Pit Spitters bring back 7 Days of Deals for 2026 tickets

A $50 discount on Saturday suite rentals is the headline savings in the Pit Spitters’ return of 7 Days of Deals, and the most important calendar date for families is Wednesday, April 15, when individual 2026 tickets go on sale. The seven-day promotion began April 8, giving fans a short window to lock in suite space, themed packages and specialty nights before summer schedules tighten.

The opening offer is aimed at groups that want a private night at Turtle Creek Stadium in Chums Corner, with suite perks that typically include bottomless popcorn and a dedicated space for families or coworkers. Later deals in the campaign include a Father’s Day BBQ ticket package priced at $45, which pairs a game ticket for Sunday, June 21, with a 90-minute all-you-can-eat buffet and a giveaway item for Dad, including aviator sunglasses.

The Pit Spitters’ ticket calendar has become one of the clearest signs of how the team markets summer in Traverse City. Its single-game schedule already includes special-event dates such as Spit On Cancer presented by Munson Healthcare, with specialty jerseys and fundraising that benefits the Munson Healthcare Foundation. That kind of built-in programming gives the club another reason to push early sales: the best family nights and sponsor tie-ins can sell quickly once individual tickets hit the market.

The timing matters because the 2026 season is already on the clock. The schedule was unveiled December 16, 2025, the team opens on the road against the Kalamazoo Growlers on May 25, and the home opener follows two days later, Wednesday, May 27, at 7:05 p.m. against the Rockford Rivets at Turtle Creek Stadium. For local families planning around school calendars, spring sports and the first rush of summer visitors, April 15 is the cleanest chance to choose seats before the most popular dates fill up.

The team’s emphasis on early sales also fits its recent growth under general manager Jacqueline Holm, who joined in October 2022 and was named Northwoods League Executive of the Year in 2023. Under her leadership, the club said it set franchise records in overall attendance and nightly average attendance and hosted the highest-attended Great Lakes All-Star Game in Northwoods League history in July 2023. In a summer market built around tourism, concessions and community nights, those first tickets help shape the season before the first pitch is thrown. The team’s ticketing pages also note that game dates and times are subject to change and that rain checks are exchanged at the box office under club policy.
