Step Up to the Plate: Free Wild Things Tickets for Fans 50+!

Posted on 04/01/25

Baseball season is here, and if you’re 50 or older, the Washington Wild Things have a special offer just for you! AARP Pennsylvania is proud to sponsor the Senior Slugger Program, which gives fans 50+ a free ticket to every Wednesday home game at Wild Things Park.

These midweek games have an earlier start time to better accommodate fans, and there’s even a special treat—$1 hot dogs courtesy of Berks Foods!

AARP volunteers will be on-site at these games to share helpful resources and ways to get involved in your community. So grab your glove, bring your friends, and enjoy a night (or afternoon) at the ballpark!

2025 Senior Slugger Game Schedule:
May 14 – vs Ottawa Titans
June 4 – vs Joliet Slammers
June 11 – vs Schaumburg Boomers
June 25 – vs Lake Erie Crushers (1:05 p.m. start)
July 9 – vs Evansville Otters
July 30 – vs New Jersey Jackals
