Breaking: Team that has been selling out its stadium all year wants its fans at its playoff games.
Because this seemingly got forgotten the last time this happened, this is only for single game tickets (which will sell out quickly). Nothing is stopping Dodgers fans from buying on a 3rd party marketplace if they really want to go to a game at Petco.
Idk how this is ever a story. Do people just never attempt to go with Seat Geek or Stubhub once the official Padres website blocks them? It’s incredibly easy to get tickets
Well, this is pretty easy to go around. If you purchase a ticket with a virtual card from a website like privacy.com, they say in their terms you can type in whatever billing zip code and address you want. Also, resale websites.
It’s a nice gesture though.
Edit: thanks for the downvotes. I’m not endorsing the workarounds, just saying this restriction isn’t going to actually stop anyone who wants to go to a game.
Soft
Annoying, but not a huge deal compared to things like forbidding the wearing the other team’s colors like some teams have done in the playoffs.
It’s a non-story. They did this 2 years ago and other teams have done this before and since including the LA Rams
Seems like this would keep tickets from scalpers to an extent.
Nothing wrong with this. What would be extremely lame is doing something like what the Sixers did in the playoffs which was buy up tickets and give them to fans because they can’t even get their own fans to chill seats otherwise. But just giving your owns fans priority for buying tickets is pretty reasonable
Nothing is stopping the Dodgers from not allowing people with Credit Cards in San Diego to buy tickets to game 1 and 2. NFL teams do this for the playoffs all the time too. It makes sense too, rather have people from your city get a chance to go see their team in the playoffs.
Also it amazes me, but there are still tons of people who do not know about Seatgeek, Stubhub or Gametime or think they are scams. They have been legit sites for years, and if they don’t get you the ticket, they refund you. This is the playoffs, so do not be surprised if tickets are pricier on there too.
lol fans on twitter calling this move weak or embarrassing
this isn’t anything new, nor out of reason. sports teams in general have been doing this for meaningful games for the last 5 years
This is a stupid policy that basically tells everybody that you’re scared of your rivals’ fans
It also is a bit of a slippery slope from a discriminatory business practices standpoint
You love to see it. (The policy and subsequent whining)
I love English soccer so I think it would be cool if there was like an allotment of 2500 tickets for just away fans all together. MLB stadiums aren’t set up like that so I know it’s not realistic just would be a cool thing to see. Also North American sports need relegation so shitty owners can’t run teams into the ground for gain.
How insecure do you need to be to do that and also the times teams restrict opposing jerseys? Get a better product if the road fans overwhelm your home turf.
