Single-game tickets for the regular season go on sale Feb. 29 at 10 a.m.
The Yankees are taking names for a “premium ticket” lottery through Feb. 24. That’s Opening Day, the final home game, Old Timers’ Day and games against the Mets and Red Sox. Go to this link to register.
If you have a season-ticket plan, you’re eligible for a pre-sale on premium games. Go to this link for info.
For ticket information in general, goto Yankees.com.
Sweet! Thanks, Pete!
Thanks! I’ve been wondering when they go on sale.
i hope i get some tickets when they go on sale. i wont buy them unless i get them directly, i wont pay all that money, and i dont want to support this secondary ticket market that is preventing regular fans from attending games. I’ve been going to YS for 40+ years and i want to say my goodbyes, but i wont support the profiteering.
Too bad they didnt hand out chips to the fans that came in 1972 or 1989 games, when they were drawing 18,000 to a weeknight game, chips that we could hand in now to get the tickets for the final games.
Thanks for spreading the good word, Pete. Keep these out of the scalpers hands.
From what I have heard, the final game tickets are all sold out.
Yes, final game tickets are sold out.
I have gotten screwed over as today is the season ticket holder pre-sale and I wanted to get tickets to opening day (my plan doesn’t get opening day). I tried to sign on this morning here at work and ticketmaster.com is refusing my connection. WTF?!?!? It is working on my cell phone but try buying tickets on a Treo 700p – next to impossible. In any case, I am pretty annoyed right now.
I logged on with my presale code exactly at 10am, got thru right away and tried to get opening day tickets, by 10:02, ticketmaster was telling me they could not fulfil my request for 4 tickets. It would have been physically impossible to get thru any faster then I did it and I still got shut out for opening day. Wasnt a complete loss since I got some tickets for Redsox games and one of the Mets games, but I really wanted opening day this year!
Is anyone lining up at the stadium for tickets? What’s a good strategy?
Did they already announce the winners to the lottery, or when should we expect that?
