St. Louis Cardinals Tickets

Where To Sit At Busch Stadium

Busch Stadium is the 8th largest Major League Ballpark with nearly 47,000 seats. After the completion of  Ballpark Village right next to the stadium in 2014, it became obvious that the St. Louis Cardinals organization took full advantage of additional revenue streams with the construction of new private, luxury and group seating. The St. Louis Cardinals also made use of a dynamic pricing model so their ticket prices change daily depending on the opponent and demand to see the game. Many great deals can often be found by using a secondary market seller like Big Town Tickets.

Dugout Boxes

The dugout boxes consists of sections 132-139 (1st base line) and 161-166 (3rd base line) and the rows will range from row A to row K in most of these sections. While the term “dugout box” sounds like a prime seating area, these seats actually sit a few sections past each dugout and closer to the outfield corners. However, they’re small sections right next to the field and excellent seats if you can get them for a game or two.

Cardinals Club (Green Seats)

The Cardinals Club (Green seats) seats are the best and most exclusive seats at Busch Stadium and there are very few fans that would negate that. These seats are directly behind home plate and as close as you’ll get to the players on the diamond. It consists of sections 1-8 and each section consists of rows A-J. Among the many amenities you receive are larger and more comfortable seats, a pregame buffet with gourmet food and all you drink alcohol. During the game, you’ll receive all you can eat food and alcohol from a set menu delivered to your seats from a group of waiters. The entrances and restrooms are all private.  The Cardinals Club is one of the best experiences at Busch Stadium. To sit here, in all likelihood, you will have to know someone that has season tickets for the Cardinals Club or you can contact Big Town Tickets staff as we inventory several Green seats for every game.

Diamond Boxes

The diamond boxes consists of sections 140-145 (behind Cardinals dugout) and 155-160 (behind visitors dugout). These seats are lettered rows from Row A-K depending on the section. This seating areas offers some of the best views of the infield but doesn’t have any other special amenities other than a $5 concession credit per ticket. If you’re concerned about your budget, the field boxes behind the diamond boxes would offer as good of a view of the field for less money, just a little further back.

Field Boxes

Field Boxes make up one of the largest seating areas at Busch Stadium. There are five uniquely priced areas that are considered Field Boxes, the best and most expensive being the home field boxes behind home plate.

• InField Field Box – Sections 141-144 (behind Cardinals dugout), 156-160 (behind Visitors dugout). These sections will have between 18 and 24 rows of seats.  These are some of the best values in the infield.  You will generally find cheaper seats down the visitor side of the field compared to the Cardinals dugout side.  Also lower row tickets generally carry a premium.  Big Town Tickets owns many of these seats

• 1st and 3rd Base Field Box – The 1st base field box consists of the last rows of sections 135-140. The 3rd base field box consists of the last rows of sections 160-165. For these sections, the rows will be numbered 1-18 and 20-29 with a walkway separating the two areas.  

• Lower Left & Right Field Box - (Sections 127-134)/Lower Left Field Box (Sections 166-172). Section 169 is obstructed by the left field foul pole. These sections will have between 15 and 18 rows of seats.

• Right & Left Field Box - (Sections 128-135)/Left Field Box (163-167). Most of these sections will have 29 rows of seats. or these sections, the rows will be numbered 1-18 and 20-29 with a walkway separating the two areas.  

• Home Field Box - (Sections 145-155). These seats are directly behind home plate and are the best field box seats available in the ballpark. These seats are sold out on a season ticket basis and can only be purchased from a Broker like Big Town Tickets or a season ticket holder. Most of these sections will have between 18 and 24 rows of seats.

UMB Champions Club

The UMB Champions Club is the most popular private seating area at Busch Stadium among St. Louis Cardinals fans and is located in the outfield on the third base side. The area would be perfect for entertaining a small office gathering or family reunion. Here are a few of the amenities fans can expect in the UMB Champions Club.  Big Town Tickets can typically assist in putting together a group of tickets for you in this area if given enough time.

• All Champions Club tickets are sold individually and the area can hold up to 450 fans.

• Fans will have access to a pregame all you can eat buffet that offers salads, nachos, carving stations, sandwiches, hot dogs, brats, cookies and brownies. The buffet begins when Busch Stadium opens 1½ hours before the game for weekday games and 2 hours before the game on weekends. The buffet will be available until 1 hour after the game begins.  Other than the Cardinals Club, this is the best all inclusive area in the stadium.

• Fans also have access to an indoor lounge area with private entrances, restrooms, concessions and more than 30 TVs.

• Fans will be able to access to three bars with select spirits, beer and wine. The bar opens when the Busch Stadium gates open. Alcohol is available until the end of the 9th Inning. 

Loge

The loge seating area is one of the most underrated areas of Busch Stadium. The loge seats are located a little further from home plate than what most fans would probably prefer but they’re still far better than any seat on the terrace level despite having no amenities. Most loge sections have 15 rows of seats, so they're small sections. There are four areas that are considered part of the loge level at Busch Stadium. They are as follows.

• 1st Base Loge – Sections 237-240.  These seats offer a great view down the right field line.

• 3rd Base Loge – Sections 261 and 263. These seats offer a great view down the left field line.

• Right Field Loge – Sections 228-235.

• Left Field Loge – Sections 265-271.

The 3rd base loge seats are probably the best of the four areas, followed by the 1st base loge seats. The 3rd base loge seats will give you a similar view of the playing field as the UMB Champions Club. The 1st base loge seats will give you a similar view as the infield Redbird Club.

Left Field Porch

The left field porch is a seating area perched above the home run wall in deep left field. It only has three sections; LP1, LP2, LP3. There are nine rows in each section. Keep in mind that LP2 (left porch 2) will have an obstructed view of the field from some of the seats due to the left field foul pole. This is an excellent section for protection from the sun and rain. The area sits below “Big Mac Land” (named after former Cardinal Mark McGwire) and the loge seats. The ceiling gives the left field porch area a very claustrophobic feel. In fact, if your seats are past row 7, the ceiling is going to make it hard for you to see a lot of homes runs, fly balls and plays at the warning track.  People who sit here love that there is also love the private bar area behind the seats.

Pavillion

There are 4 distinct seating areas that make up the pavilion level at Busch Stadium.

• Home Pavilion - The Home pavilion is on the 300 level of Busch Stadium. It consists of sections 347-353. . These are the best seats on the pavilion level mainly because the sections are so small and they provide an excellent view of the St. Louis skyline, home plate and the pitching mound. Most sections will have only six rows of seats. You can’t go wrong here.

• Infield Pavilion - The infield pavilion is on the 300 level of Busch Stadium. It consists of sections 341-346 & 354-357.  They also provide an excellent view of the St. Louis skyline, home plate and the pitching mound. Most sections will have only six rows of seats.  Row 1 seats in some sections and depending on how tall you are may have railings that make it a bit hard to see.

• 1st Base/3rd base Pavilion – The 1st base pavilion consists of sections 337-340 and 3rd base pavillions consists of sections 358-360.  These sections typically have 9 rows.  These sections provide an excellent view of the infield down the 1st base line or 3rd base line. For the money, this is one of the best bargains in the ballpark.

• Left/Right Field Pavilion – The left and right field pavilion seats are the worst on the pavilion level compared to the other two areas. The right field pavilion consists of sections 331-335. Section 330 has a small amount of foul pole obstruction. The left field pavilion consists of sections 361-372. The left field foul pole is a major obstruction in front of section 371 and section 369 is an off section that you may be looking right at other people in section 368.

Terrace

There are 4 distinct seating areas that make up the terrace level at Busch Stadium. Most of these sections will have 11 rows of seats. If your tickets are for rows 7-11, you can expect a good amount of shade from the sun for day games. These seats are much better than what you would find in other Major League ballparks pertaining to upper level seats being closer to the field. The terrace level doesn’t feel very high up at all; Busch Stadium is a very spacious and spread out stadium.

• Home Terrace – The infield terrace seats make up the majority of the terrace level. It consists of sections 449-451 and offers phenomenal views of the St. Louis skyline from behind home plate. The worst part is that the players all look like ants down on the field. 

• Infield Terrace – The infield terrace seats make up the majority of the terrace level. It consists of sections 441-448 & 452-454  

• 1st Base Terrace – The 1st base terrace area consists of sections 437-440. These seats are way above the Cardinals dugout and are generally an ok seat except for being so far from the field. These seats are a much better alternative to the right field terrace in deep right field.

• Right Field Terrace – These are generally considered the worst seats on the terrace level. They consist of sections 4431-435. If you’re on a budget and want to take the family to a St. Louis Cardinals game.  Sections 428-430 (and sections 328-330)  have been removed and they have installed what is called the Budweiser Terrace which is a great area for all fans to come and hang during the game.

Terrace

They’re also the best seats in the entire stadium for catching home run balls. There are three parts that comprise the Busch Stadium bleachers and they are as follows.

• Lower Left Field Bleachers – The lower left field bleachers consists of sections 189-197. Sections 189 and 191 will sit directly behind the visiting team’s bullpen so you’ll be able to see every reliever warmup all day. The only downside is that the bullpen separates these sections from being next to the field. Most of these sections will have 14 rows of seats.  Row 11 isthe first row over the Visitor bullpen in sections 189 & 191 

• Lower Right Field Bleachers – The lower right field bleachers consists of sections 101-109. If your tickets are for sections 101-105, know that the replay board will be directly behind you and from the last few rows, you probably won’t be able to see it at all. Sections 107 and 109 will be directly behind the Cardinals bullpen where you’ll be able to see all of the Cardinals relief pitchers warmup before entering the game. On the occasion, you might be able to get a few players to sign autographs before the game but don’t get your hopes up.  In sec 107 & 109 row 11 is the first row that is over the Cardinals Bullpen.

• Right Field Bleachers – The right field bleachers consists of sections 107-111. Most of the rows in these sections will be numbered 20-33. If you want to sit as close to the field as possible in the bleachers, avoid these seats and shoot for the lower right and lower left field bleachers. Also keep in mind that the replay board will be difficult to see from many seats in these right field bleacher sections. 

Redbird Club

There are no special amenities for fans with Redbird Club tickets aside from access to the club area. The club area is upscale with private restrooms, upgraded concessions and bar drinks and a private entrance to your section. All of the food and beverages cost extra and aren’t inclusive. Inside the club area, you will find tons of sofas and tables to eat at with flat screen televisions all around and air conditioning inside and large fans that keep the seats cooler during those hot summer games.. There are no bad Redbird Club seats; every seat is either behind home plate or encircles the infield. Most sections have 8-15 rows of seats and the views are some of the best in all of Busch Stadium. There are two distinct seating areas that comprise the Redbird Club and they are as follows.  Big Town Tickets has many of these seats available for sale for every game. 

• Home Redbird Club – The Home Redbird Club consists of sections 247-253 (behind home plate). These are the best seats in the Redbird Club.

• Infield Redbird Club – The Infield Redbird Club consists of sections 241-246 (1st base side) and 254-257 (3rd base side).

Budweiser Brewhouse Deck

The Budweiser Brew House Deck sits across Clark Street beyond the Busch Stadium outfield walls. If you’ve ever been to Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs play, it’s a similar setup to a Wrigleyville rooftop except that it’s a bar/restaurant in Ballpark Village. The Brew House is right next to the AT&T Rooftop. There are two rows of drink rails that are sold as reserved tickets and everything else is sold as a general admission ticket. This is the perfect place to nonchalantly enjoy a Cardinals game with a group of friends, in fact, it can be rented out privately. The Budweiser Brew House Deck definitely has a party atmosphere and will also grant you access to get inside Busch Stadium but you must check in there first. Know that the view of field isn’t perfect from here, you will only be able to see maybe 65% of the field.

Branch Rickey Room

Many baseball fans associate Branch Rickey with Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, Rickey played professionally for the old St. Louis Browns, served as a Manager for both the St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Cardinals. He also went on to serve as the General Manager for both the St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Cardinals. Rickey is all that is St. Louis baseball. The Branch Rickey Room is on the 2nd floor of Cardinal Nation in Ballpark Village and is a new addition to Ballpark Village.

• If you’re going to rent out the Branch Rickey Room for a St. Louis Cardinals game, you must purchase at least 22 tickets. The area will hold up to 30 fans. The entire area is private and comes with your own balcony to watch the game across the street.

• Fans will be able to visit the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame for free before the game. If you’ve never been, this is a must visit!

• The food is all you can eat and includes salads, hot dogs, brats, nachos and select desserts; much better items than what you’ll find inside Busch Stadium. The bar items are also complimentary which will include beer, wine and soft drinks. The Branch Rickey Room opens 1 ½ before each game and fans are welcome to stay until an hour after the game ends. Unfortunately, the alcohol service stops when the game ends. 

AT&T Rooftop

The AT&T Rooftop is modeled after the rooftops that you will find outside of Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs and is one of the newest additions at Ballpark Village. The area is at the very top of Cardinals Nation on Clark Street. You will get a much better view of the playing field here than you will from anywhere else in Ballpark Village.

• Unlike the other private areas at Ballpark Village and inside Busch Stadium, tickets for the AT&T Rooftop are sold individually and there are more than 300 tickets available for purchase every game.

• The food is all you can eat and includes nachos, meat carving stations, hot dogs/brats, salads, sandwiches and desserts.

• Fans will also have access to an indoor dining area with private restrooms. There will be fully stocked bars on the inside. The bar will shut down at the end of the game although fans are allowed to stay in the rooftop area until an hour after the game ends. Fans are able to enter the rooftop area an 1 ½ before weekday games and 2 hours before weekend games.

• If there is a giveaway inside the stadium (posters, bobbleheads, etc), fans with AT&T Rooftop tickets will also receive those items.

• If you want to visit the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, you can for free if you have an AT&T Rooftop ticket. Get to the ballpark early to visit. Do not pass on this opportunity! 

Cardinals Nation Balcony

• The Cardinals Nation balcony is actually really small compared to the other Ballpark Village seating areas. It’s on the 2nd floor of the Cardinals Nation bar/restaurant and can hold twelve people or three tables of four people. The seats are reserved. Your seats won't be quiet as high as the AT&T Rooftop, so it's safe to say the view just isn't as good but if you're concerned about having a good view, buy a ticket for the game.

• The food is all inclusive and features hot dogs/brats, nachos, salads and desserts. The food service begins an 1 ½ before the game begins and stops an hour after the game has ended. The bar drinks aren’t included but can be found on the inside of Cardinals Nation. Alcohol is served until the end of the game.

• Fans are also given free admission to the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum. Be sure you also pay a visit to Midwest Live to see perhaps one of the coolest and largest sports bars in North America.

MVP Deck

The MVP Deck is basically a party tent inside Busch Stadium and is located in left center field. 

• Like the AT&T Rooftop, the MVP Deck tickets are sold individually and the area can hold up to 28 fans.

• The area includes an all you can eat buffet which opens 1 ½ hours before weeknight games and 2 hours before weekend games. The food will be available until one hour after the game. Among the items included in the buffet are hot dogs/brats, BBQ chicken and brisket, nachos, salads and desserts. Soft drinks and the beer O’Douls are also available for free. Why the Cardinals organization decided to offer a non-alcoholic beer in a ballpark named after Busch, I have no idea?

• If you want other beers and mixed drinks, they’re available until 2 ½ hours after first pitch.

Commissioners Box

The Commissioners Box is one of the most coveted sections at Busch Stadium with its dream location right next to the St. Louis Cardinals dugout in section 141. Rows A through E make up the Commissioner’s Box. There are 30 tickets available for the entire area. The seats are much more comfortable, wider and have padding. Other Commissioners Box perks include.

• Fans will have the opportunity to have their photo taken in the Cardinals dugout before the game as well as visit the playing field.

National Car Rental Club

The National Car Rental Club sits the highest up in Busch stadium among the private all-inclusive areas; along the 3rd base line above the pavilion level. There, you’ll receive plenty of perks though and will have the ability to decide whether you want to sit indoors or outdoors to watch the game. The area can hold up to 400 people and the tickets are sold individually, not as a group. You’ll also receive the following amenities.

Legends Club

The Legends Club is a party suite along the first base line. It is pretty small and isn’t that upscale of a setup compared to areas like the UMB Champions Club and Bank of America Club. The Legends Club would be ideal for office groups or families, birthday parties, etc. You’ll be able to choose whether or not to sit indoors or outdoors. Indoors, there is high chair tabletop seating with flat screen TVs all around.  The legends club is all the party rooms that can be sold seperately or all connected through open doors for larger groups.

Left Field Landing

The left field landing holds up to 28 people and is located behind section 169 in the left field corner. This is a very small seating area and the view of the field is only so-so since you’re in the deep corner of Busch Stadium. The left field foul pole will also stand in your view of the field if you’re sitting in the left field landing. You will, however, receive a ton of protection from the sun and rain due to the overhang and have drink rails to stand at.

Homer's Landing

Homer’s Landing holds up to 100 fans and is located behind the right centerfield bleachers. It’s one of the best values of all the all-inclusive areas at Busch Stadium. It provides an excellent view of the outfield and is far superior to the Left Field Landing area. There are a number of drink rails to stand at and enjoy your food and drinks while watching the game. It’s also pretty easy to figure out why they call this area Homer’s Landing. This is a great spot to catch home run balls! All tickets are sold individually.
