The Detroit Lions: Ticket Sales So Hot, They're Practically Wearing Honolulu Blue Flames
The Motor City's going wild! That's right, folks, the Detroit Lions have done it again. Season tickets for the 2024 season have vanished faster than Simba disappearing into the jungle (too soon? Too many millennials reading this?).
But seriously, how many tickets are we talking about? Well, buckle up, because this is where things get a little fuzzy. The official numbers are a closely guarded secret, but let's just say it's enough to fill Ford Field to the brim with enough roar to wake Sleeping Matthew Stafford (sorry, still a little raw about that trade).
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Is this a first for the Lions? Nope! 2023 was the first time the team ever sold out season tickets, and they're riding that wave of fan fervor all the way to the bank (figuratively, of course, because let's be honest, Honolulu Blue and silver don't exactly scream "fiscal responsibility").
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
So, what does this mean for you, the die-hard Lions fan who missed out? Fear not, fellow Honolulu Blue brethren! There's still hope. Here's the down-low on scoring those coveted tickets:
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
- Join the Waitlist: It's basically like waiting in line for the best roller coaster at the amusement park. There might be a wait, but the payoff will be epic (and hopefully include fewer barf bags). Just be prepared to shell out a non-refundable $100 deposit per ticket (ouch, but hey, supporting the team comes at a price, right?).
- Snag Single-Game Tickets: These are like the consolation prize at a claw machine – you might not get the giant stuffed lion, but you still get to play the game (and hopefully see the Lions win one, amirite?). Keep your eyes peeled for the schedule release, because these bad boys are gonna disappear faster than Calvin Johnson on a deep route.
- Become a Superfan (Not Recommended): Okay, this one's a joke (mostly). While befriending Barry Sanders or Matthew Stafford might get you some serious ticket hookups, it's probably not the most realistic option. But hey, if you manage to pull it off, more power to you – just make sure to invite us along for the ride!

How To FAQ:
- How to join the waitlist for Lions season tickets? Head over to the Detroit Lions website or call their ticketing team at 313-262-2222. But be prepared to wait – with 20,000 people already in line, it might be a while before you get your turn at the Honolulu Blue buffet.
- How much are single-game tickets for the Lions? Prices vary depending on the game and seat location, but expect to pay a premium for those prime spots. Let's just say, they won't be cheaper than a bag of Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid (but hopefully more satisfying).
- How to become best friends with Barry Sanders? This one's a mystery even the Honolulu Blue oracles can't solve. Your best bet is probably to master the art of the spiral pass and hope he notices you at a local park. Good luck!
- How to convince Matthew Stafford to come back to the Lions? This might be even harder than befriending Barry. Maybe offer him a lifetime supply of pizza? It worked for LeBron James in Cleveland, right? (Just kidding Cleveland fans, we love you… maybe).
- How to deal with the heartbreak of missing out on Lions tickets? Distract yourself with some delicious Coney Island hot dogs, a good helping of Vernors ginger ale, and maybe a rewatch of Super Bowl runs from… well, let's not dwell on the past.
