If you plan to use ballpark Will Call, it’s also not a bad idea to leave a few minutes earlier to avoid longer lines…or even come a day or two in advance. The Coca-Cola Field Box Office will be open on Saturday starting at noon.
*Entering Ballpark/Security*-With increased security and the addition of walkthrough metal detectors (click here for full security measures) please note the following:
Only official Lucas Films characters are allowed to be in full costume. Fans of all ages with full masks or props guns will not be allowed into Coca-Cola Field. Plastic laser swords and lightsabers will be allowed in.
Where do I get a laser sword?
A must-have keepsake on Star Wars Night is your very own Laser Sword. The Bisons will be selling laser swords outside of the Coca-Cola Field prior to gates opening to provide an additional laser sword location. Once you are inside the ballpark we will once again have TWO LASER SWORD REDEMPTION CENTERS at stand 121 on the 3rd base side and near section 122 on the 1st base side. A Laser Sword costs $10 each with proceeds to benefit Compass House.

New Orders A Star Wars Night Story
We found out that the reason why the Sith continue to try and take over Coca-Cola Field and it’s “Convergence” of the force every Star Wars Night. Now the Jedi must sort out the “new” Dark Side after the Emperor was defeated last year. But as we have learned…not everything is what it seems.
