Will my MLB game tickets include contactless entry?
Most MLB tickets purchased on Ticketmaster will be mobile. Mobile tickets give fans a safe, easy, convenient, and contactless way to access tickets, and get through the entrance of the venue and to their seat quickly. If your tickets are mobile, that means your phone is your ticket.
What happens to my MLB tickets if a game is rescheduled/postponed?
If a game is canceled and cannot be replayed, or if it is played under conditions that prohibit fans from attending, a full refund will be available.
Special note about tickets purchased for Major League Baseball games: All event refund, credit, and/or exchange policies for MLB games — including for canceled, postponed, rescheduled, or moved events — are subject to polices set for by the Event Organizer, and are determined on an event-by-event basis by the Event Organizer.

What do I need to know before arriving at the stadium for an MLB game?
Each baseball stadium has its own set of rules regarding what fans can and cannot bring in. It’s important to check the official website for the team whose game you’re attending before you head out to the ballpark.
How does the MLB Postseason work?
The MLB Postseason is separated between the American League and the National League until the World Series. The winner of each League Championship Series wins a pennant and a berth to compete in the World Series.

The Division Series is decided in a best-of-five tilt, and the League Championship Series and World Series are both best-of-seven.
Who won the 2023 World Series?
