The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kane’s Furniture have Teamed Up to offer a great promotion to Central Florida residents!
During the 2024 NFL football season, when the Buccaneers record 10 first downs or more in a home game, fans can register to receive a free single-day ticket to Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay.
UPDATE Sunday, December 8, 2024 – The Bucs scored 10+ First Downs in the game today and this promotion is currently active! Sign up ASAP and visit a store within 3 days of the game.
Here are the steps to get your free Busch Gardens Ticket:
1. You must be 18+ to register {see below for other Busch Gardens ticket deals}
2. Register at https://bucs.kanesfurniture.com/ – you’ll need your Driver’s License number and must provide valid contact information, including a valid email address
3. Check for the Confirmation Email. Mine had a subject line “Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Busch Gardens – Kanes 10 First Downs Promotional Voucher”
4. Visit any Kane’s Furniture Showroom within 3 days of Game Date with your Driver’s License / ID and the confirmation email. Digital is fine – you need the Registration Code from the email.
5. Note that you must go to the store in person, you cannot send your ID and email with someone else to claim a ticket under your name. You are not obligated to look at furniture or talk to a sales person, but if you’re in need of new furniture be sure to take a look around while you are there!
6. Receive a a free one-day admission ticket for Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Since it is a paper ticket, anyone should be able to use it at the entry gate at Busch Gardens, it is not tied to your ID. I haven’t done this yet in 2024, but in 2023 the paper ticket I received was valid through 3/3/2024 with a few blackout dates listed around Thanksgiving / New Years (specifically 11/25, 12/28, 12/30, 12/31).
More info on this promotion:
We took advantage of this promo after the first eligible game in 2024. We can confirm this promotion is legit, in addition hundreds of our readers also registered and picked up tickets already.
Kane’s has locations across Central Florida – everything we’ve read says you can get the tickets at any Kane’s showroom, but we’d recommend calling your closest store to be sure. In addition to Lakeland they have stores in Brandon, Tampa, New Port Richey, Clearwater, St. Pete, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Naples, Orlando, Melbourne, Ocala (Kane’s locations).
IMPORTANT: Each person has to be 18+ and to go in person, you can’t take someone else’s ID and email with you. The promotion is limited to one ticket per person, per season.
What they gave us is a paper ticket that anyone can use, so although your kids under 18 can’t register, they should be able to use your ticket if you want to give it to them.
Limit of (1) one ticket registration per person for the entirety of the promotion for the 2024 Season.
If the registration isn’t currently open, check back after Future Bucs Home Games in 2024: September 22, 29, October 21, 27, November 10, December 8, 29, January 5.
Busch Gardens Tickets for Kids Under 18
Since you must be 18+ to register and claim a ticket, children under 18 cannot register. Here are some ways to save money and get Busch Gardens tickets for your entire family:
- Ask a friend or family member who is 18+ and not interested in a ticket for themselves to register and pick up a ticket for you. Once you have the paper ticket, anyone can use it at the gate.
- There are great deals on Busch Gardens Fun Passes right now – you can get the rest of 2024 free when you buy a 2025 Fun Pass {affiliate link}
- Hopefully they will offer the Free Busch Gardens Preschool Pass again in early January 2025 – you can get these paper tickets now for the adults and save them for Jan – Feb and use the preschool pass for ages 5 & under.
- Leave the kids at home and go on a day date or go at night during Christmas Town – it is magical!

A few things we do not know:
- We do not know how many tickets each Kane’s store keeps in stock, you may want to call and confirm they have tickets available before driving to the store.
- We don’t know if all Kane’s locations have tickets in stock or just certain locations close to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Visit the Kane’s Furniture website to see a list of locations and call the store closest to you to confirm.
- We are not sure what the deadline is for visiting the store to claim your ticket. Everything says 3 calendar days so we’re assuming Wednesday after a Sunday game. (We registered during the game on Sunday, October 22 and my email simply said the ticket voucher / email expires on Thursday, October 26).
- This promotion is available after any home game when the Buccaneers record 10 first downs or more. There is a countdown on the sign up page that lists the number of tickets remaining. The countdown seems to start at the max # of tickets and counts down to 0 after each game. If you visit the registration link and there is not a contact info form to complete, check back after the next Bucs game (if registration is not active it says The Registration Period For This Game Has Ended. Come Back Next Qualifying Game!)
We are in no way affiliated with the Bucs or Kane’s Furniture and don’t know anything more than what is posted here, we just wanted to share this great promotion! For more information check with your nearest Kane’s Store.
