The Rocket City Trash Pandas will begin selling single-game tickets on Saturday, April 17th ahead of their inaugural 2021 season.
Tickets will go on sale in person beginning at 8 A.M. Central at the Toyota Field Ticket Office. At 12:01 P.M., tickets will be available online. Fans who come to Toyota Field between 8 A.M. and noon for tickets on Saturday will be able to walk around the ballpark, check out their seats, and enjoy 15% off any merchandise in The Junkyard Team Store.
“It’s almost hard to believe that after so many years of planning and preparation – and the cancellation of the 2020 season – we can finally offer the best seats in the house for every game on our schedule to the best fans in baseball,” said Trash Pandas President and CEO, Ralph Nelson. “I am asked every day, ‘How can I get great seats?’ and now there’s an answer: be here this Saturday morning.”
With approval from Major League Baseball and local government, Toyota Field is set to safely welcome a 100 percent capacity of 7,500 fans through the gates. Plexiglass buffers will be installed around the dugouts and bullpens for player safety, and masks will be required unless eating or drinking.
Additionally, the Trash Pandas have released their 2021 promotional calendar, filled with fireworks, giveaways, weekly specials, jersey auctions, and more.
Notable promotions and themed games throughout the season include Sprocket bobblehead giveaways (May 16 and July 11), Armed Forces Night (May 27), Frontline Workers Night (June 3), Throwback to the Huntsville Stars (June 17), Negro Leagues Celebration (July 27) and Superhero Night (August 19).
Each home stand will also feature daily promotions: Reeds Jewelers Ladies Night on Tuesdays, dog-friendly Wednesdays, a Thursday pregame happy hour from 5 P.M. to 7 P.M., fireworks every Friday and Saturday night, and Kids Run the Bases after every Sunday game.
“We are so excited to deliver a fun, first-class fan experience at Toyota Field,” said Trash Pandas Vice President of Marketing, Lindsey Knupp. “All of our promotions, theme nights, giveaways, and in-game entertainment will help make memories for years to come.”
Opening Night is set for May 11th at 6:35 P.M. against the Tennessee Smokies, highlighted by a stadium replica giveaway, fireworks, and numerous other special festivities. The entire 2021 promotional calendar is as follows:
