{fshare id=3399}

The Texas Rangers announced the club’s individual ticket offers and pricing for 2013. The official 2013 regular season schedule with game times was also released.

Individual tickets for all 2013 games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, except Opening Day will go on sale at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 2 at the First Base Box Office, at texasrangers.com, and by phone at 972.RANGERS.

The club also announced specifics of an Online Ticket Opportunity that will allow fans the chance to purchase tickets to Opening Day, Friday, April 5 against the Los Angeles Angels.

Beginning Friday, February 1 at 9:00 a.m. and continuing through Wednesday, February 20 at 12 noon, fans can go to texasrangers.com/presale and register for the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets to Opening Day. Following registration, a pool of randomly selected registrants will be chosen and provided access to an online pre-sale opportunity, based on available inventory. Those selected will be notified by email no later than Monday, February 25.

A limited number of reserved seats, obstructed view seating, and standing room only tickets will

be included in the ticket opportunity. There is no charge to register for this opportunity. This will be the only chance for fans to purchase single game tickets for Opening Day at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

There will still be other options available for fans to guarantee their places at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington for Opening Day, including through the purchase of a 10-Game Plan, which includes a free ticket to Opening Day.

With six different 10-Packs to choose from, packages start at just $190 per plan. The 10-Game Plan offer several benefits, including a savings on Premier pricing (fans pay regular price for Premier games) and having the exact same seat location for the 10 games of each plan (exact seating is not guaranteed for Opening Day). In addition, 10-Game Plan buyers will receive the option to purchase one game in the Division Series and one game in the American League Championship Series should the Rangers make the Postseason.

The 10-Game Plans go on sale next Monday, January 14. Fans can call 972-RANGERS x3 or visit texasrangers.com for more information. Tickets can also be purchased at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Normal business hours are Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

For 2013, the advance individual sale price for non-Premier games will either remain the same or increase by $4.00 or less on 68.9% of the seats at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Cash parking for 2013 will be $15.00 for all games.

The Rangers will also introduce dynamic ticket pricing for adult Upper Reserved seating for all non-Premier and Premier games in 2013. In partnership with Qcue, the leading provider of demand-based pricing software for live entertainment events, the Rangers will use Qcue’s software analysis to set and adjust ticket prices higher or lower for each game in real-time based on market demand and factors such as pitching matchups, team performance, opponent, weather, and day of week. Upper Reserved seating represents nearly 20% of the total seating capacity of Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

More than half of the 30 Major League teams have implemented different versions of demand-based pricing in the last several years with a number of clubs utilizing the system for its entire seating inventory. Qcue, based in Austin, Texas, works with a number of MLB, NBA, and NHL teams on demand-based pricing.

“Implementing dynamic pricing will allow us to broaden our ticket-buying fan base while providing greater day-to-day pricing flexibility,” commented Rangers Chief Operating Officer Rick George. “It also will reward fans for purchasing tickets earlier in the season and allow us to protect season ticket holder value. We are using dynamic pricing in just one seating category in 2013, and will be evaluating its effectiveness to determine if the program will be expanded in future seasons.”

Upper Reserved seats for children, 13 and under are priced at $6.00 for all games and are not impacted by dynamic pricing.
