What could be a more sizzling match than Speed Dating and New England minor league baseball?

How does baseball speed dating work?

Baseball speed dating events take place at selected weekday evening games. When you arrive and check in at the event you'll be admitted to the area where our group is seated.  Before the game you'll have opportunity to mix and mingle with all the other singles in attendance and to play a few ice breaker games, time permitting. Just before the baseball game begins, we'll move to our seats in the stands sitting in pairs (boy-girl-boy-girl, etc.) to enable you to interact throughout the inning.

As each inning concludes and the teams wrap up their play on the field, we conclude ours in the stands. Participants move on to their next pairing (introduction) marking their scorecard as to whether or not they regard the person they just met as someone they'd like to follow up with and possibly meet again. 

As with all our events, within several days, we'll email you contact info for all those with whom you've "matched."  That means that we supply contact info only if both individuals agree to the exchange.

How do baseball speed dating events differ from regular speed dating events?

Baseball speed dating events differ from traditional ones in that they are set in a ballpark and their structure is integrated to the structure of a baseball game. Participants are paired for the duration of an inning - however long or short that may be.  Because no one knows exactly how long an inning will last, that adds to the excitement and challenge!

You'll probably find that the game offers a fun and relaxed background which also serves as a natural conversation starter (and a nice diversion especially during those extra long innings, if things aren't going so great for your team).  But you’ll need to be vigilant about making the most of each networking opportunity or an inning (and an opportunity) may slip away before you know it.

With most games running nine innings (or more), you'll make even more introductions than with our traditional speed dating events.

How much does this baseball speed dating event cost? What's included?

The admission for each baseball speed dating event is just $29.95 per person (plus state sales tax where applicable).  Because these events take place at an actual game, you still need to purchase a game ticket .  With the exception of Pawtucket , RI events, you must purchase a general admission game ticket directly from the park on the night of the event. Its cost will vary from $7.00 to $11.00 depending upon the park.

For Pawtucket only, the total you'll pay us (a single online PayPal transaction) will be speed dating admission plus the cost of your game ticket and any applicable tax. There's such a demand for Pawtucket tickets that we must close registration and purchase game tickets well in advance in order to be assured seating.

You can expect as many rounds of speed dating as there are innings to the game. Yes, that's right! That means you'll likely make nine or more introductions just in the course of your speed dating match rounds. And, since there's always some socializing before and after the game, that too is an opportunity for you to connect with others on your own. (Just compare that to one of those expensive matchmaking services where they, not you, call the shots.)

How do I sign up?

Please follow this link which will bring you to our state calendars.  Select the state where you wish to attend.  Remember that as with all our events, you must sign up and pay in advance.

Remember, because our events depend upon equal numbers of men and women to facilitate our match rounds, we CANNOT accept walk-in's who just show up at the door on game day.*  Please be advised that in order to maintain matching balances, it may mean that we must cut off registrations for either sex in advance of our normal deadline. For example, once our guy count reaches 25, registrations for guys close even though women can still register (till their count also reaches 25).

*If you show up on game day without proper documentation proving prior registration and payment, we'll direct you to the team's box office where you may still be able to purchase a game ticket (only).  However, you'll not be able to sit with us nor participate in any of our activities.
