The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for the playoffs with a unique event that will allow fans a closer look at their favorite team as they prepare for the National League Division Series (NLDS). Having secured a bye, the Phillies will face an as-yet-undetermined opponent on Saturday, October 4. Possible adversaries include the Dodgers, Mets, Reds, or Diamondbacks, with an outside chance of meeting the Padres or the Cubs if the Phillies clinch the NL No. 1 seed, which requires them to win their remaining games and for Milwaukee to lose all three of theirs.
In anticipation of the forthcoming playoff series, the Phillies are set to hold an intra-squad game at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday. Uniquely, this game will be open to the public, providing an exciting opportunity for fans to experience the team’s dynamic in person prior to the postseason. Tickets for the game are priced at $10, with proceeds benefiting Phillies Charities. John Weber, Phillies Senior Vice President of Ticket Operations, emphasized the significance of this event, inviting fans to come with their “Made for Red October” enthusiasm. This approach not only energizes the team but also integrates the community into their playoff journey.
Full details for attending are available as tickets will be put on sale starting Saturday, September 27, at 10:00 a.m. on the team’s official website. These tickets will sell on a first-come, first-serve basis, with only the lower bowl accessible to fans. Additional amenities such as free parking will be available in select lots, opening at 4:00 p.m., and gates will welcome fans at 5:00 p.m. Certain concessions and the New Era Phillies Team Store will also be operational for this event.
This initiative provides an excellent opportunity for fans to be part of the Phillies’ playoff preparation and offers a sense of community and anticipation as the team moves into the pivotal postseason.
