Fan guide

What to expect at a bobblehead giveaway

Bobblehead nights are the most limited giveaway on most promo calendars. Teams set a fixed quantity, usually somewhere between 10,000 and 25,000, and hand them out at the gates to the first fans through, one per ticket. Once they are gone, they are gone, and on a popular player night the supply can run out before first pitch or puck drop.

Plan to arrive when gates open rather than at game time. Some teams tie the giveaway to a specific ticket type or a theme ticket package, so check the fine print on the team's listing. Bobbleheads trade actively on eBay within hours of the game, which is why the same figure can cost more a week later than the ticket did.
