The tarps will come off the seats near the top of Tropicana Field when the Rays return for a possible Game 6 of the American League Championship Series and/or for the World Series should they advance that far.

Tickets for Game 6 of the ALCS go on Wednesday to those who won the chance to purchase in the postseason ticket opportunity through raysbaseball.com. Winners will be notified by email Wednesday morning, and the special internet pre-sale will begin at 5:00 p.m. Any remaining tickets will go on sale at raysbaseball.com, at 9:00 a.m. Thursday, if available.

Should any postseason game not take place, refunds will be issued at place of purchase. The Rays lead the Red Sox 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, after a 9-1 victory in Boston on Monday. Game 4 is Tuesday night; the Rays could potentially win the series in five games as early as Thursday in Boston.

Details of the possible ALCS Game 7 ticket opportunity are to be determined.

Fans can still register to win the chance to purchase World Series tickets until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. at raysbaseball.com. Those who have registered during previous postseason ticket opportunity registration periods need not re-register.

The World Series begins on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

While registering, fans are recommended to "opt-in" for future notifications, ensuring they will receive news of future ticket opportunities or Rays special events.

Postseason ticket packages are available to fans who place deposits toward 2009 season tickets. Call 727-342-5757 or visit raysbaseball.com for more information.
