FOR RELEASE: 3:00 p.m. (CST), Tuesday, March 23, 1999
The Texas Rangers announced today that the club’s regular season opener with the Detroit Tigers on Monday, April 5 at The Ballpark in Arlington is a complete sellout.
As a result, the club also announced it will sell a limited number of standing room tickets for opening day at $5.00 apiece. Those tickets will go on sale on Thursday, April 1 at 9:00 a.m. at The Ballpark in Arlington ONLY. There will be no outlet, phone, or Internet sale of the standing room tickets.
It marks the second earliest in history that the Rangers have ever sold out the home opener. In 1994, the first year that The Ballpark in Arlington was opened, the final tickets for the April 11 opener were sold on March 12.
Season ticket and mini-plan packages for 1999 are still available for sale. In order to fill potential season ticket and mini-plan orders, the Rangers have held back a limited number of seats for the April 5 opener. In the event that some of these tickets have not been used to fill season ticket and mini-plan orders as of the close of business on Wednesday, March 31, these tickets for the April 5 opener may be available for public sale. If that is the case, those tickets will go on sale at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 1 at the Rangers’ ticket office at The Ballpark in Arlington, at all metro Dillard’s stores, at Rangers’ ETM locations, through the club’s Internet set at www.texasrangers.com, and by phone.
Tickets remain for opening night, Tuesday, April 6 against Detroit at 7:35 p.m., and all other 1999 home games. For more information, please call the Rangers ticket office at 817-273-5100.
