Head to the ballpark to see the NL East Champions take on an opposing team. You'll get to see some of baseball's star players, like Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Max Scherzer, Daniel Murphy, and Jason Werth! You can buy tickets at the gate or online for affordable prices. If you're looking for a recommendation on where to sit, I personally love Scoreboard Pavilion, and tickets usually run about $35 a game in those seats.
