First year in Vegas. Are season tickets worth it? Here is everything you need to know.
There is something specific about being a season ticket holder for a franchise's first year in a city. You are part of the foundation. The team will remember the fans who showed up in Year 1. The prices are introductory. The seat selection is better than it will be once the team establishes itself. If you are even 50% sure you are going to multiple games, the season ticket math usually works in your favor.
The Athletics have tiered season ticket packages ranging from full-season plans to half-season and mini-plan options. Full season runs from entry-level outfield seats to premium club-level options. The sweet spot for most fans is a half-season plan in the lower bowl: you get a good seat, a manageable commitment, and flexibility to attend the games you want while trading the rest.
Priority access to playoff tickets. Dedicated entry gates that move faster. Discounts on merchandise. First crack at new seat upgrades. The relocation waitlist for better seats as they open. And the thing you cannot quantify: the feeling of having a seat that is yours, a routine, a tribe of people around you who show up the same as you.
If you buy more games than you can attend, season ticket holders have access to the team's official ticket transfer platform. You can list unused tickets for resale at market rate and recoup some of your investment. In Year 1, expect good demand for weekend games and rivalry matchups. Midweek Tuesday games against the Royals in April may be tougher to move.
Go directly to the Las Vegas Athletics official website. Avoid third-party ticket sellers for season packages — you want the full benefits package and the direct relationship with the team. The process takes about 20 minutes online and includes seat selection from a live interactive map.
