Houston Astros Tickets

Houston Astros Tickets

Starting out as the Houston Colt .45s in 1962, the Astros have one heck of a history. In 1965 the team moved to the Houston Astrodome and took on the name they have today, inspired by their new home field. The years following have been defined by perseverance and faith, most recently peaking in 2017 with a win over the Dodgers to nab their first World Series victory.

 

Slow but Steady

The Astros might have gotten off to a slow start in the 1960s, but the team never stopped learning from their mistakes and building on their successes. Their persistence paid off when the team made it to the World Series in 2005 after clinching the American League Championship in a nail-biter against the Atlanta Braves.

The Astros would ultimately lose to the White Sox that year, but the team made their mark on history. It would be their first World Series appearance as well as the first to be played in Texas — but it wouldn’t be the last.

 

Claiming the Ultimate Prize

The Astros had tasted success and weren’t ready to give up anytime soon. Over the next several years, Houston continued to push forward, even amid a move from the NL to the AL. What could have been a tumultuous change instead led to another record-setting performance in 2017. That year, the Astros took down the New York Yankees in the ALCS, becoming the only team to ever win both leagues. And in a grand finale, they earned their first World Series championship in franchise history against the LA Dodgers.  

 

The Future of the Astros

The Astros’ relentless spirit over the years can teach us a lot, especially about patience and persistence in reaching a lofty goal. While the Astros have certainly earned themselves a place in the annals of MLB history, the future of this team is even brighter.

In fact, the Astros showed their determination in the 2018 season, making it to the ALCS for the second year in a row. It was only the might of the Boston Red Sox that prevented Houston from appearing in the 2018 World Series.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the Astros play?

The Houston Astros have called Minute Maid Park home since 2000, after relocating from the legendary Astrodome that shared the team’s name. Let’s hope they don’t change the Astros to the Minute Maids any time soon.

 

When do Astros tickets go on sale?

Astros tickets go on sale well before the beginning of the MLB season. Early birds can get regular season tickets for any game — and any team — even before Spring Training starts.

 

When is the best time to buy cheap Astros tickets?

Whether you want to buy cheap Astros tickets — or cheap tickets to any other event — it’s always best to wait until the last minute. That’s because ticket prices plummet just before the event, as an unsold ticket doesn’t make any money. In fact, unsold tickets often cost money to resellers, so it’s in their best interest to move those tickets no matter what.

 

What’s the best way to buy cheap Astros tickets?

Your best bet to buy cheap Astros tickets is an online ticket marketplace. Sites like Gametime provide an easier, more secure way to buy from a ticket reseller, without having to worry about scams or flaky sellers.

A ticket marketplace is also the best way to find inexpensive seats to sporting events, concerts, and shows. The secret is in how resellers get their tickets in the first place. Individuals and companies who use marketplaces to sell their tickets almost always buy in bulk from the MLB. As a result, these resellers get access to wholesale prices that are never offered to a regular fan. Resellers then offer their tickets at attractive prices that undercut the MLB but still provide a healthy profit margin for themselves.

Gametime has some of the lowest and most affordable service fees you’ll find anywhere, helping to keep prices low for Astros tickets.
