Getting Started & Verifying Ticketing and Loyalty Accounts

Accessing the MLB Ballpark app

The MLB Ballpark app can be downloaded directly from the App Store on Apple devices or Google Play on Android devices. Accessing content in the MLB Ballpark app requires an MLB or a Club.com (e.g., Mets.com) account. If you do not have an existing account, you can create a new account during initial app login.

MLB Ballpark app Digital Ticketing

The MLB Ballpark app's digital ticketing features allow you to purchase new tickets, present existing tickets at the ballpark for entry, and forward tickets to friends and family, or receive tickets. These features can be found in the "Tickets" tab, "Wallet" section or on the "Home" tab for upcoming games. For additional information on how to set up and use the new MLB Ballpark app digital ticketing features, please refer to the "MLB Ballpark Digital Ticketing" section below.

For any "Wallet," account, tickets, or related support inquiries, please utilize the MLB Ballpark app Digital Assistant for step-by-step assistance.

Club Loyalty Programs

If you are a member of a participating Club's loyalty program, you can access that program by navigating to the Team tab and tapping on your team's Loyalty program module. The location of this module card may differ from Club to Club based on how that Club has configured its Team tab.

If you are signed in with your MLB/Club.com account associated with the Loyalty program, you will be taken to a digital membership card, where you can view your account information, benefits, and stored value (eCash, if applicable). If your accounts are not successfully linked, you will be provided with Club-specific contact information for assistance. For inquiries about Club Loyalty program usage, your account, reward points, or stored value (eCash), please review the specific information for the Club.

Verifying Accounts and Accessing Tickets

Why verify my email?

In order to access and manage tickets in the MLB Ballpark app, fans must verify their email, regardless of whether the tickets were purchased or received through a ticket forward. By verifying your email you confirm ownership of the MLB account and associated tickets.

How do I verify my email?

  1. Fans need to login with an MLB account the first time they open the MLB Ballpark app. If you don't have an existing MLB account, you can create one as part of the initial onboarding process.
  2. Fans who view the "Home" or "Tickets" tabs without a verified account will be prompted to "Please verify your email address or refresh your tickets".
  3. Fans can request a verification email be sent to verify their MLB account OR add an email address under "Profile" and "My MLB Account Emails" to link the email associated with their tickets. All MLB Account Emails must be verified in order to access tickets associated with that email.
  4. Upon requesting a verification email, an email will be sent to that address asking you to verify that address by tapping on a one-time link.

How can I remove a verified account?

During the verification process, if you've added an incorrect email address OR would like to remove a secondary account that you've previously linked, you can do so within the app.

  1. Go to the "Home" tab in the bottom navigation bar, and click on the avatar icon or your initials in the upper left-hand corner to go to your "Profile."
  2. Click on "My MLB Email Account Emails," where you can see any emails that are linked and their verification status.
  3. Tap on "Remove", which will unlock all verified emails with a minus button next to each.
  4. Tap on the minus icon next to the email address(es) you wish to remove.
  5. Confirm that you want to remove the account by tapping the "Remove" button at the right of the email address.

Important Note: While you can remove secondary email addresses, users cannot remove their primary email address (the one used to login to the MLB Ballpark app).

How do I access my tickets?

Accepting a Ticket Forward
  1. If you received your ticket(s) as the result of a ticket forward from another fan, you will be notified directly by email or you will receive a share link where you can accept tickets from the sender.
    1. If you already have the MLB Ballpark app,
      • For email forwards, if your email that was used to receive your forwarded ticket(s) is verified, your ticket(s) will automatically be accepted and accessible via the MLB Ballpark app.
      • For SMS share links, you will need to tap the link, which will open the MLB Ballpark app, where your ticket(s) will automatically be accepted and accessible.
    2. If you do not already have the MLB Ballpark app downloaded,
      • For email forwards, clicking "Accept Tickets" will take you to an MLB.com ticket acceptance page, where you can either accept or reject the ticket(s).

Scanning a Ticket at the Ballpark

Quickly access your tickets in the MLB Ballpark app via the "Home" tab for your next upcoming game by tapping "Open Tickets", which will take you directly to your ticket barcode(s) so you can quickly scan to enter at entrance gates. If you have more than one ticket, this view will default to your first ticket, and you can swipe left to view additional tickets in the carousel. You will need to scan each ticket on your device at the gate or else digitally forward additional tickets to others in your party.

At select Clubs, if you have added your ticket(s) to Apple Wallet, you can use NFC (near-field communication) to tap and go for entry into the ballpark. If you have more than one ticket, this view will default to the first ticket, and you can swipe left to view and tap additional tickets in the carousel. You will need to tap each ticket on your device at the gate or else digitally forward additional tickets to others in your party.

You can also access your tickets from the "Tickets" tab, "Wallet" section. Simply tap on the Event card or click "Open Tickets", which will display a list of your tickets. From the list view, tap "Open" to see the "Scan View" of your ticket for display at ballpark entrance gates. This view will display your event information, seating information, and account information. If you have multiple tickets or parking passes, you can swipe through them in "Scan View". You will need to scan each ticket on your device at the gate or else digitally forward additional tickets to others in your party.

If you need additional assistance, please refer to the Verifying Accounts and Accessing Tickets section.

Forwarding and Receiving a Ticket

Click the "Forward Tickets" button at the bottom of the screen, which will enable you to select the ticket(s) you wish to transfer to someone else.

NOTE: Not all tickets are eligible for forwarding; if not eligible, the option to Forward Tickets will not be available, as the "Forward Tickets" button will not be displayed.

  2. Tap the "Forward Tickets" button and choose your delivery method.

The ticket will be moved into a "Forward Pending" state until the ticket is accepted.

If you are the original ticket purchaser, you can revoke the ticket forward at any time up until the ticket is scanned for entry. However, if you received the ticket as the result of a forward, you can revoke subsequent ticket forwards at any time up until the ticket is scanned for entry, provided that the forward recipient does not forward the ticket to someone else. The original ticket purchaser, however, retains perpetual rights to revoke the ticket back to him/herself, regardless of whether it has been subsequently forwarded, up until the ticket is scanned for entry.

To see the current status of all of your tickets, go to the "Wallet" section of the "Tickets" tab and tap on the Event card to see the status of forwarded tickets, e.g., when pending or accepted by the recipient. You can also cancel a pending Forward by clicking on "Cancel" to the right of the ticket, or you can recall an accepted ticket by clicking on "Recall" to the right of the ticket.

To track all of your sent and received forwards, go to the "Tickets" tab and tap on the ticket forward icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. From here, you can click on the down chevron icon to toggle between teams. Click into an event to see ticket details, including the date received, date accepted, and current status, e.g., Revoked.
