Seattle Mariners Secure ALDS First-Round Bye as Playoff Tickets Sell Out Rapidly

The Seattle Mariners have secured their spot in the American League Division Series (ALDS) with a first-round bye, prompting a surge in demand for playoff tickets that sold out within minutes. Mariners fans have embraced the team enthusiastically, filling T-Mobile Park for the upcoming postseason games starting October 4. The Mariners clinched at least the No. 2 seed in the AL standings, which affects their playoff matchups, and have the potential to earn the AL’s top seed as the regular season concludes. Cal Raleigh's historic home run chase, nearing the AL record, has added to the excitement surrounding the team's postseason run. Despite the quick sell-out, fans have expressed concerns over high ticket prices and limited availability, with some looking to secondary markets for tickets. The Mariners will release tickets for potential AL Championship Series and World Series games as they advance further in the playoffs.
