D-backs Most Valuable Party for Advantage Members Replaces Fan Fest

In this story:
For the second consecutive year the Diamondbacks will host an exclusive spring training event for Advantage Members in place of the traditional Fan Fest the club operated up until 2020. Unable to host Fan Fest in 2021 due to the Covid Pandemic, the club revamped the event starting in 2022. It is now known as "Most Valuable Party" and will take place on February 17th.
Citing overwhelming positive feedback, a team official indicated that a key takeaway was the smaller crowds created more connection points between fans and players and resulted in a more meaningful experience for all those involved.
The team's Advantage Plan landing page provides information on how to become a member and the benefits attached. Essentially it requires purchasing a ticket plan. In addition to getting access to season seats purchased there is early access to pre-sales and concerts, and various member only events throughout the season. There are also numerous discounts and the plans can be purchased over various time options. Those interested can fill out a Ticket Information Request form to find out what options best suit their needs and ability to purchase.
Surely some fans will be disappointed not to be able to attend a Fan Fest event, especially coming on the heels of the team's first World Series appearance since 2001 this past season. However fans who are not Advantage Members can still take advantage of the daily fan experience options at Salt River Fields during Spring Training. Workouts are open to the public every day so fans can watch players up close as well as try to get photographs and autographs.
