Tampa Bay Rays fans looks on during Opening Day against the Detroit Tigers at Tropicana Field on March 30, 2023 in St Petersburg, Florida.
(Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)Ready for another deal? The Tampa Bay Rays are the #1 team in baseball this summer. After offering $10 seats at the beginning of the season, the Rays are still hoping to fill those empty seats at Tropicana Field. The team announced a new offer this week, but it won't last long. In fact you only have today and tomorrow to take advantage of this one. And this deal isn't for the cheap seats like that $10 special.
This new Flash Sale will get you half off seats in the lower box and lower reserved sections at The Trop for any weekday game for the rest of the regular season. So if it's a weekend game, the offer won't apply. You can buy up to 6 tickets with the discount per game. At midnight tomorrow night though, the offer expires.
A warning is issued though on the Rays official website. The team says they "reserve the right to cancel orders placed by individuals who purchase tickets with the intent to resell or exceed ticket limits."
To get the special 50% off ticket price, you'll need to use the promo code RAYSUP23 at checkout. One thing to note - you will get a digital ticket so you'll need to put that MLB Ballpark app on your phone. Paper tickets are a thing of the past at most sports and concert venues these days anyway. If you have any other questions about the deal, call 888-FAN-RAYS or you can email ticketservices@raysbaseball.com.
You would think Row 1, seat 1 would be great right? Not in this case. Seats right behind home plate at Tropicana Field are expensive. A seat in Section 103 for tonight's game starts at $300. So where should you look at The Trop seating chart when you're looking for less pricy tickets to a Tampa Bay Rays game? There really aren't that many bad places to watch. But we can tell you one seat NOT to pick. It's been deemed the WORST seat at Tropicana Field by Bookies.com.
They did a study of every Major League Baseball park to find the absolute worst seat in the house. Seats with an obstructed view and the distance from home plate were taken into consideration. They even measured how far seats are from things like concession stands and bathrooms. At Tropicana Field, they say you'll find no worse seat than the one near the left field corner in Section 129. Lucky for you Rays fans, I found it and took some photos.
So yeah maybe avoid Section 129, Row G, Seat 1. Although maybe you'll get a free souvenir. Lots of foul balls head out that way. Want to see the worst seat in the house at other Major League Baseball Parks? Head here!
First go to Section 129.
Walking halfway down, the view is already getting rough.
Head to Row G... that's the front row. You'd think a front row seat would be great right?
Then find your way to Seat 1. Row 1, Seat 1. SOUNDS good.
Geno/Q105Yikes. This is your view.
You can see the banners ok with good binoculars.
Keep in mind too this is the view BEFORE fans sitting in that pit area arrived.
One perk I guess ... if you're a fan of the visiting team, you do get an up close view of the action in their bullpen.
You may not have a great view of the action at the plate, but you can watch people eat from their plates.
The view of the roof isn't so bad.
I think we know why Ryan didn't show up now.
He might've just decided to stay home and watch on TV. Look at that big pole blocking a lot of the view of home plate.
I think Brett is laughing at you for picking these seats. The outfielders are pretty much the only ones you'll see well.
Or just spend more and get a seat behind home plate.
