Mariners' spring tix on sale Saturday

01/13/2006
The Mariners always play to packed houses in the Cactus League, and the winter roster renovation that brought new players Kenji Johjima, Jarrod Washburn, Carl Everett and Matt Lawton to Seattle has fans looking forward to an improved 2006.
The quest for a winning season begins in Peoria, Ariz., on Wednesday, Feb. 15, when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, and it really gets into gear Friday, March 3, when the Mariners begin their regulation spring schedule with a home date at Peoria Stadium against the Chicago Cubs.
Tickets for that game and other home games at the 12-year-old facility are on sale starting tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 14, at 8 a.m. PT. Individual-game ticket prices are $21 for infield box, $20 for club seating, $16 for outfield and upper box, $11 bleachers and $6 for outfield lawn seats.
The Mariners have drawn at least 105,000 to their Cactus League games eight of the past nine years, including 123,427 over 15 games last year.
Individual-game tickets to 2006 Seattle Mariners Spring Training are available online at www.seattlemariners.com, in person at the Peoria Sports Complex Box Office or any Arizona Ticketmaster Ticket Outlet, by phone at Ticketmaster AZ (480-784-4444) or Ticketmaster NW (206-622-HITS) and by mail from the Peoria Diamond Club, 16101 N. 83rd Ave., Peoria, AZ 85382.
The Mariners' 2006 Spring Training campaign begins with the annual charity game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, March 2, and the Mariners will play 16 "home" games at the Peoria Sports Complex and one game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, March 30, at Cashman Field, home of the Pacific Coast League Las Vegas 51s. Tickets for that game go on sale Wednesday, March 1, via the Las Vegas 51s website (www.lv51.com).
The Mariners' 30-game Spring Training schedule includes two split-squad day/night doubleheaders: the first on March 8 against the San Francisco Giants (day) and an exhibition against an Asian pool qualifier from the World Baseball Classic (night); the second March 11 against the Arizona Diamondbacks (day) and Kansas City Royals (night). The home slate includes games against the world champion Chicago White Sox (March 24), American League West champion Angels (March 13) and the division-rival Oakland A's (March 25).
There will be four Saturday home games (March 4 vs. San Diego, the March 11 doubleheader and March 25 vs. Oakland) and two Sunday home games (March 12 vs. Texas and March 19 against Colorado).
The regular season begins April 3 at Safeco Field against the Angels. Single-game tickets for the regular season go on sale March 4.
