Major League Baseball stated on Tuesday that 13 stadiums will accept mobile tickets through Apple’s (AAPL) Passbook app during the 2013 season, an increase from just four last year, GigaOM reported. The Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland A’s, Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals will be among the teams that accept paperless tickets this summer. The MLB said that three more teams will be announced at a later date that will also support Passbook later this season. Baseball fans were quick to adopt Apple’s mobile ticket platform last season, and league executives previously predicted that sales of traditional tickets could fall to less than 10% this year, down from 55% in 2012.
