Padres Rainout Policy

A rainout occurs when the game is called due to inclement weather before it becomes an official game.

A delayed game means that the game is stopped but may continue when there is a break in the weather.

A cancelled game is one that is stopped and not rescheduled.

A postponed game refers to a game that (i) is either stopped before it becomes official or never begins and (ii) is rescheduled for another time in whole or part.

A game becomes official after 4 ½ innings of play (if the home team is ahead) or 5 full innings of play (if the home team is behind or if the game is tied). An official game will not be rescheduled.

If a scheduled game has been postponed due to inclement weather or other factors, or has been called off prior to becoming an official game, then the following policies and procedures with respect to tickets are activated. A ticket for a game that has been postponed or rained out becomes a rain check.

In many instances, inclement weather does not result in cancellation or postponement of a game. However, games may be delayed during harsh weather or called off after they are declared official (see above for definition). When these situations occur, there are no refunds or exchanges available, even if fans decide to leave the game due to uncomfortable conditions.

Season Tickets automatically become rain checks in the event a game is postponed due to rain.

If a postponed game is rescheduled on its own date or as part of a split doubleheader event (in which guests must have a separate ticket to each game), the Season Tickets (rain checks) will be valid for the same seats for the rescheduled game. Present the rain check for admission on the new date. If a season ticket member cannot attend the rescheduled game, the regular season exchange benefit may be used with the rain check.

In the event that the game is cancelled or postponed and rescheduled as part of a single ticket doubleheader event (in which guests can attend both games of the doubleheader on the same ticket), the Padres will automatically credit the season ticket member’s account for the paid value of the tickets for the cancelled or postponed or rained out game. Season ticket members do not need to take any action for reimbursement.

The following policy applies for single game tickets purchased directly from the Padres over the phone (619 795-5555), at the Padres Box Office, or via www.padres.com.

If a postponed game is rescheduled on its own date or as part of a split doubleheader event (in which guests must have a separate ticket to each game), the tickets (rain checks) will be valid for the same seats for the rescheduled game. Present the rain check for admission on the new date. There are no refunds however, tickets may be exchanged prior to the rescheduled game via www.padres.com/MyTickets for any remaining game during the corresponding regular season, subject to availability.

In the event that the game is cancelled or postponed and rescheduled as part of a single ticket doubleheader event (in which guests can attend both games of the doubleheader on the same ticket), the tickets can be exchanged via www.Padres.com/MyTickets beginning the day after the rescheduled game and ending 10 days after the cancelled game or rainout, for any remaining game during the corresponding regular season, subject to availability. Rain checks not presented for exchange within the 10-day period are not eligible for exchange.

There are no refunds.

If a postponed game is rescheduled on its own date or as part of a split doubleheader event (in which guests must have a separate ticket to each game), the tickets (rain checks) will be valid for the same seats for the rescheduled game. Present the rain check for admission on the new date.

If a group cannot attend the rescheduled game, the main Account Holder may exchange them for another 2026 regular season game, subject to price and availability. Tickets must be exchanged prior to the start of the rescheduled game. To exchange, the main Account Holder must contact their Padres Representative or a member of the Padres Sales staff to finalize the new date and location. Tickets cannot be exchanged at the Padres Box Office or online.

Should the game be rained out after your food and beverage package has been made available, you will not receive a refund or credit for any portion of the food and beverage package.

There are no refunds.

Complimentary and donation tickets have no value and cannot be exchanged.

Fans who purchased from other channels, including any online resale marketplaces, should return to their point of purchase and refer to their refund and exchange policies.
