Diamondbacks offering $6.02 tickets for 602 Day

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced reduced ticket prices for an upcoming series in honor of 602 Day, Phoenix’s civic holiday.

For Arizona’s three-game series (June 15-17) against the Los Angeles Angels at Chase Field, fans can purchase upper-level tickets for $6.02. To get the deal, fans must buy the tickets on June 2 (Tuesday).

The first two games of the series get underway at 6:40 p.m. MST, while the finale is slated for 12:40 p.m.

The D-backs sit 32-27 and are coming off a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.

The Angels, meanwhile, are 23-38 and coming off back-to-back losses to the Colorado Rockies.

What is 602 Day?

City officials marked June 2 as a civic holiday due to the date numerically coinciding with Phoenix’s first area code, 602.

More than 350 businesses, sports teams, attractions and service providers are taking part in this year’s 602 Day.

“We had that area code back in 1947. It is Phoenix history, but also, we think, a great way to celebrate local pride,” Mayor Kate Gallego told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Arizona’s Morning News on Friday.

“We know that June is not always the busiest month for our small businesses, so we thought this would be a great way to get people out on a Tuesday, go out and enjoy our city and support those small businesses.”

The inaugural 602 Day was in 2024.
