Orioles give fans three options for purchasing playoff tickets

The Orioles today announced three options for fans to purchase postseason tickets, which will be available exclusively online. Fans may visit www.orioles.com/postseason for a seating chart, schedule and additional ticket information. All three options are for the purchase of wild card and American League Division Series tickets. American League Championship Series and World Series tickets will become available for sale at a later date, if necessary. Option 1: Fans will receive the opportunity to purchase postseason tickets before the general public by placing a $250 per seat deposit on a 2013 full or partial season ticket plan, including 13-game plans. Fans who place a deposit by midnight tonight will have access to an exclusive online-only pre-sale on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. Beginning tomorrow, 2013 deposits will no longer guarantee fans an opportunity to participate in this pre-sale. Option 2: Fans may enter the postseason ticket opportunity with a valid email address at www.orioles.com/postseason for a chance to be selected to participate in a special pre-sale prior to tickets being released to the general public. Fans are encouraged to enter the postseason ticket opportunity in order to have a better chance at acquiring postseason tickets, but fans who enter are not guaranteed to be chosen for the opportunity. Option 3: A public sale for wild card and American League Division Series tickets will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. exclusively online at www.orioles.com/postseason. Ticket availability is expected to be limited and tickets may sell out quickly. All that's left, of course, is for the Orioles to make the playoffs.
