SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Padres announced today the Freedom Reserve Section presented by Budweiser, a special ticket offer for active duty military members and their families, available for every Padres home game from July 27 through the remainder of the season. Tickets will be available for Monday through Thursday home games for $5 and $10 for Friday through Sunday home games with verification through GovX or by showing valid identification at the Padres Advance Ticket Windows at Petco Park.
The Padres created the Freedom Reserve Section to provide an affordable ticket option for active duty military and their families. Included in this special offer for all active duty military is access to a suite adjacent to the designated seating section, provided through the Padres partnership with the USO-San Diego.The Freedom Reserve Section will commence with an event hosted by the Padres and the USO at Naval Air Station North Island for Navy Midshipmen, which includes a BBQ on the base, transportation on the FOX Sports Fan Express bus and an evening at the Padres game.
In addition to the Freedom Reserve Section, the Padres, USAA and GovX will continue to offer special pricing on tickets to military members and their families as a thank you for their service. Active duty, reserve, retired military, veterans and their families have access to the Padres Military Appreciation discount available for all seating areas with 50 percent off Sunday home games and 25 percent off all other home games with verification through GovX and at the Padres Advance Ticket Windows at Petco Park.
As part of the Padres longstanding commitment to supporting the military, every Sunday home game is Military Appreciation Day, where the Padres honor San Diego's service members, veterans and their families. Each branch of the armed forces is recognized during a dedicated Sunday home game at Petco Park in addition to special salutes for military kids, spouses and families. The Padres and USAA continue the tradition of hosting graduating classes from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego as part of Marine Recruit Sundays. Military members can also hold their reenlistment ceremonies on the Petco Park field before a Padres game, and fans can purchase Padres military logo merchandise at the Padres '47 Brand Team Store, with a portion of all sales benefiting a San Diego non-profit organization focused on supporting the military community. Also, new in 2018, a $1 donation will be made to Folds of Honor for any Freedom Reserve beer purchase. Additionally, a $1 donation will also be made for any Anheuser Busch product purchased during Sunday home games from designated beer hawkers. Folds of Honor is an organization that provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen and disabled service members.
