After verifying the association you will be able to access and manage all tickets associated with your secondary email address.

My email address is verified, I see a ticket account number in the Ticket Accounts page. Why aren't my tickets showing up in the MLB Ballpark app?

After you've confirmed that the tickets were purchased with an email address that is verified on the My MLB Account Emails page (accessible by tapping the Profile icon in the top left hand corner of the Home Tab and then tapping My MLB Account Emails) and that your Orioles ticket account is displaying on the Ticket Accounts page, you may need to refresh your Tickets tabā€™s Wallet by pulling down on the screen to see updated ticket inventory.

Ticket Wallet

What is the Ticket Wallet?

The Ticket Tabā€™s Wallet provides you with quick access and management of all of your MLB tickets. After downloading the MLB Ballpark app, click the Tickets icon on the bottom tab to see all of the tickets you own.

Can I see all my tickets for all teams within the Wallet, or just one team at a time?

You will be able to access your tickets to any MLB teamā€™s game or event as long as you used the same MLB account or email address to purchase the tickets.

Where can I see more event details about the game?

In the team page accessed via the bottom tab bar, you can find detailed information about the day's event.

What if I cannot find tickets I purchased or tickets that were forwarded to me?

First confirm that the tickets were purchased with an email address that is verified on the My MLB Account Emails page which is accessible by tapping the Profile icon in the top left hand corner of the Home Tab and then tapping My MLB Account Emails.

Next, confirm that an Orioles ticket account is displaying on the My Ticket Accounts page. If there is not an Orioles ticket account listed, and youā€™re certain that the email address you have verified in MLB Account is correct then please contact Orioles Fan Services at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473).

Note that you may need to refresh your Tickets tab by pulling down on the screen to see updated ticket inventory. If your Orioles tickets were originally forwarded to you by another MLB Ballpark app user, the original sender may have canceled the forward and you should check with the person who sent you the tickets. If you are still having difficulty locating mobile tickets you believe should be appearing in your Tickets tab, contact Orioles Fan Services at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473).

Which types of tickets will be displayed in the MLB Ballpark app?

The MLB Ballpark app displays regular season, Postseason, Spring Training and other event tickets within the Wallet. Tickets that you have forwarded to friends will not show a barcode. There will be a message that the ticket has been forwarded with a cancel button in place of the barcode.

Will large group tickets with 15 or more tickets be listed in the Wallet in the MLB Ballpark app?

Yes. See Orioles.com/Groups for additional group ticket information.

When will the tickets I purchase be listed in the Wallet of the MLB Ballpark app?

Once Orioles tickets are purchased via an exclusive presale or the general on-sale, your tickets will automatically appear in the Wallet within the MLB Ballpark app.

Can I still print my Orioles tickets at home?

No, to improve security and reduce the risk of ticket fraud, print-at-home tickets in any form are no longer accepted for entry at Oriole Park.

Mobile Ticket Barcode

What is a Mobile Ticket Barcode?

Each ticket has a mobile ticket barcode that must be scanned for entry into Oriole Park via your mobile device. Within the Wallet, you can tap on an individual ticket to view its barcode. For entry to Oriole Park, present your mobile device with the mobile barcode open and available to scan.

How do I access the ticket to scan for entry?

Tap on an individual ticket from the Wallet to pull up the mobile ticket barcode. The Section/Row/Seat and barcode will be displayed along with access to the terms and conditions governing your ticket.

Why is my ticket barcode not showing in the MLB Ballpark app?

There are several reasons why your barcode may not be available including that the ticket has been forwarded, the ticket had been forwarded to you and has since been canceled or recalled, or you are a group or premier buyer and the ticket status has changed. For mailed tickets, the ticket barcode will not appear until those tickets have been printed and mailed to you.

For further assistance, contact Orioles Fan Services at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473) for assistance.

I just forwarded a ticket via the MLB Ballpark app. Why do I still see it?

Your ticket, without the barcode, will remain in your Wallet until your forward is accepted by the recipient. If you wish to cancel the forward, you can do that directly from the ticket.

During what window of time can I forward tickets to friends?

You can forward tickets via the MLB Ballpark app from the moment you purchase them until two hours after the first pitch of that day's game as long as that ticket has not already been scanned in for entry at Oriole Park.

What should I do if I need to enter Oriole Park for the start of the game and the rest of my group is not here yet?

You can easily forward tickets to friends via the MLB Ballpark app up to two hours after the start of that day's game as long as the tickets have not already been scanned in for entry at Oriole Park.

Can I use a screenshot of my ticket?

No, screenshots of tickets will not be accepted for entry to Orioles games at Oriole Park. Tickets purchased directly from the Orioles must be presented within the MLB Ballpark app. Fans may be asked to "refresh" their ticket in the MLB Ballpark app in order to prove it is valid. Copies of barcodes presented through other third-party applications, screenshots or print-outs will not be accepted at Oriole Park.

Can I use Apple Wallet for my Orioles tickets?

Yes. From the bottom of the ticket inside the MLB Ballpark app you can tap the ā€œAdd to Walletā€ button to add your ticket to Apple Wallet.

Can I use Google Pay for my Orioles tickets?

No. Support for adding tickets to Google Pay is not yet available from the MLB Ballpark app.

Why won't my ticket barcode scan?

If your screen brightness is too low, the barcode may have difficulty being scanned. The MLB Ballpark app will automatically attempt to increase the brightness of your display or you can do so manually by following the instructions for your device. Please note, cracked screens may impact your barcode's ability to scan. The barcode displayed is accompanied by a number. If there are difficulties reading a valid barcode on a digital ticket displayed within the MLB Ballpark app, visit the Oriole Park Ticket Office.

What if I lose connectivity after I've retrieved my tickets?

As long as you have previously viewed your tickets, you will still be able to view your tickets in the MLB Ballpark app even with low connectivity. We recommend viewing and loading your tickets prior to arriving at Oriole Park or adding to your Apple Wallet to ensure they are accessible regardless of connectivity.

If I access my tickets from the MLB Ballpark app, can I still have them printed at a Box Office window?

Since tickets retrieved within the MLB Ballpark app are considered printed, your tickets will not be available for pickup at the Box Office. You should present the ticket displayed in the MLB Ballpark app on your mobile device for entry at the gates. If you are unable to access your ticket, go to a Ticket Office window for assistance on game day. You may be charged a small per ticket fee if it is determined that your tickets need to be reprinted. If you have any questions, please contact Orioles Fan Services at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473).

What do I do if my mobile device's battery dies?

Visit the nearest Oriole Park Ticket Office window for assistance.

Protect the Barcode

MLB has launched Protect the Barcode technology at Oriole Park, updating the digital barcode displayed on your ticket from a static one to a rotating one that cannot be duplicated. Ensure that youā€™ve got the most recent version of the Ballpark App on your mobile device, so that you can benefit from having this new, secure technology! The new, rotating barcode ensures that you have a genuine ticket and that you wonā€™t have any issues entering the stadium on game days. Active tickets will have moving baseballs next to your barcode so know that you are good to go!

Tickets forwarded through the Ballpark app are protected, as well. Just make sure that you donā€™t send your friends and family a ticket screenshot because screenshots of Ballpark app digital tickets will no longer be accepted as a valid method of entry into the stadium.

How do I access my new rotational barcode ticket?

The same way you always have! Ensure you are logged in with your MLB account on the MLB Ballpark app, using the same email address you used to purchase or receive the tickets. Once your ticket is loaded into the app, you will be all set!

How do I know if I have a rotating barcode for my ticket?

In the MLB Ballpark app, you will see baseballs moving up and down on each side of your ticket barcode.

How should I prepare to ensure my ticket is ready prior to arriving at the stadium?

Just like always, we encourage you to have the newest version of the Ballpark app downloaded, and that you have viewed your tickets in the app at least once prior to heading to the stadium.

Why are screenshots no longer accepted?

We are ensuring that your ticket is unique and not a duplicate. This technology has also been put in place to protect you from counterfeiting and fraud, and to give you confidence that your ticket is genuine.

What if I bought my ticket from a reseller or broker? Will my ticket still be accepted?

If you bought your ticket from a ticket reseller and plan to use their app to show your ticket, then your ticket will be accepted. However, if your seller only provided you a screenshot, then you should reach out to ensure you receive a genuine, forwarded digital ticket. SeatGeek is now the ofļ¬cial resale partner of MLB - for more information, please visit orioles.com/seatgeek.

What happens if the only ticket I have is a screenshot that was sent to me?

You should reach out to whomever sold or sent you the screenshot to ask them to forward the digital ticket to you in the Ballpark app. If the seller did not provide their contact information, please contact the resellerā€™s customer service department.

Can I still load my ticket into Apple Wallet?

Yes! Loading your ticket into Apple Wallet will work for your entry into the stadium.

Ticket Forwarding

What is Ticket Forwarding?

The MLB Ballpark app allows you to easily forward tickets to family, friends, colleagues, account partners and others with whom you wish to share your tickets so that they can use their ticket on their personal phone.

How do I forward a ticket?

From the Tickets tabā€™s Wallet tap on a game to access a list of your tickets. At the bottom of the list tap "Forward Ticket". Select the ticket(s) you wish to forward then choose "Select From Contacts", "Via Email", or ā€œShare Linkā€™. Selecting "Forward Ticket" again prompts you to enter an email address or choose a friend from your Address Book. You can then add the recipient's name (optional) and a message (optional) before tapping "Send" to complete the forward. If you wish to send by another method, you can tap "Share Link" which will provide you a unique link to share. You can also quickly send tickets to friends youā€™ve forwarded to recently by tapping on their email!

Will the MLB Ballpark app automatically link to the contacts that exist in My Orioles Tickets?

No. At this time, "My Orioles Tickets" contacts will not automatically link to the MLB Ballpark app. However, the MLB Ballpark app will automatically link to the address book and contacts in your mobile device.

How does Forwarding a Ticket via ā€œShare Linkā€ work?

A unique link, which holds the key to your ticket, will be generated and you can distribute it as you see fit. Please only share this link with one person to whom you are forwarding your ticket. If you share the link with multiple recipients, whomever clicks that link and completes the "forward accept" process first will get that ticket.

What if I accidentally send the ticket to the wrong email address?

You can easily cancel a ticket forward that is in a pending state directly from your list of tickets inside the Wallet. You can then resend the ticket to the correct email address.

How will my recipient know I forwarded tickets?

Both you and the recipient will receive an email that notifies that the ticket forward has been initiated. The recipient will have a unique link in the email to accept the ticket. If you selected "Share Link," the recipient will receive the notification by whatever method you selected for delivering the link.

How do I accept a ticket forward?

You must click "Accept" from the email invitation you received. If you do not already have the MLB Ballpark app on your supported iOS or Android device, you will be prompted to download the app.

I do not have a supported iOS or Android device. Can I still accept a ticket forward?

Yes, you can accept and receive your tickets in a standard web browser. Once a ticket forward has been accepted, contact Orioles Fan Services at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473).

What if the email address where I received the ticket forward is not the same as the email address associated with my MLB account?

The email address at which you received your tickets does not need to match the email address associated with your MLB account, but you will be required to click the link in the email where the ticket was forwarded to.

Can I reject a ticket forward?

Yes, just click, "I do not want to accept this ticket" on the Ticket Accept webpage. This webpage is accessible only from the ticket forward email sent to the recipient. The sender of the ticket forward will be informed that the invitation was rejected and will continue to have access to the ticket in their MLB Ballpark app.

If I receive a forwarded ticket, can I re-forward that ticket to another recipient?

Yes, a ticket can be forwarded again. Each time a ticket is forwarded, the two participants, the sender and the recipient, will receive a notification of this transaction.

Can I cancel an Orioles ticket forward?

Yes, the sender can cancel a ticket forward any time before the barcode has been scanned. This can be accomplished from the Wallet tab by selecting an individual ticket and tapping "Cancel" or by clicking on the Ticket Forward icon at the top of the Wallet tab. Select the specific Forward then tap "Cancel Forward." The recipient of the ticket you forwarded will be notified.

Can I cancel or recall an Orioles ticket forward after it has been accepted?

Yes, the original ticket sender can cancel or recall a ticket forward after it has been accepted. The sender and recipient will be notified by email of this action and the ticket will disappear from the recipient's (or anyone they may have forwarded it to) Wallet tab. However, once the ticket has been scanned for entry, the ticket cannot be recalled.

Can I cancel an Orioles ticket forward after it has been accepted and re-sent?

Yes, the original ticket owner can cancel the forward for a ticket to a Orioles home game regardless of how many times it has been re-forwarded as long as it has not been scanned for entry yet. The sender and original recipient will be notified by email of this action, and the ticket will disappear from the Wallet Tab and/or My Orioles Tickets account of whomever the ticket had last been forwarded to.

Can I forward multiple Orioles tickets to a single account?

Yes. Tickets can be forwarded together from the same event or one ticket at a time.

Where can I find the status of all Orioles Ticket Forwards?

You can navigate to the Ticket Forward icon at the top of the Wallet tab. There, you will find all received and sent ticket forwards for your account.

What if I never received the Ticket Forward email?

If you are expecting to receive a ticket forward but were never notified by email, contact the sender. The sender can cancel the current Ticket Forward then re-send to you by email or share link. If you or the sender are still having difficulties, contact us at [email protected] or 888-848-BIRD (2473).

If the person I forward tickets to deletes the email they received to accept the ticket(s) before they click "Accept," what should I do?

The ticket owner should cancel their original ticket forward and then re-forward the ticket via the MLB Ballpark app so the recipient receives a new email through which to accept the ticket(s).
