The Padres, the owners of Major League Baseball’s worst record, has a new promotion to get fans into Petco Park next month: Give them $99 for the first five games in June and they’ll guarantee you watch five victories.

That means patrons will have another game added to their pass for every loss that occurs before the Padres win five games in June in their downtown venue.

The Padres Five-Win Pass – delivered to smartphones via MLB.com’s BallPark app – includes a $20 credit to use on seat upgrades and includes an additional $5 upgrade credit after each Padres’ win to be used toward your next seat upgrade.

The pass – which is on sale until 10 a.m. June 9 – guarantees seats in left field in sections 226, 228 and 230.


The 16-game home schedule next month starts with three games against the NL West-leading Rockies (June 2-3) and includes series against the Royals, the Reds, the Tigers, Matt Kemp’s Braves and one Friday night game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

At 16-30, the Padres’ .348 winning percentage is one point ahead of the Marlins (15-28) for the worst record in the majors.

The Padres are 9-14 at home.

A ticket boost is certainly needed at Petco Park.


The Padres are averaging 25,002 fans per game thus far, more than 2,600 off last year’s pace through the first 23 home dates of the season.
