Fans who purchased a special ticket package for Friday night’s Orioles game will see members of the Baltimore rock band Turnstile. But the jerseys that were part of the ticket package aren’t ready.
The Orioles are hosting Turnstile Night at Camden Yards, with members of the band throwing the ceremonial first pitch and serving as guest splashers in outfield sections 84 and 86 during the game.
The ticket package, which is sold out, includes a Turnstile-themed jersey. It’s black with orange accents, with Turnstile’s name on the sleeve decal and on the back of the No. 26 jersey.
However, according to an email sent Friday morning to fans who purchased the package, the jerseys won’t be available. A supply chain issue meant the jerseys didn’t arrive in time, the email says.
The new pickup date for the jersey is Aug. 22, when the Orioles play the Tampa Bay Rays at 7:05 p.m. Fans who purchased the special ticket package will receive a complimentary ticket to the Aug. 22 game. They will receive a follow-up email in the next week or two with instructions on how to claim that ticket.
The email says, if fans are unable to attend the Aug. 22 game, the team will provide information within the next two weeks on how they can have the jersey shipped to them instead.

The Orioles worked to resolve the issue until Friday morning, at which point they pivoted to accommodating fans with a ticket offer and potential shipping.
“We were made aware of the issue earlier this week,” a team spokesperson said. “We were working to resolve the matter but unable to do so for tonight’s game so worked to offer an alternative to fans who purchased this special ticket package.”
Fans can still see Turnstile at Camden Yards on Friday. They’ll just have to wait for that special jersey.
