During what window of time can I forward tickets to friends?

You can forward tickets via the MLB Ballpark app from the moment you purchase them until two hours after the first pitch of that day's game as long as that ticket has not already been scanned in for entry at Oracle Park.

What should I do if I need to enter Oracle Park for the start of the game and the rest of my group is not here yet?

You can easily forward tickets to friends via the MLB Ballpark app up to two hours after the start of that day's game as long as the tickets have not already been scanned in for entry at Oracle Park.

You should present the ticket displayed in the MLB Ballpark app on your mobile device for entry at the gate. If you are unable to access your ticket, go to a Ticket Office window for assistance on game day. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] or 415-972-2209 (M-F, 9am-5pm).
