The wait is over. This year’s much anticipated Opening Day road trip to Washington, DC to see the Phillies take on the Nationals will take place on Monday, April 5th and tickets are on sale now!
The game starts at at 1:05 pm in DC, so we will be leaving from the P Lot at Citizens Bank Park at 7am sharp to avoid rush hour traffic.
Tickets cost $82 and include:
- Seat to and from DC on a comfy motorcoach showing classic Phillies videos
- Tickets to the game in Section 107
- Tailgate party in parking lot and refreshments on the bus (including some fancy beers)
- Lots of Phillies and Phillies Nation giveaways
Click here to reserve your spot today! And if you live in the DC-area, come meet us for just the tailgate or game.
Also, be sure to check out our discounted tickets to Darren Daulton’s Darts Tournament at McFadden’s next week.

Were you guys able to get tickets already because you’re a group? It seems like single-game tickets aren’t on sale yet for the Nats…

ChuckS,
Logistically you’d be better off driving there because It’s like an extra hour or so of a drive from Philly as compared to HBurg. But, if you want the full Phillies experience you could do the bus. But, we are leaving at 7AM exactly so you’d have to leave at like 4am to make it on time.

Does anybody know when single game tickets go on sale for the Nats? Not that I should really be worried, because last year’s Nats home opener I got great seats by just going to Nationals.com on the morning of the game. They can’t give those things away, apparently.

I tried to contact you guys through the website, but there’s no form to fill out. Interested in the bus trip, but would like to know more details about the tailgate party (if any food/beverages are included). Also, how many more seats you guys have available, I have a decent size group of people interested.

I was wondering if you would be adding another bus for the trip? I bought tix to the game and tailgate but would love to take a bus instead of driving there. Thanks.

Hey guys, I live in DC and I am going to get tix through you guys. How do I actually get the tickets from you once I order them? Will you mail them to me? or am I just going to have to get them from you in the parking lot once you guys get to DC?

Never mind, all you guys had left was 5 tix so I just bought 14 tix on StubHub in section 107. See you guys in the lot and in the stadium. GO PHILS!!

I tried emailing with some questions before signing up for this trip…I just want to be sure what is covered for the $82?? All food? All drinks and beer? Plus the tickets and bus ride? Seems like an incredible price for all of that so wanted to check in. Can someone email me with more information at pokerface1207@hotmail.com.
Thanks

If these guys are sold out or if you’re looking for a larger group of tickets, I would check out Phillytailgate.com. They have sold out 6 full buses already and say they have a ton more tickets. There package is $99 and includes bus, ticket, tailgate. Beer and snacks on the bus. A fully catered all you can eat and all you can drink tailgate party with live entertainment or a dj or both, i don’t remember off hand. I even think the Mummers are going to be there to lead a parade to the stadium pregame. they have lower level tickets together. I’ve travelled with them before too and the tailgate is incredible.

Is there any chance of another bus being added by PhilliesNation? I am considering going, and will buy a ticket from PhillyTailgate.com, but they are $20 more. So I just want to see if there is a chance of getting a ticket from here before buying a ticket from them.

Phillies Nation has not disclosed whether another bus will be added.
Price includes ticket, roundtrip bus ride, some beer for the bus, hot dogs, hamburgers, and beer (lots!) for tailgaiting, and giveaways.
You can park in the P lot at Citizen’s Bank Park.
Phillies Nation will email you to see whether you’d like the tickets mailed to you or if you want to get them at the buses.

I am seeing some disgruntled people on your facebook page. They got their tickets and were not in section 107 as promised. Are we sitting in section 107 or did we get moved to another section

I got my tickets and they are in section 420 row N. That is far different than section 107 which was shown when purchasing. I am not very happy about it especially when the price shown on the tickets is $13. I sent some e-mails and am waiting for a response.

I too have just received my tickets, 4 seats in Section 227 with a face value of $25.00. Yet the invoice that was enclosed is for $152.00. Needless to say, I’m not thrilled about this. I could’ve gotten better tickets on StubHub had I known this was going to happen.

Like john I also ordered tix for the lower section only to receive sec 420. 32 bucks for 13 dollar seats. not to mention false advertising. Wtf! Last time I ever come to this site. I want a refund

I am not in section 107 either. Are we sitting alone? The whole idea was to be with Phillies fans together. Also, I paid for the tailgate and cannot find where this will be in DC?

Dave, Paul, John, Ray or Bill V,
Do you have an e-mail address? I recieved my tickets and they are in the 400 level as well. I too sent an e-mail and have recieved no response about this issue. I feel a little miffed. But I do feel Brian can make this right. So let’s hope we hear from him soon.

Hey, very nice website. I actually came across this on Ask Jeeves, and I am stoked I did. I will definately be returning here more often. Wish I could add to the post and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment.
Thank You
