Oakland’s A’s Access Hopes to Solve MLB’s Attendance Problem

Many clubs across Major League Baseball are struggling with attendance. Out of the league’s 30 teams, 18 have so far have experienced a drop in 2019 compared to last season.

One of those is the Oakland Athletics. The A’s are averaging 19,038 fans per game at the Oakland Coliseum in 2019 compared to 19,427 last year. And in a sign of bigger problems league-wide, the A’s actually have increased their attendance ranking from 27th highest to 22nd highest over that span.

Ahead of the 2019 season, in an attempt to meet the demands of the evolving sports fan and boost attendance, Oakland rolled out a new season ticketing plan called A’s Access.
