"Stars and Stripes" Ticket Program:
The Florida Marlins are proud to announce the forth season for their "Stars and Stripes" ticket program for United States military personnel and their families. Unveiled in 2003, this program allows military personnel, Active, Reserve, and National Guard, and their dependents, to attend Marlins regular season Sunday games for free. Close to 14,000 tickets have been provided for members of the United States Military and their families during the first three years of the program.
To receive their complimentary tickets, eligible military personnel, or dependents, must present their military ID (DOD or Homeland Security cards) at the Gate F box office at Dolphin Stadium, on the day of the game, at least 1 hour prior to the start of the game. This program is good for every Marlins Sunday home game and tickets are subject to availability.

Strike Zone will encompass the entire Gate H plaza area and open 1½ hours before the first pitch during all weekend home games in 2008. Strike Zone features everything from live bands to domino tournaments to celebrity autograph sessions and much more, encouraging fans to arrive early and enjoy themselves before the game.
On Friday nights before the game, Fiesta Latina will feature a live salsa band, as well as Dominando con los Marlins (dominoes tournaments), and free dance lessons for fans to participate in. After the games on Friday, the Strike Zone will reopen and host a 10th Inning Party with live entertainment for one hour after the conclusion of the game.
On Saturday nights, fans will be receiving a giveaway for their cars when they enter the parking lot AND another giveaway when they walk in the stadium.
