Support a local youth center by watching the A's Take on the Mariners on 7/8 at Lower Box (First Base Side for only $25)

Let's Go Oakland.

Hey folks, my name is Mike Lok, A's fan since I was born (1984), been to about a dozen games so far this year want to go to more to improve my season record.

The Chinatown Youth Center Initiative | "The Spot" (www.thespotoakland.org) is a newly-opened collaborative youth center dedicated to helping youth and young adults get ready for their futures. The Spot is located at 299 13th Street. We brought a group to this year's Rollie Fingers Bobblehead Game and 42 tickets were purchased, 7 pf those tickets were bought so local youth could attend.

Our next game is Sunday, July 8th 1:05pm v. Seattle Mariners

The seats are $25 for the Lower Box seats (which are normally priced at least $32). A portion of each ticket sold goes to The Spot. The seats for all games will be in Lower Box Section 107 rows 7 through 12 (first base side, great foul ball territory, see where the seats are). We are purposefully selling them at a discounted rate to provide an incentive to support our cause. There's no limit to the number of tickets we can sell provided that it does not sell out and we find out before 2 weeks before gameday, so we hope even if you are already a season ticket holder or have other plans that you could pass the word to your friend and family that are A's fans.

If you cannot attend but would still like to support, you could also sponsor tickets for youth to attend, or we hope you would consider making a tax deductible donation directly to The Spot here

INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASE TICKETS:

  • Tickets can be ordered through Fundraising Committee Chair Michael Lok, mlok@thespotoakland.org, 510-306-1866. The Spot will not guarantee tickets on gamedays. We need a final count on tickets two weeks before gameday and the longer you wait decreases the chance that you could get seats that are all next to each other. As gameday gets closers, Michael will follow-up to confirm your order.
  • Tickets can be purchased via Cash or Check (Checks made payable to Michael Lok).
  • These will be physical tickets, so you will need to either (1) provide a mailing address, or (2) pick them up before gameday from Michael in Downtown Oakland, otherwise we will leave the ticket under you name at Will Call on gameday.
