Planning
to head out for a Richmond Squirrels game this season? You’ve got a few ways to get in on the cheap:
- Even if you’re paying full price, at $7-$11/ticket, going to a Richmond Squirrels game is a cheap day out. But you can get freebies like fleece blankets & batting gloves if you’re one of the first people through the gate or enjoy fireworks or concerts at select games.
- If you like to eat at the ballpark, the Picnic Zone may be a good deal for you: $28 buys you a two-hour all-you-can-eat buffet located down the third baseline on the main concourse. The buffet begins an hour before the game, and you’ll get a Reserved Diamond Club seat + free access to the HCA Kid’s Zone, too.
- Sign the kids up for the free Squirrel Tails Kids’ Club. Those 14 & under will get free general-admission tickets to Sunday home games (seats can be upgraded to Diamond Club or reserved Silver Level), a free autograph party, a membership card, a newsletter, giveaways, & more. The free Sunday games include April 15 vs. Altoona, April 29 vs. New Britain, May 13 vs. Bowie, May 27 vs. Trenton, June 3 vs. Erie, June 17 vs. Portland, June 24 vs. New Britain, July 8 vs. Reading, July 22 vs. Akron, August 12 vs. Bowie, September 2 vs. Akron.
- With the “Score ‘A’ Free Ticket” program, your kids’ “A”s on 3rd- & 4th-quarter report cards = free general-admission tickets. Each “A” on your report card is good for one ticket per game: eight “A”s = eight general-admission tickets to eight different games. Bring the report card to the box office to get the deal. The free tickets are good for the student only.
- Girls ages 15+ can join Squirrels Girls. It’s $55 for General Admission & $75 for Diamond Club membership, and benefits include tickets to six games, a Squirrels Girls T-shirt, concessions coupons, gifts from Squirrels Girls sponsors, Squirrels Girls events, & more. Game dates: Tuesday, May 1 vs. Bowie Baysox; Saturday, May 26 vs. Trenton Thunder; Friday, June 22 vs. New Britain Rock Cats; Friday, July 20 vs. Akron Aeros; Monday, August 20 vs. Bowie Baysox; & Sunday, September 2 vs. Akron Aeros.
- Fans age 60+ can get a Silver Squirrels ticket deal. A $25 General Admission & $65 Diamond Club package includes tickets to nine Tuesday home games + Friday, July 6, a Silver Squirrels T-shirt, a free gift at each game attended, a merchandise discount, & more. Games include April 17 vs. Reading Phillies, May 1 vs. Bowie Baysox, May 15 vs. Harrisburg Senators, June 12 vs. New Hampshire Fisher Cats, July 6 vs. Binghamton Mets, July 17 vs. Altoona Curve, July 31 vs. Reading Phillies, August 7 vs. Harrisburg Senators, August 21 vs. Bowie Baysox, & August 28 vs. Harrisburg Senators.
- And you’ll save 20% vs. walk-up ticket pricing + get other benefits when you buy season tickets or mini-season ticket packages.
The Diamond is located at 3001 N. Boulevard, Richmond.
