The Orioles have also announced two ticket options for the AL Championship Series. Tickets will be available exclusively online. Fans are encouraged to visit www.orioles.com/postseason for a postseason seating chart, schedule and additional ticket information. Both options are for fans to purchase only ALCS tickets (ALDS tickets are sold out and a limited number of World Series tickets will be made available for sale at a later date).

Option 1: Fans will receive access to an exclusive presale by placing a minimum $250 per seat deposit on a 2015 full or partial season ticket plan, including the popular and convenient 13-game plan. Fans who place a deposit by noon on Monday, Oct. 6 will have a chance to buy ALCS tickets, and possibly tickets for other future postseason games, via an exclusive online-only presale on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m.

Option 2: A public sale for ALCS tickets will take place on Thursday, Oct. 9 at noon exclusively online at www.orioles.com/postseason. Ticket availability is expected to be extremely limited, and tickets – which will be primarily scattered single seats, limited view seating, and standing room only – will sell out quickly. A maximum of four tickets per ALCS game may be purchased.
