Padres 2023 Tickets Guide
The Padres took a big step forward in 2022, winning ten more games than they did the year before. Unfortunately, they lost star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. to a PEDs suspension, and the season didn't end the way they hoped.
After adding Xander Bogaerts in free agency, San Diego feels that this is the year they can break through. The fans and bookmakers seem to agree. Padres tickets for 2023 are the 8th most popular baseball ticket on RateYourseats.com to start the year, and BetMGM has the Friars with the 5th-best World Series odds.

How Much are Padres Tickets?
2023 Ticket Prices
In August the Padres announced a significant (18%) increase in the cost of renewing season tickets. After holding prices flat for more than a half-decade, this is the second consecutive year of box office price increases.
Ticket prices on the secondary market also rose at the end of the 2022 season. At one point in August, Padres tickets were the most expensive MLB ticket.
Get-in prices have softened at the beginning of 2023, but are expected to rise as the season approaches.
Cheap Padres Tickets
A few games on the Padres schedule are more affordable than others. This is usually dictated by the opponent and the day of week.
Early-season games against the D'backs, Reds and Royals are among the cheapest games all season. These matchups are all being held during the week.
Another option for cheap Padres tickets is to look at Wednesday afternoon games. There are eight of these at PETCO Park in 2023.
Key Series in 2023
All Padres fans are circling the two Dodgers series on the 2023 schedule - and for good reason. The Dodgers have 11 division titles since the Padres last won one.
Outside of battles in the N.L. West, the Padres will see more of the A.L. at PETCO Park. Starting June 6th, San Diego hosts three straight series with playoff teams from the American League.
Here are the hottest Padres matchups and tickets for 2023:
Rockies vs. Padres - Mar 30 - Apr 2
The Padres open up the 2023 season with winnable games against the Rockies. With division games at a premium this year, it's paramount the team gets off to a fast start against the N.L. West.
Opening Day ticket prices are easily the most expensive of the Padres home schedule.
Red Sox vs. Padres - May 19-21
Geographically, the Red Sox and Padres are about as far away from each other as two MLB teams can get.
So, while we don't expect a big rivalry between the teams to develop anytime soon, this year's series has an added storyline: Xander Bogaerts will be playing against the team he spent ten years with.

Tickets in Gallagher Square are also a good option for fans looking to get in the park. This is a general admission area with limited views of the field.
