Guardians Game Moved to Saturday: Here’s What You Need to Know

What Happened to the Game?

The baseball game you may have been waiting for has been moved! Instead of happening on Friday, it is now part of a split doubleheader on Saturday.
A split doubleheader is just a fancy way of saying: two games in one day, but they are separate events with different start times and separate tickets.

New Game Times and Gate Openings

Here are the simple details:

• Game 1: Starts at 1:10 p.m. on Saturday
• Game 2: Starts at 7:10 p.m. on Saturday (Guardians vs. Pirates)
• Gates for Game 1 open at noon (12:00 p.m.)
• Gates for Game 2 open at 5:30 p.m.

If You Had a Friday Ticket

If you bought a ticket for the original Friday game, here is the deal:

• You can use that same ticket to get into Game 1 at 1:10 p.m. Saturday
• You cannot use it for Game 2
• To go to Game 2, you must buy a separate ticket

Important: Your Friday ticket only works for Saturday’s first game. A new ticket is required for the night game!

Can’t Make the Makeup Game?

The Guardians said that if you can’t attend the makeup game on July 18, you might be able to exchange your ticket.

Here is how it works:

1. Check how you bought your ticket (online, at box office, etc.)
2. Request an exchange based on that method
3. Make sure to do it by July 18 at 1:00 p.m. ET
4. Do not try to exchange in the MLB Ballpark app

Important: Exchanges must be done before July 18 at 1:00 p.m. ET, and they cannot be done inside the MLB Ballpark app.

Summary

• The game is now Saturday as a split doubleheader: 1:10 p.m. and 7:10 p.m.
• Gates open at noon and 5:30 p.m. for each game
• Friday tickets work for Game 1 only
• Game 2 needs its own ticket
• Can’t attend July 18? Exchange by 1:00 p.m. ET that day, not via the app
