Instructions

1. Purchase All-Star game tickets. In order to watch All-Star batting practice, you must have tickets to the All-Star game. All-Star game tickets are sold by the team hosting the All-Star game and are usually offered at different times throughout the year, so check the website of the host team often.

2. Get season tickets. All-Star game tickets are usually offered first to the season ticket holders of the host team. By purchasing season tickets, you'll dramatically increase your chances of getting to see the All-Star game and batting practice.

3. Get to the park early. Batting practice usually begins about 3 hours before the All-Star game. Typically, batting practice starts at 4 p.m. local time. There will be long lines at the gates, so arrive at the ballpark at least 30 minutes before the gates open so you don't miss any action.

4. Follow rules according to the host team's website. Different teams and stadiums have different rules about where you can stand during batting practice. Some stadiums allow you to move around to certain areas to get a better view of batting practice, but usually some areas are restricted. Check out the rules so you can find the best allowed place to watch batting practice.

5. Watch All-Star batting practice online. If you can't get tickets to the All-Star game, batting practice is now usually broadcast online. Check the website of the network broadcasting the All-Star game for more details.
