Rays 2023 Tickets Guide
The Rays 2022 season went about as expected as the team finished third behind the Blue Jays and Yankees. On RateYourSeats.com, ticket interest was middle-of-the-pack compared to other MLB teams.
The team is expected to have a similar season this year, but with fewer games against the Red Sox and Yankees, interest in 2023 Rays tickets is down.

Best Ticket Options at Tropicana Field
The best Rays tickets are the Home Plate Club and Rays Club. These are all-inclusive spaces in the stadium's lower bowl.
Of the two, tickets in the Home Plate Club are more desirable - but also more expensive and difficult to find. Rays Club tickets are usually available for most games and can be found for as cheap as $100.
The table below lists top ticket options with the lowest price for the rest of the season (as of Sep. 18, 2023) and a link to explore seats.
Cheaper Options
Historically, the cheapest tickets to a Rays game have been in the upper deck. But this area has been closed for some time - and fans sit in the two lower levels for most games.
On the 100 Level, tickets near the outfield are usually the least expensive. These include sections in foul territory and fair territory.
On the 200/Press Level, tickets are comparable in price to the cheapest seats on the lower level. There's good value here if you can snag seats on the infield, where you'll get a great view.
