Brewers Fans Are Mad Over A Botched Ticket Promo
Game 1 of the World Series takes place in Milwaukee tomorrow, but some Brewers fans are mad about it. In 2015, the team sold 1,000 “Timeless Tickets” for $1,000 apiece with a promise that they could be redeemed for the best seats to any one future game. But when fans went to use them for the World Series, that turned out to be untrue.
- Instead, Timeless Ticket holders were given nosebleed or standing room only tickets.
- Brewers representatives said that seats near the field weren’t available after numerous presales.
On Tuesday, the team’s president of business operations, Rick Schlesinger, who created the promo in 2015, admitted to the mistake, saying, “We did not live up to the spirit of the program.”
In an attempt to make things right, the Brewers are allowing anyone who used their golden ticket for this year’s World Series to use it again in the future. But they may have to wait awhile for a moment like this—it’s only the second time the Brewers have made it to the Fall Classic in 57 years of existence.
Brew solidarity: While the baseball Brew Crew let fans down, anyone who wants to see our Brew Crew play softball next summer can show up and sit anywhere they want.—DL
