Here’s how to buy Orioles playoff tickets, with a deadline for today and when they can play – Twin Cities

Although the Orioles have clinched a playoff spot, it is not yet clear when they will play at Camden Yards during the postseason, or who they will play against.

Currently, you’ll either need to be a season ticket holder or commit to becoming one by the end of Tuesday to get tickets to the playoffs.

Those with season ticket packages for the 2023 season should have already received information on how to obtain their playoff passes. Diamond and Black level ticket holders had to either pay for their membership in full or make a partial payment by September 15 to gain access.

Those with the most cost-effective membership packages, Reserved Orange and Flex Birdland members, should receive an email early this week with a date and time to purchase single-game playoff tickets. Orange members will receive one game per series, as will Rookie and Pro Flex members. Veteran and Gold Glove members will get up to two games, while All-Star and MVP Flex members can get tickets to any possible home game.

If you don’t follow any of these plans, you can still get playoff tickets right now. The catch: you’ll have to pay a deposit for a 2024 subscription package. And you’ll have to do it by the end of Tuesday.

Otherwise, you will have to wait until tickets go on sale to the general public. The last time the Orioles made the playoffs, the public sale took place on September 29, 2016.

When the Orioles play and who they face in the postseason depends on how the next few weeks go. While the Orioles lead the American League East, the Tampa Bay Rays could overtake them in the remaining regular season games, which would relegate the Orioles to a wild-card spot.

The first part of the playoffs – October 3, 4 and 5 – will consist of wild-card round games between the three American League wild-card teams and the division champion with the worst record.

If Baltimore comes in first in the AL East, it will bypass this round, as the division champions with the two best records will be exempt. It’s impossible for the Orioles to have the third-best record in an AL division champion, like the current AL Central leader – the Minnesota Twins – can’t surpass Baltimore’s win-loss percentage in their final regular season games.

If the Rays overtake them for the AL East title and the Orioles end up in the wild-card series, the Orioles will only maintain home-field advantage if they maintain the highest win-loss percentage aside from the three division champions.

The American League Division Series – October 7, 8, 10 and possibly 11 and 13 – will be a best-of-five series between two sets based on the results of the wild-card series. The top two division champions from the regular season – which the Orioles have a chance to win – will play at home for games one, two and five.

During the AL Championships – October 15, 16, 18, 19 and possibly October 20, 22 and 23 – the higher-ranked team will get home team advantage in four of the possible seven games. And the World Series, a best-of-seven series on Oct. 27, 28, 30 and 31 with possible games on Nov. 1, 3 and 4, will be hosted by the team with the best regular-season record.
