Press Release - Strong Ticket Sales Expected for Yankees, Other Popular Teams During Spring Training

Strong Ticket Sales Expected for Yankees, Other Popular Teams During Spring Training

     KISSIMMEE (CVB) FL, January 19, 2010-- Osceola County Stadium officials will open its box office Saturday in anticipation of a high demand for tickets for Houston Astros spring training baseball games against the world champion New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.
     The Osceola County Stadium box office will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday (January 23) to allow fans of those teams to purchase tickets.  After Saturday, the Stadium box office will be open Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on all game days.
       Tickets may also be purchased online at www.osceolastadium.com or by telephone and in person at Florida Ticketmaster outlets.
      “We expect the demand for tickets to those games to be real high,” facility manager Pete Rodriguez declared in consideration of each team’s worldwide fan base.  “These are premium games, prime opportunities for baseball fans to see the Astros compete against some of the best players and best teams in major leagues,” he added.  The premium game schedule has the Astros taking the field against the Boston Red Sox on March 16; the New York Yankees on March 20; the St. Louis Cardinals on March 22; and the Philadelphia Phillies on March 30, the next to last spring training game. Each game starts at 1:05 p.m.
     According to Rodriguez, ticket pricing to the premium games remains the same as last year: $25 for dugout box seats; $23 (outfield box); $21 (upper reserve) and $18 (outfield reserve).
     Acknowledging the return of the Houston Astros for the 26th year, Rodriguez said “Spring training baseball is a great sports product and Osceola County Stadium is the best place to watch the games.”  He added that the Astros will play a 16-game schedule, beginning with the March 4th season opener against the Washington Nationals. In addition to the premium games, Rodriguez expects a strong fan turnout for games against the Atlanta Braves (March 6 & 14) and the New York Mets on March 21.
     Osceola County Stadium individual ticket prices for the non premium games are: $22 for Dugout Box Seats, $20 for Outfield Box Seats, $18 for Upper Reserved Seats and $15 for Outfield Reserved Seats.
     Besides individual game tickets, fans can purchase a season ticket package for all 16 games for $352 for Dugout Box Seats; $320 for Outfield Box Seats; $288 for Upper Reserved Seats; and $240 for Outfield Reserved Seats.  Another package deal that has already proven successful is the “Bagwell Weekend Plan.”
     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.  
     Credit card purchases can be made by calling Florida Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.
