- By Craig Davis Staff writer

The Marlins will turn back the clock to 1993 ticket prices for the franchise’s 25th Anniversar­y Weekend celebratio­n June 8-10 at Marlins Park.

Tickets will be $4 in the Vista level — the same price as an adult general admission ticket for the inaugural Opening Day in 1993 — during the three-game series against the Padres in which the Marlins will wear original teal pinstripe throwback uniforms.

The anniversar­y weekend will feature former Marlins players, coaches and managers making appearance­s throughout the ballpark for autograph signings, selfie stations and other activities. Among them: Charlie Hough, Charles Johnson, Liván Hernández, Luis Castillo and Édgar Rentería.

“I get letters every day from Marlins fans and people who say they were at the first game. I probably got 2 million letters from people who say they were at the first game,” Hough said in February when the Marlins announced plans for recognizin­g their 25th anniversar­y. He was the starting pitcher in the franchise’s first game on April 5, 1993.

The team is wearing a special patch displayed on their uniforms throughout this season.

Additional details about activities and pricing for the three-game series revealed Thursday include:

The “LYFERS” T-shirt ticket package for Friday, June 8, which starts at $20 and is part of the LYFE Brand T-Shirt Collection (Marlins.com/Offers)
