At the start of the season, tickets will be available for 20% of the capacity of Yankee Stadium. The organization will sell a limited number of tickets in specified temporary seating locations (“Ticket Pods”) to select home games (“Limited Capacity Games”) in an effort to maintain New York State’s physical distancing requirements.

Each fan in attendance will be required to take a PCR or antigen COVID-19 test with negative results or provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, as well as temperature checks on each game day in order to gain entry. More information will be posted shortly on COVID-19 testing and proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

At this time, only tickets in Ticket Pods to these Limited Capacity Games will be available for purchase. Thereafter, we will continue to monitor capacity restrictions as they apply to Yankee Stadium and determine whether more tickets will be made available for purchase.
