How to Find Dodgers Tickets

Matt A. Maxx
Did your boss just tap you on the shoulder and ask you to pick up a couple of Dodger tickets for him on your lunch hour? Don't panic. There are lots of us out here who have had to go figure out how to buy Dodger tickets quickly. The process isn't really that hard after you understand how the ticketing systems work.

Dodger Stadium is the home of the Dodgers. This is the first place that you go to try to buy your Dodger tickets. Their site takes a little time to load, when it is done, look up in the upper right corner area for a link into tickets. Once the ticket page loads onto your screen, go through the left list until you find the pricing and seating link.

When buying your tickets from Dodger Stadium, you will be paying the amounts listed for your choice of seating on their map. If Dodger Stadium is out of your choice of tickets, you will be paying higher than this amount for your choice of seating. It is a good idea to print the information on this page so that you have it to refer to if you need to find your tickets though another vendor. Click here to get to Dodger Stadium online.

StubHub is the next ticket source that you try to buy your Dodgers tickets from. StubHub is the Dodgers approved and advertised second choice source for tickets. Fans that have Dodger tickets that they can not use are also encouraged to sell them through StubHub. StubHub is an eBay company, so you will be able to buy tickets using eBay company PayPal online services if you would like to do that.

StubHub does not own the tickets that you buy from their site; this is a fan-to-fan ticket sales site where the seller sets the price for his tickets. You go through their online ads until you find the tickets that you want. When you buy tickets, StubHub will charge you 10% of what the sale price is for using their services. Your tickets then come with a money back guarantee from StubHub. Click here to visit the StubHub ticket sales site.

Ticket Brokers are legitimate Dodger ticket sales places that put ticket holders who can't use their tickets in contact with people who would like to buy the tickets. There are many of these places online. Find a good one by looking for: 1. Ticket authenticity guarantee. 2. A customer service department with a phone number. 3. A money back guarantee. 4. That has a BBB or comparable business report available to read prior to sale. 5. Secured payment options. 6. Guaranteed shipping dates.

Check California Newspapers for other options on finding Dodgers tickets if you are bombing-out online. Many of the season ticket holders live in Southern California and they will try to sell unused seats in local newspaper offerings to their close neighbors. You want to find newspapers in Los Angeles county, Riverside county, San Bernardino county, or Ventura County.

When buying tickets this way, you will want to arrange for personal pick-up in person or through a courier or messenger service so that the tickets can be checked for authenticity prior to money changing hands. Click on newspapers names below to reach their web-site for further information.

Los Angeles county newspapers include: Los Angeles Times - Area Guides List of Smaller Papers & Southern California Nifty Nickel.

Riverside county newspapers include: Area Guides List of Riverside County Newspapers.

San Bernardino county newspapers include: The Sun & Area Guides List of Smaller Papers.

Ventura county newspapers include: Ventura County Star.

Last resorts to try for Dodger tickets if you have not had any luck at Dodger Stadium, nor with StubHub, ticket brokers, or any local newspapers... Try the eBay and Craigslist online sites. These are your last resorts because some try to sell fake tickets on these sites and you must be very careful about who you are dealing with.

Another suggestion that you may want to try at this point is to enter any contests that you can find for tickets. Some are normally hosted for hard-to-get tickets on Southern California radio stations and through local charity organization raffle sales. Contacting California Chamber of Commerce offices by phone may also lead to further suggestions on who is giving away Dodger tickets in a contest.
