Planning to watch the Johnson City Doughboys take on the Elizabethton River Riders? Our detailed seating breakdown helps you choose the perfect spot—whether you want budget-friendly options, premium views, or family-friendly sections. See exactly what each ticket tier offers before you buy.
Best Value Tickets (Under $25)
- GA Tickets ($20) - General admission grass seating beyond outfield with casual atmosphere. Bring blankets/chairs. Best for budget-conscious fans who don't mind limited foul ball protection.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- General Admission ($31) - Unassigned seating in 200-level bleachers along baselines. Better elevation than field boxes with good foul ball visibility. Shaded options available in later rows.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Bleachers General Admission ($40) - 300-level covered bleachers behind home plate. Premium viewing angle for tracking pitches but farther from field action. Includes cup holders.
View Comparison
- GA Areas: Closest to outfield wall but limited elevation. Great for catching home runs.
- 200-Level: Ideal diagonal view of entire field. Can see into both dugouts.
- 300-Level: Straight-on perspective best for analyzing pitcher-batter matchups.
Pro Tips
- Early arrivers get best GA spots along outfield railings
- 200-level Row 5+ avoids netting obstruction
- 300-level seats stay driest during rain delays
- Family groups should opt for 200-level aisle seats
Upgrade Considerations
For $9 more than standard GA, the 200-level provides significantly better sightlines and back support. The $40 bleacher seats offer the most comfortable seating but sacrifice some field proximity.
Final Recommendation
The 200-level General Admission ($31) delivers the best balance of price and viewing quality for most fans. Larger groups may prefer the $20 GA tickets to spread out in the outfield area.
