There will be two special options available to pre-purchase for the appearance. Fans will be able to either take a picture with Bartolo Colon or get an autographed item (provided by the ticketholder).

Pre-Purchased Photo And Autograph Tickets Procedure:

• For pre-purchased photo and autograph tickets, fans will check in at the table located on the main concourse at section 202 when gates open at 5:30 pm to receive their wristband for the event.
• Different colored wristbands will be distributed for each package at the communicated time for the event.
• Wristbands are on a first come, first served basis and limited to the number of purchased packages.
• Once they receive a wristband, fans can enjoy the game until their wristband color is called over the PA system or shown on the scoreboard.
• When their color is called, fans can get on line for their picture or autograph. Bartolo Colon will only be accommodating what was purchased by the fan (i.e. only a photo OR an autograph. NOT both.)
• Once fans receive their picture or autograph, their wristband will be removed and they can go to their seats to enjoy the game.
