How Do Reservations Work?

For the Friday 9/13 game, we're offering reservations until we know if the game is necessary or not. Reservations are similar to buying tickets, but there are things that are the same and things that are different.

Same

• You'll see a visual seat map of the ballpark.
• You get to pick your exact seats, or section if GA.
• You can select seats and add them to your cart.

Different

• Instead of paying for your tickets immediately, you just "reserve them" – no payment is necessary up front.
• Once we know if the game is necessary, you will have to follow instructions to "complete" your purchase with payment information online.
• We won't know until after the game on Thursday the 12th if the Friday game is necessary or not.
• You'll have until 1:00pm (one PM) on Friday 9/13 to pay for your reservation. If you don't pay for it by then, your reservation will be canceled.

We're doing this so that no one has to pay for the game if the game doesn't happen. This way, there are no messy refunds, and no money is transacted, etc. But you can still pick your seats in advance. We, and our ticketing platform (Vivenu), will be sending out information when you need it, whether the game becomes unnecessary, or if it is confirmed, the game is really happening and paying for the tickets becomes necessary.

When you make a reservation, you'll receive an email with the details of your reservation, and instructions on how to pay for them when the time comes. Checking your email for emails from Vivenu is the bet. You can also login to tickets.oaklandballers.com to view your reservations in your account.
