Throughout the season, MLB game tickets can be bought via the official MLB site or through individual team sites. However, the nearer you get to gameday, it may prove harder to purchase them via these routes, especially for some of the more high-profile encounters.
You may also wish to consider secondary sites such as StubHub, which could give fans the best opportunity of obtaining tickets.

What to expect from the MLB Mexico City Series
There’s nothing like savouring the sights, sounds, and excitement of a live baseball game in person. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the scent of popcorn and hot dogs, MLB games offer unforgettable moments for every fan.
Previous regular-season match-ups held in Mexico have definitely lived up to all the pre-game hype. From 1996 up to and including 2019, all the regular-season games held in Mexico took place in Monterrey.
The memorable moments have continued since the games shifted to Mexico City in 2023, with 10+ runs scored in each of the games played at the Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu. In fact, a jaw-dropping 107 runs have been notched in the previous seven regular-season games in Mexico.
While the San Diego Padres have been involved in numerous competitive match-ups in Mexico, including starring in a thrilling double-header with the San Francisco Giants in 2023, this will be the first time the Arizona Diamondbacks feature in a regular-season encounter in ‘The Land of the Sun’.
A whole host of MLB stars have mesmerised the Mexican masses in the past, and this year will be no different. Just to name a few, we’ve got Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Manny Machado starring for the San Diego Padres. For the Arizona Diamondbacks, it’s worth keeping an eye out for the likes of Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Geraldo Perdomo.
