How can fans exchange tickets for the postponed Saturday Orioles-Yankees game under the Yankees’ rain check policy?
With Saturday’s Orioles-Yankees game postponed for a forecasted nor’easter, fans who already paid for that game have a way to use their ticket — just not at the box office.
The exchange, in short
Fans holding paid tickets for the postponed Saturday, Sept. 26 game can exchange them under the Yankees’ rain check policy. The exchange is for a similar regular-season game at Yankee Stadium — not a refund, and not entry into Friday’s doubleheader (Friday requires its own Friday-dated ticket).
📝 It has to be done online
This is the part worth flagging: the Yankees have said these exchanges cannot be completed in person at the ticket office. Fans need to handle it online instead.
What isn’t specified
The available reporting doesn’t spell out exactly which games qualify as “similar,” or whether there’s a deadline to make the swap. Rather than guess, check the Yankees’ official ticketing page or rain check policy for those specifics before assuming a particular game is available.
Quick recap
- Applies to: paid tickets for the postponed Saturday, Sept. 26 game
- Where: online only, not the ticket office
- What you get: exchange for a similar regular-season Yankee Stadium game
This is the kind of policy detail that can get updated, so it’s worth confirming the current process on the Yankees’ site before you start.
What time do Friday’s Orioles-Yankees doubleheader Game 1 and Game 2 start?
Friday’s Orioles-Yankees doubleheader replaced the postponed Saturday game, so the schedule looks a little different than a normal day at the ballpark.
📅 Game 1: 4:05 p.m. ET
The first game of Friday’s single-admission doubleheader gets underway at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Game 2: no earlier than 7:05 p.m. ET
Game 2 won’t start before 7:05 p.m. ET. If Game 1 runs past 6:35 p.m., Game 2 is set to begin roughly 30 minutes after Game 1 ends — so the actual first pitch could land a bit later than 7:05 depending on how long the opener takes.
| Game | Start time |
|---|---|
| Game 1 | 4:05 p.m. ET |
| Game 2 | 7:05 p.m. ET or later (about 30 min after Game 1, if it runs past 6:35 p.m.) |
Sunday’s game is unaffected
Sunday’s game is still on schedule as of this reporting, set for 3:20 p.m. ET — it’s separate from Friday’s doubleheader.
Because Game 2’s exact start depends on how Game 1 plays out, it’s a good idea to check the Yankees’ live schedule updates Friday afternoon for the most current first-pitch time.
