This will help minimize the risk of anyone showing up to the rescheduled game with a cancelled ticket.

Q: Can I cancel part of my group order and allow part of my group to go to the newly rescheduled game?
A: Unfortunately not. We are not able to cancel portions of a group ticket order. If you have members in your group that wish to go to the rescheduled game, have them contact your Account Executive or call (313) 471-BALL. The group sales department will assist your guest(s) in getting tickets to the rescheduled game.

Q: How long will it take to get my refund?
A: Credit cards are usually refunded within 2-3 business days. Refund checks are mailed to the name and address on the account within 3-4 weeks.

Q: How much time do I have to decide whether or not I want to cancel the group ticket order?
A: If the newly rescheduled game is within 2 weeks from the original game, the group leader has 48 hours to decide a course of action. If the newly rescheduled game is more than 2 weeks after the originally scheduled game, the group leader has 7 days to decide.

Q: My name is not on the account, but I am in charge of putting the event together. Since someone else purchased the Group Cancellation Guarantee can I cancel the order?
A: Only the name(s) of the person(s) on the account is authorized to cancel the purchase of the tickets.

Q: Does the Group Cancellation Guarantee cover the cost of my party suite food?
A: The Group Cancellation Guarantee is only valid for the party suite ticket. Party Suite food is not covered under the Group Cancellation Guarantee. (Please note: If the gates open, food will be served for the picnic areas and party suites rain or shine.)

Q: Do I have to buy this Group Cancelation guarantee at the time of ordering?
A: The Group Cancelation Guarantee must be purchased no later than 10 days before the scheduled game date.
