The Club Ace presented by Bell’s Brewing has been upgraded and re-envisioned, especially for this season. Now they are not only offering the audience the experience of an open-air venue but also shaded venue options. Apart from giving ground access, this ticket also ensures the audience has access to the 15th and 16th holes.
According to their official site, “New for 2024, Club Ace presented by Bell’s Brewing will be more intimate and include complimentary beer, wine, and seltzers, as well as an upgraded food menu and a full bar that will be available for purchase.” The price for daily tickets is $256 each and needs to be purchased separately for each day.
The LendingTree Lounge, on the other hand, is a shared hospitality venue with both tented and outdoor options. It is priced at $126 on June 27th and June 30th, while for the second and third rounds, the tickets are available at $131. It is specially curated, keeping in mind a premium experience. In addition to private restrooms, the consumers of this ticket will get ground access included. The lounge will offer exquisite views of the 16th fairway, 16th green, 17th tee, and 13th green.
However, if you want to have the experience on a budget, the event also has Daily Grounds tickets in-store. Starting just at $81 for the first round and $96 for the rest until Sunday, you can enjoy the ground access with plenty of front-row seating options. All three kinds of tickets are available at the moment but there are a few other things you should know for a smoother experience.

What should you keep in mind before you proceed?
The tickets for their premium services are certainly a steal. But for the ground access, the price has already been hiked. Per the tournament’s website, “Grounds tickets for this year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic will increase by $10 starting Monday, June 17.” Another thing to consider before buying a ticket is that it is going to be non-refundable. And before all the tickets are sold out and resale values increase exponentially, you must make a choice.
Moreover, Rocket Mortgage Classic is quite strict with their mobile entry policy, where the tickets are to be shown from the mobile phone’s barcode alone. They have stated, “All tickets to the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic will be mobile entry only. Present your mobile ticket barcode at the tournament entrance and/or applicable venue for admission.”

Additionally, if you are with a vehicle, you must pre-plan your parking. The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic requires you to have parking passes that can be purchased in advance and for each day separately. From June 27th to 30th, parking is allotted at Wayne State University—General Parking, presented by Cure Auto Insurance. While the first and last round’s parking tickets cost $26, June 28th–29th parking passes can be purchased for $31 each.
