You may think of using your points and miles for travel, but there are numerous other ways to use them. For example, you can even redeem Capital One miles for baseball tickets.

And while these redemptions don’t typically offer the best value for your miles, there is an exception: You can snag field-level baseball tickets for just 5,000 miles each through cardholder exclusives.

Here’s how you can score these baseball tickets with your miles.

How To Redeem Capital One Miles for Field-Level MLB Tickets

You’ll find these tickets in the Capital One Entertainment portal, and you need to be logged in to check seats and pricing. From here, you can redeem Capital One miles for numerous tickets — some of which cost far less than 5,000 miles each. The best deal comes with specially-priced field-level tickets.

These cardholder-exclusive tickets are typically available for the following 2 months, meaning availability right now is for games in August and September of 2024. Tickets at these special prices can disappear quickly, as there are usually just 4 of them available at each game.

Where are these seats located? They’re usually a few rows behind 1 of the 2 dugouts, though the precise location changes at each stadium.

For example, at the Angels’ stadium in Anaheim, California, you’ll find tickets in section 110, row G.

At the Rangers’ stadium in Arlington, Texas, however, you’ll find cardholder tickets in box 22, available in rows 13 and 14.

Is It Worth It?

We value Capital One miles at 1.8 cents apiece. Most redemptions in the Capital One Entertainment portal provide a value of 0.8 cents per mile — which is less than half of that number.

Looking at the cash cost for the August 13 game between the Angels and Blue Jays highlighted above, those same seats are selling for $220 each. Redeeming 5,000 miles here provides a value of 4.4 cents per mile. That’s an abnormally high value.

Hot Tip:

Wondering what the best ways to redeem Capital One miles are? Our guide can show you numerous options for using miles at top value.

Final Thoughts

We typically recommend using your points and miles for travel, avoiding sub-optimal redemptions in entertainment portals. There is an exception, however, when you can use just 5,000 Capital One miles for MLB tickets to see your favorite team — or just redeem at great value for a fun family experience.
