Brewers’ Timeless Tickets Draw World Series Scrutiny

The Milwaukee Brewers’ first World Series appearance since 1982 has renewed attention on the team’s 2015 Timeless Ticket promotion, which sold 1,000 passes for $1,000 each and promised admission to any future home game. The Brewers are honoring redemption requests, generally providing one entry with the option to buy up to three additional tickets at face value, and some holders are celebrating plans to attend, including Game 1 and multigenerational family trips. However, holders say World Series options have been limited mainly to terrace-level or standing-room tickets, which they believe fall short of the promised “best available” seats; one declined to use his ticket, while another secured corner seats and bought additional tickets separately. The situation has brought both the emotional payoff of the decade-old promotion and frustration over how its seating terms are being applied.
