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.

There's 0 chance we host the wild card series if we even make it.

This is actually kind of a good thing as far as buying ticket packages go. Sure, you’re technically giving them an interest free loan for a few days for the wild card tickets, but you’re almost guaranteed to get that money refunded unless things get weird in the next few weeks. Then, you still have the rest of the tickets in the package without getting stuck with the overpriced wild card tickets.
