The Tri-City ValleyCats have announced that tickets for their upcoming playoff game are now on sale. Fans can purchase tickets online, by calling 518-629-CATS (2287), or by visiting the Joe Bruno Stadium Box Office. The ValleyCats will host the Sussex County Miners for Game 1 of the Wild Card Round on Wednesday, September 3 at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy. Gates will open at 5:30 PM, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:30 PM.
Should the ValleyCats advance, they will play in the Conference Finals Series starting September 9, potentially bringing more games to "The Joe." The Frontier League Championship Series is set to begin on September 16. Tickets for any games not played will become vouchers for the 2026 regular season.
Currently, the ValleyCats are in second place in the North Division, trailing the Québec Capitales by six games, but they hold the first Wild Card spot in the Atlantic Conference. Their magic number is four to secure a playoff berth, with 11 games remaining in the regular season. The team is looking to secure their second consecutive playoff berth and their tenth postseason appearance in their 23-season history.
