Tickets limited for each bus, can be added to ticket purchase for $5
Tickets for Tribe Park and Ride, which are extremely limited in quantity for each game and each location, are $5 with the purchase of a ticket at Indians.com, the Progressive Field Box Office or Indians Team Shops.
The buses will load 90 minutes before first pitch and leave each respective location 75 minutes before first pitch. Post-game, buses will depart 20 minutes after the final out or the completion of the fireworks display, on Ontario Street near the Indians Team Shop.
“One of our commitments is to make the fans the focus of our actions,” said Indians President MARK SHAPIRO. “Our main goal is to provide convenience and value to our fans so they’re able to have memorable experiences at Progressive Field.
“In all our market research, one of the significant barriers to entry into Downtown Cleveland and Progressive Field has been access to transportation. There are many safe, reliable and cost-effective means to get to our ballpark.”
Tribe Park and Ride joins the Indians free Ohio City shuttle as alternative transportation options the team is offering fans. The Ohio City shuttle runs when the Indians play at Progressive Field on Thursday nights, Fridays and Saturdays.
The shuttle operates from one hour before and until one hour after each of those games, and picks up fans at the corner of West 25th Street and Market Avenue near the West Side Market.
