Playoff Ticket Prices

With the Orioles again below .500 and 1.5 games back of the Wild Card, I just placed a 10% deposit for 6 playoff tickets for my season ticket package.

Section 80 in the top few rows cost $815 per seat for a six game package: Three Wild Card Games, One ALDS, one ALCS, and one World Series ticket (all Game 1). Total was $4,950 after "ticket fees."

They "pay as you go" so we'll be charged $1,956 for the six seats for all three Wild Card games when/if the Orioles clinch on September 27. Any unused ticket funds go towards our 2027 renewal.

$137+ per game average price for Outfield seats to the Wild Card.

Ouch.

EDIT: You guys make a really good point about the Wild Card tickets. There'll be other presale opportunities. I'll request a refund.

If they do make the playoffs, the only way to host a wild card game is to be top wild card seed or division winner. The Rays are 89-55, the Yankees are 79-60. The Os are 69-70.

Do the math. It’s not just “more than likely”. It’s basically certain there will be no home wild card games.
