Senior Slugger Program, Pres. by AARPPA, Set for 5th Season
WASHINGTON, Pa. (March 11) – As anticipation builds for the release of the full 2026 promo lineup on Monday, the Washington Wild Things are excited to announce the return of the Senior Slugger Program, presented by AARP Pennsylvania, which offers fans age 50 and older a free ticket to every Wednesday home game. The program, entering its fifth season, will feature eight Wednesday games in the summer of 2026.
The schedule allows for fans 50 and older to get up to eight free tickets for themselves while others can too. Fans must reserve tickets in advance by calling the box office or going to the link they’ll receive in an email that goes out to registered seniors leading up to the Wednesday home game on the schedule.
Once single-game tickets go on sale Monday, March 16 at 10 a.m., registered fans will be able to reserve their tickets for the first Wednesday home game of the season, which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20 at 6:05 p.m. against the Florence Y’alls. From there, registered fans can reserve tickets for each following Senior Slugger Program Wednesday home game up to two weeks prior to the game, with the lone exception to the rule this year following the June 24 home game. Fans will be able to reserve for the July 22 home game immediately following the June 24 game.
Fans who have previously registered for the program over the last four seasons DO NOT have to re-register for the program. Only new fans will need to register on the team’s website here.
“We have seen the brand resonate and grow with the Senior Slugger members,” said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “As this program continues annually, we have developed fans who have a newfound passion for the ballpark and the social aspect the game offers. The success of our Senior Slugger Wednesdays has been astonishing.”
All fans at Wednesday home games will continue to enjoy “Dollar Dogs” thanks to Berks Foods. The Pennsylvania Lottery and Concordia Lutheran Ministries are also contributing partners to the program the Wild Things would like to thank.
Wednesday home games, as previously announced, will start at 6:05 p.m. Gates open at 5 p.m.
