Brewers On Deck 2010?

[Dmiles23]

I just checked my email, and I had an email from the Brewers telling me that tickets for the Brewers On-Deck 2010 go on sale tomorrow. The event isn't until January 31. Why in the world are they starting to sell tickets for this already?! The event is 5 months away. What is the sense of getting tickets this early?

Early cash flow to help pay for off-season expenditures, I assume.

I noticed the On Deck announcement on Facebook too. My first thought was that they're trying to reach the fans who (given the team's 2009 fortunes) are turning their attention to football, before they get completely tied up in football. Invader's "early cash flow" theory also makes sense.

 

It's no farther in advance than inviting people to line up at MP in February for single game tickets to September games, I guess.

I'm gonna think cash flow isn't the issue - all the proceeds go to charity.

I assume they will also have another Winter Warmup the night before. This years sold out and was pretty fun.

Usually it's easier to sell tickets to things when there are 40,000 people going through the gates for another month....

I gotta be sure to get into the Winter Warm Up this year...I kept putting off getting tickets until they were sold out, and it looked like a good time. This year I'll plan to get them right away.

I definitely think they want to get to as many fans as they can before Wisconsin's eyes fully turn to the Badgers and/or Packers. One thing I noticed about the advertising was that there were no pictures of Fielder to be found. It was Braun, Yo, and Parra. I'm sure I'm just reading too much into that, but I found it amusing.

Can I get tickets for On Deck at the stadium or only online? I'd like to avoid the extra fees...

Because this topic is going to have ongoing interest, I'm going to pop it into the Designated Threads List.
