If you don’t yet have tickets and you are thinking about going to a Oakland Athletics game at the Coliseum, you have many options to get tickets from. You may be wondering if you can buy Athletics Tickets at the stadium gate on gameday?

Update: Yes, you can buy Oakland Athletics tickets at the stadium, but only as long as supplies last. That said, for reasons we discuss below, many fans choose to buy their tickets online before they go to the game. You can purchase tickets directly from the team’s website, or from online ticket brokers like StubHub or Vivid Seats. I like to use Vivid Seats because they show me what my view from the seats will look like prior to purchase.

You can also buy directly from the team by downloading the MLB Ballpark App to your mobile device. The MLB Ballpark app is MLB’s free, official app that makes it easy to access, manage, and use your tickets. 

Buying MLB tickets online can help simplify the process and remove some of the annoyances that come from buying tickets at the stadium. In this article we discuss how to buy tickets at the Oakland Coliseum, and what your other options might be.

Buying Athletics Tickets at the Stadium

Can You Buy Tickets at RingCentral Oakland Coliseum?

Yes, as we discussed earlier, you can buy Athletics tickets at the stadium, but only if there are tickets available.

It is important to understand, if you are hoping to walkup and buy tickets at the Oakland Coliseum for a game that same day, you might not have any luck.

Some Oakland Athletics home games will sellout.  Therefore, if you wait to buy tickets at the game, you could possibly be left with no ticket if the game is sold-out. Buying your tickets in advance, if possible, may be the better option.

You can buy directly from the team’s website or by downloading the MLB Ballpark App to your mobile device. The MLB Ballpark app is MLB’s free, official app that makes it easy to access, manage, and use your tickets. This is where you can learn more about the Ballpark App.

Issues with Buying Athletics Tickets at the Stadium

If you are choosing to buy Athletics tickets at the Coliseum, there are a few risks and annoyances you will want to consider.

  • Sellout – This is the big one. As we mentioned above, Athletics home games will occasionally sellout. Walking up and buying tickets at the Coliseum on game day might not always be an option. It might be best to contact the team and ask about availability prior to the game.
  • Options – You also may find that even if there are tickets left for purchase that you don’t like any of the available seats or prices, especially if you are going to the game with a group of people. Buying online allows you to browse before you go, and find something that works for you. 

Best Online Site for Athletics Tickets

Buying from the team, if possible, is always the best option. But some fans like to use online ticket brokers like StubHub and Vivid Seats, which give you access to re-sold fan-to-fan tickets.

Buying tickets online can be a bit scary when it comes to giving out your information, which is why Vivid Seats has their 100% Buyer Guarantee program. The program is designed to give you security and peace of mind when you are buying tickets online. Here is all that comes with the 100% Buyers Guarantee program:

  • Hassle Free Customer Service
  • Private and Secure transaction (no selling or sharing your information to brokers)
  • Tickets Delivered before the Event Guaranteed or Money Back
  • Valid and Authentic Tickets or money back
  • Accurate Order Guarantee (your tickets will be identical, comparable, or better than your order or money back)
  • Money Back Guarantee for Cancelled Events

Not only do they make sure you are satisfied and your transactions are secure, but they also have a very user-friendly platform. When you go to purchase tickets, they show you exactly where the seats are on the stadium map. They also give you an actual picture view from those seats.

Vivid Seats Loyalty Program

As mentioned, Vivid Seats has a great loyalty program. Depending on how much you spend, you can earn up to 9% cash back on any purchase you make with them. Not only do you get an incredible 9% cash back if you reach “HOF” status, you will also get access to special VIP events and other additional perks. You can see more details here.

The difference between buying from Vivid Seats versus buying directly from the team is Vivid Seats is a secondary ticket marketplace, meaning fan-to-fan. As mentioned, usually online ticket brokers like Vivid Seats will have a lot more tickets available and options to choose from.

There are, of course, other fan-to-fan ticket sites out there besides Vivid Seats that will also work just fine (like Ticketmaster). But I like to use Vivid Seats to take advantage of their 100% Buyer Guarantee and loyalty program. Click here to browse through Athletics tickets on Vivid Seats to see what seats are available, and what prices (affiliate link takes you to VividSeats.com).

General Oakland Coliseum Information

The Oakland Coliseum is one of the most famous stadiums in the United States for its history as both a football and baseball ballpark. It has been the home of the Oakland Athletics since 1968, when they moved from Kansas City to Oakland.

The Raiders were the first to call the Coliseum home when they started playing there in 1966. The Raiders have since moved to Las Vegas, so it is just the home of the A’s. When the Raiders were playing there, it was very common to see parts of the playing field be dirt, which was kept for the A’s infield.
