New York Yankees Tickets

New York Yankees Tickets

Ah, the Yankees. One of the winningest teams in MLB history. Coincidentally — or maybe not — one of the most polarizing teams, as well. You either love the Bronx Bombers or you hate ’em, but there’s one thing we can all agree on: the Yanks have been around a very, very long time and show no signs of retreating into the shadows any time soon.

 

The Early Days in… Baltimore?

Believe it or not, the Yankees in their earliest incarnation weren’t even a New York team; they began as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901. This strange blip in history didn’t last long, as the team pretty much fell apart in 1902 and was shipped whole hog to New York by new owners Bill Devery and Frank Farrell, which is when they were renamed… the Highlanders.

That’s right — the Yankees didn’t take on their iconic name until well into their tenure in the Empire State. It would be 1913 when the team finally got the name that would stick with them for a century and counting, filling New Yorkers with pride whenever they hear it. Well, unless you’re a Mets fan, heaven help you.

 

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Just about anyone outside of the Five Boroughs gives the Yanks the fish-eye, and for good reason: their record is almost obscene. When you win 18 division titles, 40 pennants, and 27 World Series championships over your lifetime as a team, you earn one hell of a reputation.

You also attract some of the best talent in the world. Many of the most well-known MLB greats have worn those legendary pinstripes over the years, including Yogi Berra, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, and Whitey Ford, to name just a few. The Yankees had such an embarrassment of riches in the form of amazing players that, during the Steinbrenner era, they were often referred to as the best team money can buy. Bitter much?

 

You Want Rivalries? We Got ‘Em!

The NY Yankees have a slew of enemies lined up three rows deep. Everyone has beef with the Bronx Zoo, but there are some teams who want it more than others. The Boston Red Sox is one of those teams, as these two have both been around a long time and are close enough geographically to have clashed thousands of times over the years. With East Coast bragging rights on the line, Yankees-Red Sox games are always explosive.

Meanwhile, the New York Mets are probably the only other team in the MLB with just as much invested in their rivalry as the Red Sox. Tired of being thought of as “the other New York baseball team” since their inception in 1962, the Mets have risen to the occasion more than once. Mets-Yankees clashes, known as the Subway Series, are always a thrill — and no matter who loses, New Yorkers are the winner.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the Yankees play?

The Bronx Bombers have called Yankee Stadium home for what seems like forever, and the field has been renovated and redesigned a number of times over the years to keep up with its high-profile tenants. While it doesn’t resemble the more modest digs of yesteryear, it’s still called The House that Ruth Built for a reason — the spirit of generations of Yankees fans fills this stadium to the brim.

 

When do Yankees tickets go on sale?

As the hot commodity they are, Yankees tickets are available well before the season begins. The MLB maps out the full schedule in advance, so by the time Spring Training rolls around, every team in the NL and the AL knows where they’ll be at any given moment.

 

When is the best time to buy cheap Yankees tickets?

Whether you want to buy cheap Yankees tickets — or tickets to any other team (but why?) — it’s always best to wait until the very last minute. That’s because ticket prices drop like a rock just before the game, as an unsold ticket doesn’t make any money. In fact, unsold tickets often cost money to resellers, so it’s in their best interest to move those tickets no matter what.

 

What’s the best way to buy cheap Yankees tickets?

Your best bet to buy cheap Yankees tickets is online. Ticket marketplaces are great for buying cheap tickets safely from resellers who buy in bulk from the MLB. These resellers get access to wholesale prices and then sell tickets at attractive prices that undercut the MLB. At the same time, they’re still making a tidy profit of their own. It’s a win-win for everyone, especially the fans!
