How much do A’s-Giants tickets cost? West Sacramento crowds growing in 2nd season
More people are going to see the Athletics in West Sacramento this season, and next weekend’s series against the San Francisco Giants will likely continue to drive attendance upward.
The A’s have sold out six of their first 16 home games in 2026 after announcing just seven sellouts for all home games in 2025. Their average attendance is up to 10,490 at the 13,800-capacity Sutter Health Park, up nearly 10% from last season’s 9,487 average.
Three of last year’s sellouts came when the A’s hosted the Giants on July 4 weekend, when all three games had crowds of more than 12,000 fans. (Last year’s four other sellouts were the A’s home opener and all three home games vs. the Yankees, who will visit West Sacramento at the end of this month, May 29-31.)
It should be noted last year’s Giants team was five games above .500 and in the thick of a playoff race when they came to West Sacramento. This year’s club has gotten off to a rough start and entered play Wednesday at 14-22 under first-year manager Tony Vitello, who has become a lightning rod among the fan base.
This year, the A’s are juicing the Northern California rivalry series with events and giveaways. On Friday, May 15, there will be K Pop-themed fireworks show after the game. There will be a giveaway of a crossbody bag featuring script that reads “Sacramento” on Saturday, May 16. Sunday, May 17, will include a giveaway of kids’ socks and chance for kids 14 or younger to run the bases after the game.
Single-game tickets for next weekend’s series remained available on the A’s website ranging from roughly $76 for outfield lawn seats to $400 for access to premium club areas, as of listings midday Wednesday. On secondary sites like Stubhub, TickPick and official MLB resale partner SeatGeek, tickets are more expensive — from around $120 for lawn seats, including fees, to upwards of $200 for tickets behind home plate.
The uptick in attendance could be traced to the A’s having a better season than 2025 when they finished 76-86, which included losing 20 of 21 over a stretch from May into June that killed their momentum into the summer. The A’s heading into Wednesday were in first place in the American League West division at 18-17 and were just one of three teams in the AL with a winning record.
They also have an exciting young group of players headlined by reigning AL Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz and second-place finisher Jacob Wilson.
Additionally, the team has made more of an effort to appeal to Sacramento by wearing yellow jersey’s featuring Sacramento across the chest accompanying locally themed “Sacramento Saturdays,” which include local activations and Sacramento-themed giveaways.
The A’s have averaged 11,512 fans at their three Sacramento Saturday games so far this season and will have their fourth during the second game of the series against the Giants.
