Ticket Info
DLL has reserved 4,000 tickets for the game, but they will be going fast. One thing we've learned from previous years is that it is virtually impossible to accommodate requests for tickets after the money has been turned in and tickets allotted.
Tickets are $7 for an upper reserve seat and there is no limit to the number of tickets you can purchase. Kids under the age of 2 do not need a ticket unless you want them to have their own seat.
Completed ticket order forms and money for each team are to be turned into the Crittenden concession stand on Sun, April 23 from 1-3pm (if not before). It will not be possible to process any orders after 3pm on Sun, Apr 23. Contact your team's National's Parade Day Coordinator or manager to place your ticket order now!
Tickets will be available for pickup by your team's National's Parade Day coordinator (not by individual parents) beginning on Wed, May 3rd through Sat, May 6th at the Crittenden concession stand. The Crittenden concession stand is open anytime there is a game at Crittenden. Team coordinators should then distribute the tickets to the families on their team.
Don't get shutout!!! Be sure to turn in your ticket requests and money to your team's National's Parade Day coordinator on or before Sun, Apr 23.

Transportation Info and Where to Report (RFK Stadium Staging Area - FINAL Sat, Apr 29)
You are responsible for arranging your own transportation to RFK Stadium since no transportation is provided by DLL. You should probably leave yourself 1-1.5 hrs to get to RFK via car or metro from the Ashburn/Crittenden field area. Click here for general information on RFK Stadium from the Washington National's website, including a map of the staging area.
If you drive to RFK:
- Park in Lot 8 which is the lot at the end of East Capital Street. Parking Lot 8 will open at 10:30am.
- Look for Lot 8A, which is the Little League parade staging area. Lot 8A is adjacent to Parking Lot 8.
- Lot 8A is fenced in and has a sign that says "Media Lot".
- DLL is in Group "C", and we are the only ones in that group.
- The gates at RFK will open at 11:30am.
-
Be advised that getting there by car can be a bit tricky due to road closures on game days.
If you take Metro:
-
Take the Blue or Orange metro lines to the Stadium-Armory metro station.
- Follow the signs and crowd out of the Stadium-Armory metro station and proceed towards the stadium.
- When you get to the stadium main gate, turn right and head down the stairs. Go past the ticket windows, and look for Lot 8A.
- Lot 8A is fenced in and has a sign that says "Media Lot".
- Be advised that parking at the metro stops closest to the Tyson's area can also be a challenge, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time.
