Baltimore June 2016
Hi Everyone,
I am going to be surprising my boyfriend with a trip to Baltimore to see his Jays play the Orioles (June 17-19 2016). It will be a bit ambitious to do a weekend trip as we are coming from Ottawa, Canada (about 8-9 hour drive).
Few questions as I have never been to Baltimore before.
- What are the general ticket prices like for a lower bowl seat- somewhere between 3rd base and 1st base? Are they generally really expensive?
- Does anyone know when single tickets will go on sale?
- Are there any "budget friendly" hotels around? The one on the chaser guide is $200 a night and with the terrible Canadian dollar this just isn't feasible. "Budget friendly" defined as $100-$130/night ish.
- What other activities do you recommend doing other than a ballpark tour? Any sights to see sports related or non sports related?
If you ever need advice about Rogers Centre, I am always willing to help!

I don't think the Orioles have released their ticket prices for 2016 or announced when they go on sale. I would check Orioles.com/Tickets to see when they announce prices.
According to http://www.statista.com/ the average Orioles ticket is $24.97 which is lower than the MLB average.As for the Hotels I'm not familiar with the budget hotels in area. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn. I would suggest staying around the inner-harbour area. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn and it was safe & easy to walk to the ballpark.

Hi! To save money when I went to Baltimore I stayed just outside at the Hyatt Place Baltimore/BWI Airport hotel. It was decently priced and just a short drive, but then parking in the city was expensive. I would actually recommend staying in the city if possible because the cost may even out, and there is a lot to do in walking distance. You already mentioned the ballpark tour which I would definitely recommend because Camden Yards is beautiful. The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Sports Legends Museum is walkable from the stadium and definitely a cool place to see with a low entrance fee. I would also recommend visiting the Baltimore aquarium if that interests you.

Thanks Blue Jays Fan and Kerry S! I'm glad the tickets are reasonable. Thanks for the insight. The Babe Ruth museum sounds like something we'd love to check out :)

Thanks for pointing this out, Cori. I will see that the Chaser Budget hotels are updated as $200 is too expensive for that category.

My wife and I went to an Orioles game in April of 2011. At the time, they offered a discount on single game tickets during the month of your birthday. If I remember correctly, the deal was that the person whose birthday month it was got a free upper deck seat along the third base side or a discounted lower bowl seat along the third base side. We bought tickets at the box office the morning of the game and were able to get front row seats along the third base line in the outfield. My seat with the birthday discount was $10 and my wife's ticket was full price, which was only $30-40. We loved the view of the field with the warehouse in the background.

Awesome thank you Craig! I actually found one - Envy Hotel Baltimore Inner Harbor for $92.65 USD/night (taxes in) in case you wanted to add it to the list :) Its very close to the stadium, walking distance, which is always a bonus. Here's the street address if you want it 22 E Fayette St, Baltimore, MD 21202, United States. I found it through Booking.com

Great find! Please let me know what you think of the hotel after your stay. We try to only include hotels/motels that have a ranking of 3.5 or higher using TripAdvisor.
