Press Release - Houston Astros Spring Training Returns for 26th year at Osceola County Stadium

<b>Kissimmee (CVB) FL, December 15, 2009</b> — Central Florida baseball fans are making deals of their own even as Major League owners wrap up their off-season wheeling and dealing.
Season ticket sales to Houston Astros Spring Training games are outpacing past years, according to Pete Rodriguez, manager of Osceola County Stadium where the team returns for its 26th season.  The scores of local fans taking advantage of the “value-added” season ticket offers have been attracted in large part by a “Bagwell Weekend Plan” that includes tickets to all six Saturday and Sunday home games. The “Bagwell Weekend Plan,” like all season ticket purchases, comes with guaranteed same seating and free parking.
“Spring training baseball is a great sports product for our residents and out of town guests.  Osceola County Stadium is the best place to watch the games and we are very pleased at the public’s response to these value-added offers,” said Rodriguez said.  
Priced at $108, the “Bagwell Weekend Plan” features a game against the world champion New York Yankees on Saturday, March 20, and two games against the Atlanta Braves (March 6 & 14). The six-game package also has the Astros taking the field opposite the Washington Nationals on March 13, the New York Mets on March 21, and the Tampa Bay Rays on March 27.
  Season ticket prices for all 16 games are $352 for Dugout Box Seats, $320 for Outfield Box Seats, $288 for Upper Reserved Seats and $240 for Outfield Reserved Seats.  The prices include the recent addition of two games, the March 4th season opener against the Washington Nationals and one against the Boston Red Sox on March 16th.  
Season tickets may be purchased now by calling (321) 697-3201. 
Individual game tickets for Astros Spring Training games in Florida go on sale Saturday, January 23 at 10 a.m. (ET).  Osceola County Stadium individual ticket prices are the same as last year: $22 for Dugout Box Seats, $20 for Outfield Box Seats, $18 for Upper Reserved Seats and $15 for Outfield Reserved Seats.  However, much like last year individual game tickets to four premium games featuring the Boston Red Sox (March 16), New York Yankees (20), St. Louis Cardinals (March 22), and the Philadelphia Phillies (March 30) are $3.00 higher per ticket.
All games begin at 1:05 p.m. and tickets can be purchased in several ways: online at www.astros.com; at the Osceola County Stadium box office (home games only) or by telephone and in person at Florida Ticketmaster outlets (home and road games). The box office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on all game days.
 Credit card purchases can be made by calling Florida Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.
