The Padres have sold out season ticket memberships for a fourth straight year, the team announced Wednesday. The team has capped season ticket sales each of the last three seasons, with the number of season ticket memberships sold for 2026 setting a new franchise record.
All remaining tickets for the 2026 season will be on a per-game basis. Those tickets go on sale to the general public on Feb. 3. Season ticket members, waitlist members and select group and suite clients have pre-sale access beginning Jan. 28.
Additionally, limited tickets for Padres FanFest at Petco Park on Jan. 31 remain available at padres.com/fanfest.
The record season ticket sales arrive despite the team raising season ticket prices a fifth straight year, with the weighted average increase of 7% more than doubling last year’s increase.
The Padres did not raise season ticket prices from 2017 through 2021 before increasing prices each year since. Payroll has also moved from the third-highest in the majors in 2023 ($282.1 million, according to spotrac.com) to 15th in 2024 ($184 million) to ninth last year ($235.8 million).
At the same time, the demand for Padres games has never been higher, leading the team to begin capping season ticket sales. Since the pandemic, the Padres have not ranked lower than fifth in attendance and in 2025 outdrew every team in the majors outside the Los Angeles Dodgers with a franchise-record 3,437,201 fans at Petco Park.
The Padres are also coming off back-to-back playoff appearances for just the second time in franchise history.
