DIGITAL TICKETING & MLB BALLPARK APP HOW TO’S

All tickets are digital and can be accessed within the MLB Ballpark app for scanning and entry at the gates. Our full digital ticketing guide will help you to sign into your Padres Account Manager as well as the MLB Ballpark app. Follow the step-by-step guides to learn how to access, transfer, exchange (Members-only!), or donate your tickets. Be sure to transfer tickets to everyone in your party before the game so everyone has their own digital ticket prior to arriving at the ballpark.

Once again, Petco Park will be utilizing Ticketmaster SafeTix and screenshots will not be accepted at the gates for entry. We recommend accessing your tickets in the MLB Ballpark app before arriving to Petco Park to ensure you have the latest version of the app and can view your ticket barcodes!

You can avoid traffic and parking by using MTS Park & Ride lots along the Trolley system. North County COASTER provides an alternative mass-transit option to get safely to the ballpark.

Padres preferred parking is available adjacent to Petco Park. Guests are strongly encouraged to pre-purchase their parking to guarantee a spot in these convenient lots. Pre-paid parking is unavailable for purchase online within 4 hours of first pitch.

Rideshare

A designated rideshare loading zone is located across the street from the Bayfront Hilton Hotel (next to the Convention Center) on Harbor Drive and Park Boulevard. We encourage fans to get dropped off and picked up at this location, and then take the pedestrian sky bridge towards Petco Park.
