Buying MLB tickets online can help simplify the process and remove some of the annoyances that come from buying tickets at the stadium. In this article we discuss how to buy tickets at Citizens Bank Park, and what your other options might be.
Some Philadelphia Phillies home games will sellout. Therefore, if you wait to buy tickets at the game, you could possibly be left with no ticket if the game is sold-out. Buying your tickets in advance, if possible, may be the better option.
I like to use Vivid Seats because they show me what my view from the seats will look like prior to purchase. Click here to view Phillies tickets available at VividSeats.com (affiliate link takes you to vividseats.com).
Buying tickets online can be a bit scary when it comes to giving out your information, which is why Vivid Seats has their 100% Buyer Guarantee program. The program is designed to give you security and peace of mind when you are buying tickets online. Here is all that comes with the 100% Buyers Guarantee program:
Not only do they make sure you are satisfied and your transactions are secure, but they also have a very user-friendly platform. When you go to purchase tickets, they show you exactly where the seats are on the stadium map. They also give you an actual picture view from those seats.
The difference between buying from Vivid Seats versus buying directly from the team is Vivid Seats is a secondary ticket marketplace, meaning fan-to-fan. As mentioned, usually online ticket brokers like Vivid Seats will have a lot more tickets available and options to choose from.
There are, of course, other fan-to-fan ticket sites out there besides Vivid Seats that will also work just fine (like Ticketmaster). But I like to use Vivid Seats to take advantage of their 100% Buyer Guarantee and loyalty program.

During home games, the Phillies have additional ticket windows open on Citizens Bank Way (view). You can also contact the Phillies Ticket Office via phone or email for more information on purchasing tickets at the stadium or through the Phillies website (info). Also you can check out our Philadelphia Phillies Gate and Parking Guide.
Buying from the team, if possible, is always the best option. But some fans like to use online ticket brokers like StubHub and Vivid Seats, which give you access to re-sold fan-to-fan tickets. I like to use Vivid Seats because they show me what my view from the seats will look like prior to purchase.

As we discussed earlier in the article, you also have the option to buy tickets from the Phllies via phone or through their official website while supplies last. To learn more, click here.
Single-game tickets for all 81 Phillies home games at Citizens Bank Park went on sale on to the general public Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023. Besides the action from Trea Turner, Aaron Nola, Kyle Schwarber and the Phils on the field, there is plenty of fun to be had with promotional giveaways and even a postgame concert from Shaquille O'Neal (seriously) this season.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Opening Day is two weeks away, and Philadelphia Phillies tickets on one secondary market are the fifth-most in-demand team in MLB. StubHub on Thursday said Phillies tickets moved up four spots from last season.
PHILADELPHIA - As the Philadelphia Phillies gear up to take on the San Diego Padres, the schedule for the NLCS has been revealed and a limited number of tickets for games at Citizens Bank Park will go on sale Monday.
You can start selling your Philadelphia Phillies tickets when any marketplace activates the games for resale. The MLB schedule was released on Aug 4th of 2021, and most marketplaces will activate the games for resale sometime between the August schedule release and December.
If you know you are going to be keeping your exact seats, you can list before your tickets are in your account. If you are considering upgrading your seats, you may want to wait until after the seat upgrade window to list your tickets.
The third and final recommended window to sell would be at least one month prior to the game. Inside of one month you get a lot of people listing, which makes prices fall quickly. Sellers should list and sell their tickets before this surge in ticket inventory happens.
If you do not have the MLB Ballpark app, to transfer your Philadelphia Phillies tickets, go to -phillies-tickets-guide/my-account-general-login on your phone or desktop to go through the ticket transfer process.
There are no federal or state laws prohibiting the resale of tickets. Certain states do have rules and regulations around whether a broker license is required, how much above face value you can list the tickets for, or whether you can sell the tickets on the premise of the stadium.
Unfortunately, those are the terms to which you must agree when you list tickets for sale on the site. You may not have read and/or understood them before listing. I am not saying that I agree with the policy but I know what my obligations are when I offer tickets for sale. You would have been fine if you had just allowed the one remaining ticket to sell on its own. It can be an expensive lesson but hopefully you won't make the same mistake again. Good luck.
That's an inflated price, limited seating or not. But it raises more questions, like how how are tickets being sold on the secondary market, when the Phillies haven't started selling tickets themselves yet? The team confirmed to PhillyVoice that mobile tickets with the barcodes, which are scanned at the gates at Citizens Bank Park prior to entry, have not been issued yet, and at this point, it's not guaranteed that the seating locations described in the StubHub listings will even be included in the Phillies' socially-distanced pod layout for fans.
"We're very aware of the secondary market," John Weber, the Phillies' senior vice president of ticket operations and projects, said. "People can post whatever ... but no tickets have been transferred to StubHub via the barcode."
Beginning next week, the approximately 10,000 Phillies season ticket holders, who have already paid the team, will have the first crack at pre-sale, single-game tickets for the first 19 home games, before the tickets go on sale to the general public on March 12.
The team is only selling tickets to the first 19 home games, at a limit of 8,800 spectators per game, which is about 20% of the ballpark's capacity. The Phillies explained they did this due to the fluidity of the situation and that the pandemic could swing occupancy limits in either direction by the time that early stretch is completed.
"But nothing's transferred. The barcode is not transferred yet," Weber said. "The money may be transferred, but the barcode is not transferred. So now, it's just a matter of StubHub going back to those clients and saying these tickets are not valid."
"Any Phillies tickets listed on StubHub prior to March 12 are likely season ticket holders who are listing tickets based on previous years," StubHub said in a statement. "If any of these tickets are canceled because of reduced capacity or other COVID-related restrictions, buyers are covered by our FanProtect Guarantee, which ensures that they receive a new ticket of equal or better quality if possible, or a credit worth 120% of their original purchase."
In general, the standard for the ticket re-selling industry is to allow sellers to post tickets for sale as soon as an event has been scheduled. The 2021 MLB schedule was released last July, initially without game times, and was later refined as planning advanced.
StubHub's view on this murky situation is that listings posted by season ticket holders are indeed legitimate to the extent that teams technically owe their customers the tickets they have purchased, in some form.
A secondary buyer, who makes a purchase now for a specific game, may not get a ticket if the seller doesn't end up with any of the 8,800 tickets available for the game in the listing on StubHub or another secondary market.
The situation has not been the same with secondary market tickets for the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers. Officials with those teams said they have been in communication with season ticket holders and StubHub to avoid confusion wherever possible.
Similar to the Phillies, season ticket holders for the Sixers will have access to a pre-sale for single-game tickets starting next week. Unlike with Phillies games, there are no speculative Sixers tickets for sale on StubHub.
The Sixers have an exclusive partnership with StubHub and fans can not post tickets for sale there until they have actually purchased tickets from the pre-sale. That partnership does stop people from listing tickets for sale now on other platforms. On SeatGeek, for example, users can track upcoming Sixers home games, but there are no active ticket listings, as of publication of this article.
With a season ticket base of about 12,000 fans, the Sixers have told their customers not to assume they'll get tickets for a particular game and not to list them in advance on StubHub or any other secondary market.
"The reason tickets haven't gone on sale yet is we have to have every configuration set and ready before we get there," a team spokesperson said. "You're not going to see Sixers tickets listed until (people) buy a seat and they know they have a seat."
