Available seats will be tagged with pennants, and Orioles sales representatives will be stationed in each section to discuss season plan options and answer questions.

The Oriole Park center-field video board will air two showings of “The BUCKle Up Birds, An Underdog Story” at 9:15 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m. for fans to enjoy.

Season plan holders are exclusively entitled to Orange Carpet Benefits, including a significant discount on tickets and parking over single game prices, early entrance to the ballpark for batting practice at each home game, priority access to special events and more.

Tickets for plans purchased at Tag Day will be printed immediately, allowing fans to take their tickets home with them. The Orioles box office will also be open for single game ticket purchases.
