Here’s how families can score free tickets for kids and enjoy a budget-friendly day at a Baltimore Orioles game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kids 9 and under can attend for free. For every paid adult upper deck ticket, you can add up to two free child tickets through the “Kids Cheer Free” promotion. 
  • You must reserve tickets in advance. Families can’t just show up. Free kids’ tickets need to be selected during the online ticket purchase process. 
  • The savings can be significant. With typical family game costs easily reaching hundreds of dollars, this program makes attending a Major League Baseball game far more accessible. 

As a parent, I know how quickly the cost of a family outing can spiral, especially when it comes to professional sports. That’s why discovering the “Kids Cheer Free” promotion for Baltimore Orioles games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards felt like such a win. Instead of worrying about ticket prices, I could focus on what really matters: sharing the simple joy of a summer baseball game with my kids, without breaking the budget.

The team’s popular Kids Cheer Free promotion means that every adult with a regular paid upper deck admission can “buy” 2 additional tickets for children 9 and under — for free! Talk about a win!

As a baseball-loving family, this season, we saw a Baltimore Orioles game, headed to Boston to see our beloved Yankees battle the Red Sox, cheered for the Giants in San Francisco and the Padres in San Diego and devoured all of the good eats at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners.

Going to the Game? Take Out a Home Loan!

These trips were never cheap. When you add up tickets for 5, parking, food, drinks and the inevitable souvenir, it is easy to rack up a vacation day bill of $300 or more! That’s why many families never get to see their favorite pro team but choose to attend much more affordable minor league baseball games.

But not if you go to Baltimore. About the “Kids Cheer Free” promotion, John Angelos, Orioles Executive Vice President, once said: “The Orioles are committed to sustaining the access for families from all walks of life to our great game, and that commitment is reflected in the Kids Cheer Free initiative and our many other family-focused programs.”

How to Get Free Tickets for the Orioles

There is a small catch to the program. You can’t just show up at the stadium with your kids. They must have tickets to enter.

Go to the Orioles Kids Cheer Free ticket link. To purchase – select your game date, choose your seats, and change the ticket type to “Child – Free” for any kids in your party. Proceed with your ticket purchase.

Kid-Friendly at Camden Yards

Other kid-friendly programs offered by the Baltimore Orioles include:

  • A Kids’ Corner play space with food stands and lounge areas for parents
  • Children ages 4-12 can run the bases after Sunday home games just like their favorite big leaguers
  • The Orioles continue their budget-friendly policy of permitting guests to bring in their own food and beverages.
  • Friday night music and fireworks.

Will Other Teams and Leagues Follow the Orioles?

I really hope that this program is so popular that every Major League Baseball team adopts it and that it causes a domino effect for the NFL, NBA and NHL. For too long, astronomical ticket prices for professional games have made attending one a struggle or totally out of reach for many families.
