How many tickets should we purchase?
To participate in this program, tickets are required for each participant and at least one parent/legal guardian.
- Per the NFL League Policy, each guest is required to have a ticket to be in the stadium and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
- Tickets should be purchased through our registration process as an authorized seller, to ensure your family is sitting together, and to follow the league policy.
- There is no limit to the amount of tickets you can purchase. However, tickets are limited.
- Do not wait until the last minute to register.
Can I purchase tickets near other groups participating in the program?
- Yes, but we cannot guarantee that all program participants will be sitting together based on seating availability.
- If you would like your family to come and sit together, please purchase together during registration.
- Ticket orders placed after registration may not be sat with the original group depending on availability.

When does registration close?

How will I get my tickets?
Once the clinic registration closes (October 6th), the actual ticket seats will be allocated and available in your Lions App account.
Confirmation emails will be sent from the ticket department with ticket access instructions once the registration concludes.
What if I am a Season Ticket Member and already have tickets?
Lions Loyal Members will need to provide their Account # on the registration to confirm tickets for the participant and one parent/guardian.
For those who are NOT Season Ticket Members, you will need to purchase tickets through our registration process to confirm that you have a ticket for each participant and at least one parent/guardian. Minors must be accompanied by an adult during the game per the NFL League Policy.
Where is the best place to watch the performance? Which direction are they facing?
This is a large-scale performance (very different from a recital-based event) and there will be hundreds of performers on the field.
- There are no guarantees that participants will be seen up close.
- The performance starts out facing the South/Lions bench, but with any large-scale performance that includes hundreds of participants, there will be formation changes and direction changes.
- Parents are encouraged to watch the performance on game day and enjoy the entire production and experience.
- Parents are not permitted on the field at any time.
- At the end of the clinic day, we will have a run-through for the parents to view up close.
How do I get my participant after they are done at the clinic?
There will be a strict sign-in and sign-out process at both the clinic and the game.
We will cover all the details about where and when to meet your child in a document that will be emailed and distributed at the clinic.
Will there be a video of the performance available for sale?
A FREE video of the halftime performance will be emailed 6 to 8 weeks after the performance.
There are no guarantees that every child will be highlighted in the footage based on the number of participants.
We will NOT be selling videos of the performance. Parents are welcome to video from their phones during the show.
Will there be a photographer? Will the girls get to have solo pictures with the professional cheerleaders?
We will take and organize informal photos with DLC at the END of the clinic.
- Parents will be able to take photos during the clinic from the stands.
- Detailed instructions will be communicated on the clinic day.
- A FREE large group photo will be emailed 6 to 8 weeks after the performance.
My child and I are Canadian citizens and do not having an American working permit. Can they participate?
Yes, citizens from Canada are welcome to participate as this is a non-employment, one-time activity.
What should I bring with me to registration if my child has duo citizenship?
A COPY of a birth certificate or passport will do. We do not need originals.
Are we subject to the game day bag policy?
I understand that camera lenses over 5 inches are not allowed on game day. Will they be permitted during the clinic?
- Cameras are allowed on CLINIC days, but most not allowed on game days. See policy.
Will we have to go back outside to get to our seats on game day? NO.
No, you cannot leave the building for any reason once you enter the building with your tickets. Do NOT leave. Your tickets will be voided if you leave the building.
If our child needs to use the bathroom at clinic or game day who will take them?
We will have ample staff and bathroom breaks throughout the clinic.
On GAME DAY, we recommend children use the restroom prior to meeting time. Once we head for staging, timing will be limited.
Is the attire the same as last year?
No.
- Attire will change from year to year due to branding, growth of children/changes in sizing, unknown wear and tear, style of attire, performance themes, etc.
- Official branded uniform dress or top will be provided to each participant.
- Participants will be asked to wear their own black shorts underneath the uniform dress, or their own black pants with the top.
Will there be a break during the clinic?
Yes, we will have several short breaks.
- For dietary reasons, we will not be providing food during the clinic.
- Participants can bring snacks with them for the clinic to eat during short breaks.
- Participants are encouraged to bring water jugs. We will have water on the field as well.
- Participants are encouraged to eat prior to the clinic.
Can my junior cheerleader dance with their friends in the same group?
Dancers will be broken into smaller groups by age ranges (7 to 9 or 10 to 13) and we allow junior cheerleaders to submit the name of ONE buddy/friend to be with for the clinic so long as they are in the same age grouping.
- We cannot pair your child with a requested buddy if that buddy is in the opposite age grouping.
- The clinic goes by very fast and a lot of time will be spent in their performance formations. They will have a blast surrounded by all the clinic participants and DLC!
