Score Half Price Marlins Tickets Thanks To Stanton

MIAMI, FL — With the Fish only 4.5 games behind the Colorado Rockies for a playoff birth, the upcoming homestands against the last place Phillies and first place Nationals promise to be jam-packed with action. The only thing that could make these all-important games any more exciting would be if we could somehow score half price tickets behind home plate. That's exactly what's happening thanks to Giancarlo Stanton's 50th home run of the season.

In honor of Stanton's achievement, the team is offering 50 percent off select seats with the promo code "fifty." A Patch editor was able to purchase two tickets to Saturday's game in Section 14 behind home plate for only about $26 each plus service fees. The total charge was $65 for both tickets with all fees included. (Sign up for our free Daily Newsletters and Breaking News Alerts for the Miami Patch.)

Remember to type the word "fifty" in the promo field. Now choose the type of seats you want from the available list and the number of tickets. In the case of the lower level seats behind home plate, select "Home Plate Box C - 3rd" or "Home Plate Box C - 1st." Then just follow the prompts.

Stanton, who leads all of Major League Baseball in home runs, smacked his 50th on Sunday against the Padres.

He became the first National League player to reach the 50 home-run mark since 2007 with 17 in August alone. He was also named a NL Player of the Week.

The 50 percent discount with promo code "fifty," includes tickets in Home Plate Box C and G's corner seating sections when the Phillies and Nationals come to Miami.
