Inquiry about tickets and seating for my first game

[Quintana]

I'm planning to watch a game on July 24th playing the Tigers. I don't live near LA. I'm planning to sit in the upperfield (highest level behind the homeplate). How much time in advance do I need to buy the tickets?(considering there is a discount) Does sitting at the end of the section and bottom of the section affect the view?

For that game I don't think the price will change much, it may even go down as the game gets closer.

 

I think the first few rows in the "VIEW MVP" section (about 516-525) is a great place to sit, you can see everything well. 

 

This link has good info:

Good Luck!

Section 500 is the high altitude seating. If you go for one game then pay more money and sit somewhere better. Even section 400 is an upgrade but stay out of row A because the safety rail can obstruct your view.

Well, if you gamble on the Angels falling completely out of contention by the All Star break you can find discounted tickets the week of the game. If they don't the tickets will be pretty much at face value plus the ticket brokers "convenience fee". Usually there is something available as long as it is not the Dogs, Skankees or Bloody Sox in town.

 

Right now you can go on ticketmaster and pick up any amount of tickets you need for that date and it is $28.25++ per ticket in the 400 section behind home plate. Or you can splurge and get field tickets on the visitor first base line for $86++. If this is your one trip, go field level.

just click on the T for tickets to go to Ticketmaster for the date you are in town.

BTW Seat Geek is selling season ticket holder tickets for whatever the ticket holder wants for the ticket. That could be well over the face value so shop wisely.

[Quintana]

I don't want to spend that much, I think $10 is great deal. Is it really hard to see from that high? Can I see the ball travelling around?

[Blarg]

It is like watching baseball from a 10 story building. The era of $10 tickets are over. You may find a Uecker seat in the far outfield or by the scoreboard for that money but nothing that you won't need binoculars to see the outfielders.

Seat Geek doesn't sell tickets, it shows what everyone else is selling tickets for including StubHub, eBay, the Angels Exchange, 714 tickets, and other brokers. Besides that, the map shows what the view looks like from each section. Its a great site for information.

A Thu game against the Tigers shouldn't be too expensive. If you want to splurge a little, I still think Terrace MVP is the best value. Great sightlines and can be had for around $55.

Angels/TM have discount codes for some games.

[Quintana]

Maybe sitting in the 500s isn't so good after all. I really don't want to spend much,

Is sitting at the 400s any different from the 500s?

 

Also, do you guys prefer sitting on the far outfield sidelines or up the 400s?

[CeramicDragon]

If you are not a local, I would splurge and get better seats. 300 Club seats are awesome! Who know when you will see another game? If not 300s, at least the 400s.

[Quintana]

Do I get to use the discount codes if I buy it in the box office a few days before the game? Will there still be tickets for 3 if I buy the tickets for 400s and 500s a few days before a the game

[halobob]

The Angels will not sell out that game unless they go on a ridiculous winning streak, and even then it probably still wont sell out.  

[Quintana]

I know, but will the 400s and 500s sell out considering they are 50% off? 

[Quintana]

Is there a bus service from Anaheim convention center to the Angels stadium? It says here on the LAA website but not the bus company website.

[Rochambeau]

Yes. I want to say Route 55 but don't quote me on that.

[halobob]

I know, but will the 400s and 500s sell out considering they are 50% off? 

No.  There will be a solid 10,000 empty seats minimum at that game.

[pattimelt]

There is the Katella bus.. check www.octa.net  for info on that bus-- it's a public bus.  There is also the ART bus. This is a trolley that will bring you directly from the convention center to the stadium and also goes to the mall(the outlets at Orange) among other places.  ART is short for Anaheim resort transit.  That gives you at least 2 options..

Don't know. You can buy tickets online using the code(s) and print at home.

[pattimelt]

there should NOT be a problem getting a seat upstairs for this game even on game day.

You're overthinking it, dude. Relax and figure it out when you get here. The Stadium is not that far from the Convention Ctr, and you can roll up to the ticket window an hour before the first pitch and still have a ton of seat options for that game.
