The Athletics are seeing an exorbitant increase in ticket sales ahead of their inaugural season in Sacramento.
According to USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale, ticket sales for the A’s are “12 times greater” than one year ago as the regular-season opener nears.
StubHub, the authorized ticket marketplace of Major League Baseball, quoted Nightengale’s report with another fact about the Athletics’ impressive ticket sales:

During their final season in Oakland, the A’s reported attendance was 922,286 in 2024—an average of 11,528 per game.
For at least the next three seasons, the Athletics will call Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento their home. The stadium has a seating capacity of 14,014 (including standing room and lawn seating).

The Athletics will be wearing a reminder of their eventual home on their jerseys this season.
The A’s will wear a “Las Vegas” patch on their sleeves, thanks to a three-year sponsorship deal with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The A’s will be playing the next three seasons at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, Calif., then are scheduled to move into a new stadium in Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
Unable to secure a stadium deal in Oakland, the A’s left the city it had called home since 1968 after last season.
“We’re going to be partners for a very, very long time, and we really thought that during these three years of interim play in Sacramento that celebrating coming to Vegas was something that was really important,” team owner John Fisher told The Athletic.
The deal will pay the Athletics $2.5 million in 2025, with the amount going up an additional $250,000 in each subsequent year of the agreement, according to Steve Hill, head of the LVCVA, per The Athletic.
The team that makes the most on its sponsorship deal is believed to be the New York Yankees, who earn roughly $25 million a year from their deal with Starr Insurance, according to the report.
Although the A’s will display the name of their future home on their sleeves, their jerseys will not bear the name of the city they actually play in, Sacramento, across the front. Before moving to their permanent home, they will be known as just the A’s or Athletics.
The Vegas patch will appear on each player’s dominant arm. The team will wear a Sacramento patch on the opposite sleeve.
“We’re very excited to be opening the season shortly here in Sacramento,” Fisher said. “It’s a great city and one that’s been extremely supportive of our coming here. But it’s always been clear from the beginning that our years in Sacramento were going to be interim years. I think Sacramento is an incredible market for an expansion team down the road, but we’re coming to Las Vegas, and so we felt that it was appropriate and was the right thing to just be the Athletics during those interim years.”
