Finding Cheaper Baseball Tickets Tips: Use TickPick!

Finding Cheaper Baseball Tickets Tips: Use TickPick!

Posted by Kurt Smith

As you probably know if you’ve visited this website, I’m a fan not just of TickPick, but also finding cheap MLB baseball tickets! One of my goals with this blog is to help baseball fans save money on tickets, since that’s often the biggest expense of going to a ballgame.

First I’m going to tell you why shopping around for baseball tickets is well worth it, and then I’ll tell you why TickPick is my favorite.

But first, here is my helpful affiliate link, and thanks in advance for supporting our sponsors!

My friends at TickPick have MLB baseball tickets…they offer a best price guarantee, a buyer’s trust guarantee, and NO service fees. Sounds like a no-brainer to me!

Don’t be fooled by the friendly looking building. They still charge fees.

If you’re like I was for years before I started doing head-slapping research, you probably bought your baseball tickets one of two ways…either online through the team’s website, or at the box office.

And while both methods have their merits, I threw away a lot of money doing that.

Even though teams offer “dynamic pricing” these days, where the price of tickets goes up or down depending on a variety of factors, like the opponent, starting pitchers, approaching milestones for players or teams, etc., it’s still well worth it to search online with third parties and compare prices.

Try my method, and you won’t have to wait in line.

I’ll share just one example with you. I once saved close to $120 on face value for two Red Sox tickets…for pretty good seats!…just by shopping around.

It was a weekday game against Oakland, so that had something to do with it…but think about how much I saved just by checking! That’s plenty left over for a Fenway Frank or seven and some postgame partying. And Fenway is definitely a place where you should take any discount you can.

There are a lot of factors that can drive baseball ticket prices down, especially on third party sites: an excessively hot or cold day, a low value and distant opponent, a home team that is underperforming, or lots of tickets still available close to game time.

That’s when you look at third party sites, where you can save a bunch.

Very important tip, though: when you’re comparing prices, go all the way to the checkout screen and find out what you’re really paying. (That actually especially applies to buying from the team website.) Those fees are a significant part of the cost of tickets.

Why I Love TickPick For Cheaper Baseball Tickets

So this brings me to why I love TickPick for cheap baseball tickets, and why they are the Official Ticket Resale Partner of Ballpark E-Guides. (That’s not really a thing, but it sounds good.)

TickPick offers a selection of resale tickets for all MLB teams and games. You can choose a game, and sort out the available tickets by the best deal, the lowest price, and the number of tickets you need, and other filters.

But what separates TickPick is a few extras they offer. First, they have a lowest price guarantee…that’s right, this is directly from their website:

If you can find the same seats on a competitor’s site for lower prices than TickPick within 30 minutes of placing your order, we’ll add 110% of the difference in price to your account in the form of TickPick credit.

Buying online spares you the search for signs like this. And the trust factor of people you meet.

They also, in case you’re understandably concerned about trusting third party sellers, offer a Buyer’s Trust guarantee, where they ensure that you’ll have legitimate tickets to enter the event. You can read more about the guarantee here. Incidentally, TickPick also has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

But best of all, TickPick doesn’t add hidden fees. As I’m sure you know, the fees for event tickets are insane these days…I’ve seen them upwards of $50 per ticket for some events…and they’re highly annoying. I want to know up front what I’m going to be paying. I’m sure you do too. TickPick shows you the REAL price.

Finally, one more bonus. TickPick right now is offering $10 off your first purchase when you sign up for their newsletter. And with the newsletter, they’ll notify you about deals on other MLB tickets. Aren’t you glad you read this?
