Seat selection procedure for season tickets
Can I request specific seats?
When it is your turn to purchase your Padres season ticket membership and select seats, you can select available seats via a virtual seat selection process. With your on-deck membership, you do not submit a specific seat request.
When will I be contacted to select seats?

Please monitor your emails to stay up to date on important details!
What if I don’t like the seats available when it’s my turn to select seats?
Seat availability is dependent on current Padres Season Ticket members renewing their existing seat. If you don’t like the available seats during your seat selection window, you have two options:
