Baseball Tickets
Here are a few pointers to finding the best baseball tickets online.
First, go to your favorite baseball team's website. Confirm availability in the tickets
section of the team's website. Find a team-sponsored online ticket box office.
Some teams offer this service so their season ticket holders can sell tickets
to games they cannot attend, which makes it the best place to find a choice
seat at a reasonable price. You can also visit an independent online ticket
broker like StubHub.com and browse through the wide range of tickets available
for purchase. These sites offer tickets that are put up for sale by season
ticket holders who cannot attend the game. For great deals and bargains, also
visit ticket marketplaces like eBay.
It is important, as in the case of any
online transaction, to ensure the website where you buy tickets is secure
and reputable. Secure websites will have a seal of approval from the Better Business
Bureau, Verisign, or other such organizations. You must always ensure before the
actual purchase that you have a good seat, by checking a map of the ballpark, a
facility available at StubHub.com.
With a ticket broker, there is a wider
range of seating options to choose from. However, there are often several
additional fees that apply, like facility charges convenience charges, order
processing fees and the delivery price. These fees often jack up the overall
price per ticket.
The other option, purchasing tickets
from an authorized ticket outlet like Ticketmaster or Tickets.com, can involve
visiting their centers “no more than one hour in advance of the event on sale
time", after which you will be part of a lottery-like random number
distribution (RND) procedure. Post-lottery, you can tell the ticket agent what the price range of seats you would like (the day tickets go on sale you may only
select tickets by price, you will not have the option to choose any particular
seating area), view the seating chart, and then the tickets will be printed and
paid for.
Buying tickets from a popular and reputable ticket broker might cost a little extra, but you can pick and choose
from great seats that are best suited to your budget.
