San Jose Earthquakes Tickets
Team information
The San Jose Earthquakes are one of Major League Soccer's authentic originals—and one of the best "feel it live" experiences in Northern California. On the club’s official history page, the organization notes it was established in 1994 as a charter member of Major League Soccer. That legacy matters: the Earthquakes carry a deep-rooted soccer identity in the Bay Area, and their matchdays blend long-time supporter passion with the intensity that comes from a stadium explicitly designed for the sport.
When you go to an Earthquakes match, you're not just watching a game—you're stepping into a crowd that cares. San Jose has long been known for vocal supporters (including the "90-minutes-no-stop" style fan culture), and that energy can make PayPal Park feel loud and immediate. In a close game, the difference between watching on TV and being in the stadium is massive: you hear the contact, feel the momentum swings, and experience the tension when a late chance develops.
The Earthquakes play at PayPal Park, a soccer-specific stadium in San Jose that opened in 2015 and is widely reported to have a capacity of about 18,000. That number is vital for ticket buyers: fewer seats means the best "section + row + price" combinations can get picked over quickly—especially for weekend dates, rivalry-style matchups, and any game with added buzz.

Layout and Seating
PayPal Park is built to keep fans close to the pitch, with steep sightlines and a compact layout that helps crowd noise build and stick. When you shop on Box Office Ticket Sales, the easiest way to choose is to decide what kind of experience you want—then use the interactive seating map to find the best available fit.
Here's how to think about it:
- Supporters-side / maximum energy: If you want the loudest environment—chants, singing, and a section that's constantly "on"—choose seats near the supporters' end. This is the full-participation option and often a top choice for fans who want atmosphere over a quiet sit-down experience.
- Sideline seats (best all-around view): Want the cleanest look at the full match—spacing, build-up play, and tactical movement? Sideline seating offers the best overall perspective and is an excellent choice for first-timers, families, and anyone who prefers a more traditional view of the game.
- Corner sections (value + action): Corners can be a smart blend of proximity and price. You'll be close to attacks entering the box and get great angles on corner kicks and set pieces.
- Behind-the-goal (high drama): If you love shots, saves, and goalmouth chaos, behind-the-goal seats deliver the most "big moment" feeling—especially late, when one chance can decide everything.
- Premium/Upgraded inventory (when available): If you're making matchday a bigger occasion—date night, birthday, entertaining clients—premium listings can add comfort. These options can be limited, so when you see the right fit on Box Office Ticket Sales, it's smart to secure it quickly.
Seating-chart strategy: With a stadium capacity of around 18,000, selection can narrow quickly for popular matches. If you find a great combo of section, row, and price (especially seats together), don't wait—ready to secure your seats? Browse tickets now on Box Office Ticket Sales and lock them in before someone else does.
Location and Transportation
PayPal Park is in San Jose near the airport corridor, and transit can be a real advantage if you want to avoid parking fees. Local transit provider VTA offers an event page specifically for PayPal Park and notes that Route 60 serves PayPal Park directly, with connections to Caltrain, light rail, BART, and SJC (San Jose Mineta International Airport). VTA also notes you can take Caltrain to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station and use the pedestrian tunnel to reach the stadium (about a 1-mile / ~20-minute walk).
Parking
Driving is everyday, but the final hour before kickoff is when congestion tends to spike. If you're driving, arriving early is the easiest way to reduce stress and avoid a rushed entry. If you're parking in a structure, guidance for PayPal Park parking also notes a maximum garage height of 7 feet in certain garages, which is helpful if you drive a taller vehicle.
Public Transit
If you want a smoother matchday, transit is a strong play. VTA's Route 60 and the Santa Clara Caltrain connection are designed to help fans get to games without relying solely on parking.
Rideshare & Dropoff
Rideshare is convenient, but post-match demand often surges. Pro tip: after the final whistle, walk a few minutes away from the most congested pickup area before requesting your ride—usually you'll match faster and avoid the tightest traffic c
Arrival Recommendations
Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before kickoff. That gives you time for security screening, finding your seats, grabbing concessions, and soaking up the pregame build. For high-demand matches (weekend dates, prominent opponents), lean closer to 90 minutes early—that's when entry lines and traffic tend to ramp quickly.
Easy ways to avoid delays:
- Pull up your mobile tickets before you reach the scanners (brightness up).
- Travel light to move through screening faster.
- If you're meeting friends, choose an unmistakable landmark outside the stadium so you're not coordinating in a moving crowd.
Security and Policies
PayPal Park has a defined bag policy for events. The Earthquakes' guest services page states that any bags brought inside must comply with the bag policy; non-compliant bags must be returned to your vehicle or stored at a free bag check trailer along Earthquakes Way.
A published PayPal Park A–Z guide lists the standard allowances and size limits, including:
- Approved clear bags up to 12" x 12" x 6" (including clear backpacks/fanny packs/bags/purses)
- One-gallon clear zip-top bags
- Small clutch bags or non-clear fanny packs up to 4.5" x 6.5"
- Diaper bags (with a child)
Best practice: bring only what you need. Fewer items usually mean faster entry and fewer chances of getting stuck at the gate.

Post-Purchase Tips – Be ready for game day
- Download tickets ahead of time
- Fully charge your phone
- Bring a valid ID and payment (some venues are cashless)
- Double-check your entry gate
- Review bag policies before leaving (clear bag sizing matters)
Pro move after purchasing on Box Office Ticket Sales: text your group the plan (arrival time, transit vs. parking, and a meetup spot). It prevents the classic "we're outside—where are you?" scramble right before kickoff.
Pre-Event Planning
- Plan transit early: VTA notes Route 60 serves PayPal Park directly and connects to Caltrain, light rail, BART, and SJC—great if you want to reduce parking stress.
- Build buffer time: For popular matches, arriving early protects your experience (and your first-half minutes).
- Know your bag policy: PayPal Park has a defined bag policy and a free bag-check option for non-compliant bags, but it's always easier to travel light.
- Choose your position: Supporters' side for maximum noise, sideline for the best tactical view, corners for a strong value blend.
Tips for Game Day
- Act fast when you see the right seats: With an ~18,000-seat stadium, prime listings can vanish quickly as matchday approaches.
- Use transit strategically: Route 60 and the Santa Clara Caltrain-pedestrian tunnel route can make for a smooth matchday plan.
- Go light for faster entry: Clear bag rules help speed entry, but only if you follow the size limits.
- Rideshare exit tip: Walk a few minutes away from the busiest pickup points before requesting a ride.
