ALABASTER – Football season is just around the corner, and with that comes the excitement of seeing the 2019 edition of the Thompson Warriors take to the field under the lights of Warrior Stadium.

With the team on an impressive run over the last two years, including two trips to at least the semifinals of the playoffs and one trip to the state championship game, seeing the team play has become a normality in Alabaster on Friday nights.

That has led to big crowds at the new Warrior Stadium, but the opportunity to get season tickets takes some relief out of trying to find the best seats at the last minute.

Thompson will once again offer priority seating in the stadium during the 2019 season, tickets for which are now available to those who ordered season tickets for the 2018 season.

If you were a season-ticket holder a season ago, you will have the chance to renew your tickets before anyone else has the opportunity to buy available seats.

The waitlist, however, is available to those who didn’t take advantage of the tickets last year.

Each ticket buyer will have the choice of three packages, including the Tomahawk Society, Warriors Unlimited and Warrior pride.

In the Tomahawk Society package, you will be a part of the highest priority level for the price of $375 for Thompson’s six home games this year.

The Warriors will host Davidson, Foley, Hoover, Tuscaloosa County, Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook during the upcoming season.

With that package, you’ll not only get tickets to each game, but you’ll also have the opportunity to purchase two premium chair back seats. You will also receive the annual football program and a reserved parking spot.

In the Warriors Unlimited priority level, you’ll receive tickets, two reserved section bleacher seats and a reserved parking spot for the price of $250.

And for $175, you can purchase access to the Warrior Pride priority level, which gives you one reserved bleacher seat and a reserved parking spot.

To sign up for the waiting list or to renew tickets from last year, you can visit Thompsonwarriors.org.

With any of the packages, you’ll get the opportunity to skip the ticket lines and be guaranteed a good seat and parking spot to every home game, as the Warriors will play just three games away from Warrior Stadium this season.
