Where can I find coupons for San Diego Padres tickets and admission?

There are no coupons at this time. However, prices vary depending on factors like day of the week and who the opponent is. You will save a few bucks by choosing a mid-week game against a less in-demand opponent. Conversely, you will pay maximum prices for weekend games against rivals and playoff contenders. You can also save a bit more buying in advance than waiting until the day of the game.

OK here are some ways to save that you may not have known about:

• Shop for tickets here, from resellers, which of course can be marked up for high demand seats and dates. But the opposite is also true. Lower demand opponents and days of the week mean lower prices. Try last minute as well, when greedy-but-desperate ticket holders are most likely to blink.
