2025 Season: Know Before you Go

Below is a complete guide to everything you need to know as you prepare to come to Petco Park.

All tickets are digital and can be accessed within the MLB Ballpark app for scanning and entry at the gates. Our full digital ticketing guide will help you to sign into your Padres Account Manager as well as the MLB Ballpark app. Follow the step-by-step guides to learn how to access, transfer, exchange (Members-only!), or donate your tickets. Be sure to transfer tickets to everyone in your party before the game so everyone has their own digital ticket prior to arriving at the ballpark.

Once again, Petco Park will be utilizing Ticketmaster SafeTix and screenshots will not be accepted at the gates for entry. We recommend accessing your tickets in the MLB Ballpark app before arriving to Petco Park to ensure you have the latest version of the app and can view your ticket barcodes! If you have an iPhone and do not have iOS16 or higher, you can access your tickets via Account Manager from a web browser on your mobile device. Additionally, we recommend saving your tickets to your device’s digital wallet in case you have connectivity issues when you arrive at Petco Park.

Over the past few days there have been instances of account holders experiencing unusual activity on their MLB.com account. In light of this, MLB has reset the password of some accounts out of an abundance of caution. Ahead of your upcoming game at Petco Park, we encourage you to review your account and ensure all tickets appear as expected within the app before you arrive at Petco Park. If you can already access your tickets in the Ballpark app, no action is required. If you cannot access the Ballpark app or your tickets, please take the following steps to reset your MLB password and view your tickets:

Reset MLB Account Password:

1. Reset your MLB account password here.
2. Enter the e-mail address associated with your account and click "reset my password."
3. Log out of your account and re-log in with your new password on any/all devices.
4. We encourage you to use a new, original password that you haven't used anywhere else. You will not be able to use a password you have previously used on your account.

If you experience difficulties accessing your account, please contact MLB Customer Service.

Petco Park will prohibit bags, except for clutches and purses no larger than 5” X 7”, single-compartment clear plastic bags not exceeding 12” X 6” X 12”, or infant and medical bags.

Padres preferred parking is available adjacent to Petco Park. Guests are strongly encouraged to pre-purchase their parking to guarantee a spot in these convenient lots. Pre-paid parking is unavailable for purchase online within 4 hours of first pitch.

Rideshare

A designated rideshare loading zone is located across the street from the Bayfront Hilton Hotel (next to the Convention Center) on Harbor Drive and Park Boulevard. We encourage fans to get dropped off and picked up at this location, and then take the pedestrian sky bridge towards Petco Park.
