CHARLESTON, SC - It's that time of year again. With bats cracking, gloves popping, and weather warming, it's also time for Charleston RiverDogs fans to save some dough on tickets for the 2011 season.

Beginning at 12:01 a.m., all fans have to do is log onto www.riverdogs.com, and they can purchase their easy-to-do print-at-home tickets.

For fans that want to come to Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park in-person, the box office will open for business the following day, Wednesday, March 16, at 9 a.m. Open daily, the box office's hours of operation for the season are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Sundays from 12 noon - 4 p.m. Fans can also phone the box office to place orders by calling (843) 577-DOGS (3647).

So if your pleasure is ordering tickets online from the comfort of your own home or if you'd like to get first dibs on the best games in person, the RiverDogs will cater your every need with the season on the not-so-distant horizon.

Following a week-long season-opening road trip, the RiverDogs open the home slate, as new manager Aaron Ledesma makes his debut in front of the Charleston faithful on Friday, April 15 against the Rome Braves, an Atlanta Braves affiliate. The four-game tilt features a Magnet Schedule Giveaway, the first of 11 Piggly Wiggly Friday Night Fireworks displays, a Helm-Hat Giveaway, the inaugural Family Sunday of the season and Youth Baseball Night.

As the season heats up, fans will also be treated to our annual July 4thIndependence Day Celebration that features a massive postgame fireworks extravaganza. And per usual, the RiverDogs will treat the Charleston faithful to a bevy of great giveaways throughout the year, including the Roberto Alomar Rainbows Jersey Night on July 23 and Josh Hamilton Bobblehead Night on August 6.

In addition to individual game tickets, 2011 RiverDogs Ticket Mini-Plans will also be available. These unique plans offer an assortment of options for patrons to catch plenty of RiverDogs action while selecting a package that best suits individual desires and savings on the per-ticket price at the box office.

Here is the list of ticket packages for the 2011 season:

- If your idea of a relaxing weekend is heading to The Joe after a stressful work week, then the Lucky 13 Weekend Pack is the way to go. Fans have the choice of two 13-game packages which include approximately one Friday and Saturday date each month along with our Independence Day Celebration on July 4 and Fan Appreciation Day on September 5. For $185 per box seat, you'll assure your spot right on top of the action and save $30 on the walkup price.

- The perfect capper to a RiverDogs game is watching the fireworks hover over the scenic Ashley River and the nighttime sky, and the Fireworks Pack offers the opportunity to take in the majestic sight time and time again. This package includes all eleven Friday home games and the post-game pyrotechnics display, along with the July 4 Independence Day Celebration and Fan Appreciation Day on September 5. The cost is $182 for each box seat, $104 for Lower Reserve and $78 for Upper Reserve.

- Baseball and hot dogs go hand-in-hand, and the RiverDogs allow the duo to team once again with the Hot Dog Passport Pack. For this 10-game flex package, fans opt for 10 dates of their choice and receive a ticket to the game along with a specialized punch card which can be redeemed to savor any one of our signature hot dogs (Homewrecker, Pickle Dog, RiverDog, Bulldog, Old Smokey, Dixie Dog and Yankee Dog). On your 10th game, you will gain a place in hot dog immortality when your name is added to our "Hot Dog Wall of Fame" as a true connoisseur of the frank. The cost is $90 for each Lower Reserve seat and $70 for Upper Reserve.

- If you can't get enough of the Riley Park fare, then the Ballpark Buffet Wednesday Pack is for you. During every Wednesday home game, fans that choose this option will be able to open their bottomless pit to sample a menu of items in the comfort of the Ashley View Pub. The cost, which includes a ticket to the game, is $100 for five games, and $200 for 10 games.

- The Rivalry Pack is the perfect purchase for the Holy City's baseball die-hards who are eager to watch the Yankees of tomorrow square off against their most hated foes. Fans can see the Southern version of the Subway Series when the RiverDogs face the Savannah Sand Gnats (Mets affiliate), or the future of the New York-Boston rivalry when Charleston takes on the rival Greenville Drive (Red Sox affiliate). You can choose any combined eight games that feature these two squads, with prices ranging from $120 for box seats to $72 for Lower Reserve and $56 for Upper Reserve.

Finally, fans can make their own plan by choosing a Flex Voucher Pack. A great option for the always-busy Charlestonian, the package allows fans to purchase an unlimited number of undated vouchers which can be redeemed for any game throughout the season. All 2011 RiverDogs Mini-Plans include a discounted ticket based on the walk-up box office price and online charges.
