San Diego, CA–The San Diego Padres have unveiled plans for their highly anticipated 2025 FanFest, presented by SeatGeek, scheduled for February 1 at Petco Park.
The event will feature Padres autograph signings, and activities involving players, prospects, alumni, and broadcasters.
FanFest is free, but attendees must secure digital tickets in advance at www.padres.com/FanFest. Fans may claim up to four complimentary tickets, accessible through the MLB Ballpark app starting January 27. To accommodate as many fans as possible, tickets are limited to four per person, with entry times at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m.
Gates open to the general public at 10 a.m., while Padres members can enjoy early access starting at 9 a.m. Free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in nearby Padres-owned lots, including Premier Lot, Tailgate Lot, and Padres Parkade. Spaces are expected to fill quickly.
Autographs from Padres players and alumni will be available during morning and afternoon sessions at designated locations throughout the park. While not guaranteed, maps of autograph stations will be provided upon entry. Fans can attend three Q&A panels featuring players, coaches, and executives on the Sycuan Stage in Gallagher Square, beginning at 11 a.m.
The Padres Foundation Garage Sale, a popular feature of FanFest, will return in 2025. Located in Park Blvd. Plaza, the sale offers memorabilia, collectibles, and unique items, with all proceeds supporting the Padres Foundation’s charitable initiatives.
Fans can enjoy various on-field experiences, including running the bases (ages 14 and under), catching fly balls in the outfield, and exploring the newly renovated Western Metal Building.
Additional attractions include tours of the Grounds Crew Garage, photos in the home dugout, a Padres-themed 360-degree photo booth, visits with the PawSquad, interactive experiences, and concessions.
KidsFest activations, face painting, and clinics at the Play Ball Wiffle Ball field will keep young fans entertained. The Padres Hall of Fame, Breitbard Hall of Champions, and CIF Baseball and Softball exhibit in Section 114 will also be open. Select concessions will operate on the Main Concourse, with season ticket members receiving a 10% discount on purchases.
Standard security protocols will be in place, and re-entry is permitted with screening upon return. Fans are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the MLB Ballpark app, as tickets must be scanned digitally for entry.
