How do you become a Birdland members? Missed fan fest of years past.

@justDcan give you the details.   It's basically sort of a modified version of being a season ticket holder, with perks.   I don't think you are locked in on games quite as much as it used to be when you got a 13 game plan, 29 game plan, etc.   More flexibility in games, and members get all kind of benefits.

But I don't know all the details.   My problem has been finding friends to go to games with.   I wound up going to only about 7 games this year, and 3 of those I went by myself when I couldn't find someone to go with.   But I would like to go to more.   They have some new kind of Flex Birdland Membership.   I'm going to try to look at it and see if it is something I might be interested in.   I can afford it, but I just don't know if I will wind up going to enough games to justify it.

The flex plan looks good to me.  The only downside is you don’t have specific seats.  But, you can choose your games, what kind of seats you want, and how many tickets for a particular game.  So, you have to commit money up front, but it gives you discounts on food and merchandise, avoids various fees (I think), and gives you a leg up on playoff tickets.    So overall, if you’re confident you’ll buy enough tickets to spend your allotment, it’s a pretty good deal.
