San Jose hosts Outlaws in the Outfield
"We are excited to bring such outstanding country artists to Municipal Stadium at an incredibly affordable price," said Jim Weyermann, CEO of the San Jose Giants. "What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than with KRTY's party of the year? Be sure to get here early and enjoy some Turkey Mike's BBQ."
General admission tickets are just $15 in advance and $20 at the door. There are also a limited number of VIP tickets available for $65 each. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and bring a blanket as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis in the outfield. The grandstand and bleacher seats will also be available. Concert tickets can be purchased over the phone at (408) 297-1435 ext. 15 or in person at the Municipal Stadium Box Office, located at 588 East Alma Ave., San Jose, CA 95112.
