Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets online in advance, because on-site tickets are sold only while supplies last and many nights are expected to sell out.
- If you'd rather pay cash, buy Mighty Money at the Ticket Office or Guest Services, since the ballpark itself is cashless.
- Keep your hand stamp, which lets you leave and come back through the ballpark gates as often as you like on your ticketed night.
- If you plan to come more than once, look at the Season Pass, which gives unlimited Festival of Lights visits all season.
- Bring the dog only on a Paws & Claus Night; on every other night, only service animals are allowed in the ballpark.
