Minor League Baseball is An Affordable Option

Minor League Baseball™ continues to be one of the best entertainment options available, especially for families. The average cost for a family of four to enjoy a game this season is just $62.52. The average cost for the 160 clubs in the domestic-based leagues that charge admission was calculated using the prices of two adult tickets, two child tickets, four hot dogs, two sodas, two beers, a program or scorecard and parking. 

The ticket prices are based on the most economical fixed seat in the ballpark. Adult tickets are available for $8 or less at nearly 75% of MiLB™ ballparks. 

Fans can spend less at a majority of the ballparks, thanks to discounted child tickets that are offered at 80% of them, the free or special ticket prices for senior citizens and/or military personnel and by taking advantage of incentives, such as ticket and concessions specials on certain nights, berm seating or social media deals. 

"When stacked up against other professional sports leagues and family entertainment options, Minor League Baseball proves year after year that it provides the most bang for your buck," Minor League Baseball President Pat O'Conner said. "Our clubs work year-round to provide their fans with experiences that are memorable, family-oriented and budget friendly. Each ballpark and club brings something unique to its fan base, but one thing they all share is the privilege of serving the communities which embrace them." 

The classification averages are as follows: Triple-A® ($70.03); Double-A® ($62.64); Class A® ($62.47); and Short Season-A™/Rookie® ($56.37).
