Dear Valued Padres Members,

The 2025 Padres season has provided exciting and memorable moments with the promise of more to come. Your enthusiastic and loyal support has resulted in record-setting season ticket membership and attendance while making Petco Park an electric environment and true homefield advantage for our players. Thank you!

We remain committed to fielding a championship-caliber team this season and beyond. At the recent trade deadline, we made our playoff-caliber team even better by adding one of MLB’s elite closers in Mason Miller, All-Star Ryan O’Hearn, Ramón Laureano, Freddy Fermin, Nestor Cortes, and JP Sears. These new additions join an already talented roster that includes five Padre All-Stars this season: Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Robert Suarez, Jason Adam, and Adrian Morejon. Our team has developed great chemistry under the leadership of Mike Shildt and is primed for the stretch run and postseason!

The excitement surrounding this year’s team and our future has resulted in further growth in the number of season ticket members. For the third consecutive year, we capped season ticket memberships and maintained a membership waitlist, which has grown consistently over the course of this season. We plan to continue to cap season ticket memberships and offer a membership waitlist for the 2026 season.

Going into this season, we increased payroll and continued to make significant investments to improve your experience at America’s #1 Ballpark. We plan to make additional impactful improvements to Petco Park this coming offseason. As a result of our continued investment in the ballpark and payroll, strong demand for Padres tickets, and significant increases in the cost of City services that the Padres must pay to operate the ballpark, members will see a moderate price increase for the 2026 season. You will also continue to receive overall savings on your tickets, up to 30% off single game ticket prices, by being a member. You will receive further information regarding your 2026 membership renewal tomorrow from our membership services team.

Through our regular member surveys, we continue to hear that exclusive member benefits are core to your experience. As a result, these benefits will continue for 2026, including access to the best seating locations, priority access to postseason and Opening Day tickets, additional discounted tickets and parking, a 10% discount at all ballpark concessions and retail locations, and early entry access to Padres batting practice.

As we push for the postseason and prepare for October baseball at Petco Park, you will receive information regarding your postseason invoice in the coming weeks. We encourage Platinum and Gold members to renew by September 15 so that they can pay for their postseason ticket strip on a round-by-round basis. Blue members will access presales on a round-by-round basis to purchase individual postseason games.

Your energetic and passionate support fuels our players and makes all the difference. We have the best fans in MLB and are grateful for you. Our goal remains to win a World Series Championship and your continued support in our push for the postseason and beyond is crucial. I thank you and invite you to return to Petco Park in 2026 to witness the next exciting chapter in Padres history.

With gratitude,

Erik Greupner
CEO
