Dodger Thoughts

If you want to guarantee your seat to Opening Day 2015 — as well as to a big chunk of next season’s games — you can sign up for a Dodger Mini Plan, starting today.

Dodger Mini Plans come in two options: a 20-game set plan and a 30-game flex plan.

The 20-gamer includes Opening Day, Jackie Robinson Day (with the first ever Jackie Robinson replica jersey giveaway), all 10 bobblehead games and all eight Cy Young Collectors’ Pins games. You’ll also have access to a presale of postseason tickets, if applicable.

Step up to the 30-game flex plan, and you can pick the games you want to go to: Opening Day, games against the Giants, any promotions, any of the 81 home dates.  You’ll also get rights to potential Wild Card, National League Division Series and National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium in 2015.

Visit dodgers.com/miniplans for more information. Pricing information can be found here. And if you’re interested in a Mini Plan with premium seating, click here.

The public online sale of tickets for Dodger Wild Card, Division Series and League Championship Series home games begins Friday at 10 a.m. at dodgers.com.

Season ticket holders and premium seat holders can get a head start on playoff tickets beginning Wednesday, and mini-plan holders can follow suit beginning Thursday.

Twitter followers of @Dodgers will have an exclusive on-sale period of 9:45 a.m. until 9:59 a.m. Friday to purchase their Wild Card, Division Series and League Championship Series tickets before the general public sale begins online. A special presale code will be tweeted out Friday at 9:45 a.m.

In addition, the Dodgers are offering a few lucky fans the chance to purchase tickets in advance of Friday’s public online sale, through the Dodgers Postseason Ticket Opportunity Sweepstakes.

Information on the Dodgers’ potential postseason schedule can be found here at dodgers.com/postseason.

As was the case during the 2014 regular season, fans are strongly encouraged to purchase parking in advance and will receive discounts off the on-location price if they do. Postseason parking will be at or over capacity for all games, and without purchasing parking in advance, parking is not guaranteed on site.

More information on parking and alternate means of transportation to Dodger Stadium can be found here.

Details on the public sale of tickets for potential World Series games will be announced on an upcoming date.

The Dodgers sold out of season tickets in 2014 and started a waiting list for the first time in 20 years, capping sales at 35,000. That same 35,000 limit will apply for next year, but if you’re interested, you can sign up for the wait list now.

Season ticket holders retain the right to purchase postseason tickets for that season, collect promotional items and secure tickets for Opening Day and interleague matchups.

Prices are increasing in many areas of the ballpark, but more than half of season tickets continue to be priced at less than $20, many less than $15, and there will be tickets on the Reserve level for as little as $5.

“We are tireless in our efforts to field the best possible team, provide a first-class fan experience at the stadium and to be an integral part of making Los Angeles a better community,” Dodger president and CEO Stan Kasten said. “We implemented these adjustments in price structure with a continuing priority to offer a variety of ticketing options that will accommodate any family or individual budget.”

Following are highlights of the 2015 Dodger season ticket offer:

• 99 percent of all season tickets increase $5 or less.
• 79 percent of all season tickets increase $4 or less.
• All seats, like the one listed on chair rentals las vegas, under $20 increase $2 or less.
• The one percent of season seats that increase $6-$10 consist of the front row of Field level seats between the bases and the newly-renovated Executive Club level seats.
• Tickets on the Reserve level will increase no more than $3.
• The Dodgers will continue to have tickets available for as little as $5.
• There will be no increase for general admission season parking, while premium season parking will increase by $200 for the 2015 season.

For more information or to be placed on a waiting list to purchase season tickets, please call (323) DODGERS or visit dodgers.com/seasontickets.

Another no-hitter, another special Dodger ticket offer.

In celebration of Clayton Kershaw’s first career no-hitter last night, the Dodgers will offer a limited number of $22 tickets to Kershaw’s next scheduled home start, June 29 vs. the Cardinals at 1:10 p.m.

A limited number of $22 Infield Reserve (reg. $30), Preferred Reserve (reg. $25) and Left Field Pavilion tickets for the June 29 game are available for purchase now, while supplies last, by visiting www.dodgers.com/nohitter or by calling 866-DODGERS.
