2020 Ticket Policies for Impacted Games
As of 07/06/2020
On July 6, 2020, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) unveiled the 2020 MLB 60-Game Schedule. As a result, all New York Yankees home games originally scheduled to be played by MLB from April through September, 2020 have been impacted by the National Emergency caused by COVID-19 and have become “Impacted Games.” The New York Yankees offer the following options for fans with tickets to Impacted Games:
- Eligible ticket purchasers can receive a credit and 10% bonus up to a maximum of $25,000 for their Impacted Game ticket (see, details below);
- Ticket purchasers can receive the benefit of the New York Yankees’ Rain Check Policy for their Impacted Game ticket (see, details below); or
- Ticket purchasers who originally purchased their Impacted Game ticket from the New York Yankees can receive a refund equal to the established price of the Impacted Game ticket. To request a refund for an Impacted Game ticket purchased directly from the New York Yankees, please contact your New York Yankees’ representatives or email [email protected]. Ticketmaster purchasers can submit a refund request for their Impacted Game ticket via their Ticketmaster account. Any refund will only be issued via the same method of payment.

INDIVIDUAL GAME TICKET PURCHASERS
Ticketmaster.com: Fans who purchased tickets to an Impacted Game through Ticketmaster.com can submit a credit request or refund request for their Impacted Game ticket via their Ticketmaster account.
