"With the improvements and promotions we are planning for 2015, our fans will enjoy even more value with the same affordable prices that make the game day experience at Modern Woodmen Park so memorable - along with the most liberal ticket exchange policy around!"
Individual tickets are scheduled to go on sale during spring training and will again range from $6 to $14 on game day, with the option to save $1 per ticket by purchasing online or in advance of the day of the game.
