  3. Fans can then "Send" or "Resend" the verification email to their MLB account OR enter the email address of a ticketing account which (s)he wants to verify in order to access tickets.
  4. An email will be sent to that address asking the user to verify that address by tapping on a one-time link.
  5. The account will then be verified and upon returning to the Ballpark app, the fan will have access to their tickets.
How can I remove a verified account?

During the verification process, if you've incorrectly added the wrong email address OR would like to remove a secondary account that you've linked to you can do so within the app by:

  1. From the Ballpark app Settings, navigate to the "MLB Account" page by tapping on the settings icon in the top right corner of the "Home" tab.
  2. From the "MLB Account" page, fans can tap on the "Remove" link. This will unlock all verified emails with a (-) button next to each.
  3. Tap on the (-) icon next to the email address you wish to remove.
  4. This will bring up a "Remove" option to the right of the email address. Tap "Remove" to verify the change.
  5. You should no longer see the email address.

Important Note: While you can remove secondary email addresses, users cannot remove their primary email address (the one used to login to the Ballpark app).

Scanning a ticket while at the Ballpark
