New Bar Codes on Tickets Change re-entry Process: Beware of Scalpers Selling Scanned Tickets

Beginning this year, both reserved seat and general admission tickets are printed with bar codes, which will be scanned as fans enter the stadium. As soon as tickets are scanned, they are automatically canceled and cannot be reused. Since there’s no way to tell a scanned ticket from one that’s unscanned, scalpers may attempt to resell used tickets to unsuspecting buyers. We advise persons needing tickets to avoid scalpers, who may be selling canceled tickets that have already been scanned. Ultimately, the best way to ensure the tickets you’re buying are valid is to purchase them from reliable vendors. If you buy tickets from someone on the street, there’s no guarantee that it’s a valid ticket.

We strongly encourage fans to always check at the Rosenblatt Stadium box office for tickets that may be turned back from the team allotments. A limited number of reserved seat tickets are available each day at the Rosenblatt Stadium box office throughout the Series. Reserved seat tickets become available as unused team tickets are released for sale each game day.

Even fans who buy general admission tickets from scalpers could face the same situation. Typically, scalpers will buy a book of general admission tickets and then sell them individually after tearing them out of the book. There is no way to know whether these individual tickets have already been scanned.

With the new bar codes comes a change in how you will be allowed to exit and re-enter the stadium. The process is as follows:

RESERVED SEATS IN THE GRANDSTANDS

    * Ticket is scanned upon entry.
    * Ticket must be scanned before exiting. Staff will direct fans to the main plaza gates nearest the box office where they also must receive a hand stamp before exiting.
    * To reenter, the fan's ticket will be re-scanned and they must present the hand stamp.

GENERAL ADMISSION

    * GA Ticket is scanned upon entry.
    * To exit, the fan must ask for a hand stamp as well as a ticket stub (written on by staff).
    * The fan must show the hand stamp as well as the ticket stub for reentry.

NOTE: Reentry to GA is NOT guaranteed, even following the above process. To reenter, the fan must go to the back of the GA line.
