EARLY ACCESS TO MADDEN NFL 13 KICKS OFF 2012-2013 EA SPORTS SEASON TICKET BENEFITS

Bigger, Better Season Ticket Offers Early Access and Includes More Than $100 of Consumer Value

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) outlined today the 2012 – 2013 benefits to the EA SPORTS™ Season Ticket program. The second year of the program is bigger and better with even more value accessible to EA SPORTS consumers with the addition of more than $100 of paid downloadable content (DLC) across the five participating franchises* – Madden NFL, NHL®, FIFA Soccer, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® and NCAA® Football. In addition to the $100 of paid downloadable content included, the program will continue to offer three day early access to all participating titles and 20 percent off any additional paid downloadable content purchased for the participating titles.* A one-year EA SPORTS Season Ticket subscription is available now for $24.99.

EA SPORTS Season Ticket is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 consoles in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and North America.* Subscribers in North America will see the first benefit of the program tomorrow (August 24, 2012), as Madden NFL 13 is made available to them three days before the game’s retail release.* Three day early access to Madden NFL 13 for subscribers outside of North America will be available on August 27, 2012.*

“We’re excited to be expanding EA SPORTS Season Ticket to add more value for our fans,” says Dan Garzia, Senior Director, Digital marketing, EA SPORTS. “With more downloadable content and three-day early access, this is a great new offer for anyone who regularly plays even one EA SPORTS game.”

if you don't have it, go into the ps store and download EA sports central. it's free and then you can go into that and it will tell you if your pass is good or expired

It'll last until around 5 AM Tuesday morning (unless you leave the game on beyond that, I suppose), no matter when you download the game.

Everyone with season ticket gets a courtesy legendary pack. I know im playin my 1st online gm in mut to shake the dust off. Its even cooler because whichever legend you get (hopefully no blank packs like last yr) you can use in CC. Suspenseful at the least

T minus 10 minutes! Who's all waiting watching the countdown in the EA Sports app?
 
# 113 baseball1014 @ 08/24/12 05:51 PM
You guys need to give impressions, especially about CC. Can't wait until Tuesday!

do we download the game from the EA sports app or directly from the PSN Store (Playstation 3)? Or do both sites work?

I know the store does. I'm inside the app to see what happens - my guess is that it'll probably link to the store when the time comes.
