Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano spent a lot of money to become the new owners of the San Diego Padres.

A record-breaking $3.9 billion to be exact.

Thankfully, you won’t have to drop nearly that much to attend games at PETCO Park this season.

Based on our findings, tickets to see Mason Miller, Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. live in America’s Finest City from June through September start anywhere from $18 to $103 including fees on SeatGeek.

Better yet, you can score freebies at a number of games all summer long.

Just a few of the most notable to keep an eye out for these next few months include:

That’s not to mention the bucket hats, plush keychains, T-shirts, ponchos and water bottles the Padres have planned for their fans.

In the event you’ve never been out to PETCO Park, you’re in for a treat. The ballpark is located right next to the city’s waterfront, boasts eye-catching skyline views and is home to the inviting Gallagher Square which has an expanded kids playground, dog park, picnic space and 35-foot bat made of steel and wood.

“Petco Park truly is the perfect ballpark” USA Today raved. “…it’s impossible to have a bad experience there (unless you’re a Dodgers or Giants fan).”

Just a few of our favorite places to eat on the premises include the savory pie shop Pop Pie Co, the Japanese curry spot Coco Ichibanya, the always tantalizing Mini Donut Company, the mouth-watering Spiro’s Mediterranean and, of course, the fan favorite Seaside Market that has the popular tri-tip nachos and banana bread pudding helmets.

Don’t forget Hodad’s mega burgers and mountains of onion rings either.

Sounds like Jones and Feliciano made the perfect investment.

Will you, too?

We certainly hope so, Friar Faithful.

See ya at the ballpark this summer.
