Los Angeles, CA – In a groundbreaking move that has Dodgers fans celebrating across the city, team owner Mark Walter has announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers will begin offering $10 tickets at Dodger Stadium, giving thousands of low-income families the opportunity to experience a live MLB game for the very first time.

The announcement has gone viral, with fans calling it the “nicest gesture in team history” and praising the organization for putting accessibility and community first.

$10 Tickets at Dodger Stadium

Starting this season, a large block of tickets at Dodger Stadium will be sold for just $10 each, specifically allocated for families and individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford attending a game.

“Baseball is for everyone, and Dodger Stadium should feel like home to all of Los Angeles,” said owner Mark Walter in a statement. “This initiative is about breaking down barriers and making sure that all fans—no matter their background—can be part of the Dodgers family.”

The Dodgers are partnering with community organizations, schools, and nonprofits across Southern California to distribute the affordable tickets fairly and directly to the people who need them most.

Fans Call It the Nicest Gesture in Dodgers History

The announcement was met with overwhelming support on social media. Within hours, hashtags like #DodgersForAll and #ThankYouWalter were trending across Los Angeles.

One fan posted: “$10 tickets to see the Dodgers? This is the most thoughtful thing the team has ever done. Mark Walter just won over the city.”

Another wrote, “As a parent, I could never afford to bring my kids to a game before. This changes everything. Now my family will finally get to see the Dodgers in person.”

Tackling the High Cost of MLB Tickets

Attending an MLB game has become increasingly expensive. The average Dodgers ticket price is among the highest in baseball, often ranging from $50 to $200 depending on the matchup and seating location. For working-class families, those costs—combined with concessions, parking, and souvenirs—can make going to a game nearly impossible.

By offering $10 tickets, the Dodgers are making a bold statement about inclusivity and affordability.

“This is a game-changing move,” said sports economist Daniel Green. “Mark Walter and the Dodgers are setting a precedent for how big-market teams can give back to their communities. It’s rare to see ownership take such a meaningful step toward accessibility.”

Strengthening the Dodgers’ Bond with Los Angeles

The Dodgers are more than just a baseball team in Los Angeles—they are a cultural institution. From legendary players like Jackie Robinson and Sandy Koufax to the team’s modern superstars, the Dodgers embody resilience, diversity, and excellence.

This new ticket program strengthens the connection between the franchise and its fanbase, ensuring that future generations of Angelenos can experience the thrill of Dodger Stadium firsthand.

“For many families, this will be the first time their kids walk into Dodger Stadium, see the palm trees and the skyline, and cheer for their team in person,” said community advocate Carla Reyes. “That’s a memory they will carry for life.”

A Model That Could Inspire Other Teams

The Dodgers’ move is already sparking conversation across Major League Baseball. While other teams occasionally offer special promotions, few have launched a ticket program with this level of impact.

“Mark Walter has set the bar,” said MLB analyst James O’Neill. “If other franchises follow this example, it could reshape the relationship between teams and fans across the league.”

A Legacy of Community Commitment

Since taking over as controlling owner in 2012, Mark Walter and the Guggenheim Baseball Management group have emphasized both winning on the field and serving the community off it. From investing in youth programs to supporting local charities, the Dodgers have consistently sought ways to give back to Los Angeles.

The $10 ticket initiative may prove to be one of the organization’s most enduring contributions, highlighting a philosophy that baseball should be accessible to all.

As one lifelong Dodgers fan summed it up: “The World Series in 2020 was amazing, but this is something else entirely. This shows that the Dodgers truly care about the people of LA. Mark Walter just made Dodgers history.”
