LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The A’s were throwing baseballs and taking swings at Spring Training in Mesa, Arizona Wednesday while team business workers were planning their second season in West Sacramento and promoting six regular season ballgames in Las Vegas in June.

A’s are encouraging fans to “grab a six-game ticket pack and take home an exclusive promotional item at every game.” Presale ticket packs go live Feb. 18 exclusively for fans on the priority access list. If you sign up to secure a spot you can get your tickets before the general public.

With Spring Training moving into gear, the A’s are hyping two three-game series at Las Vegas Ballpark June. The A’s will host the Milwaukee Brewers June 8, 9 and 10  at the 10,000-fan ballpark in suburban Summerlin and the Colorado Rockies will visit the same venue to play the Athletics June 12, 13 and 14.

During the Spring Training, the A’s will visit Las Vegas Ballpark to play the Angels March 7 and 8 during the “Big League Weekend.”
