I remember stating last year that I was pretty sure I wouldn't want a photo of me to appear on a game ticket, but after seeing how it worked out for the winner of that prize (whose photo appeared on the season tickets for the division clincher), I might not turn it down, if offered.

Adam McCalvy's synopsis of what the winner of spending a day with him would get proved quite amusing to me: "one very unlucky fan will shadow me for a day, which entails loitering on the field during batting practice, spitting sunflower seeds at Haudricourt and eating brats all night up in the press box."

 

I could see myself doing all of those things. The owners seats would be pretty sweet, too. I know you want to manage the mini-sausage race, hawing. :p

Hahahahaha. And here I was going to invite you to be in the mini-sausage race. Just for that, I'd better be one of the three friends you invite to sit with you in the owner's seats.

 

I'd totally shadow Adam McCalvy. I could look down on our regular Friday/Sunday seats. And I've seen (though not sampled) that sundae bar they have in the press cafeteria.

I talked to my ticket rep about this last year when it was all over and he said the majority of the "winners" were corporate season ticket holders. We didn't go into if it just happened to work out that way or if they "planned" it that way. Either way, I'm not optimistic one bit so I'm not even going to look at the posted list of prizes.

[Outlander]

The Brewers would have legal issues if they planned for corporate sponsorships to win all of the prizes. Also remember that no purchase is necessary for the many that do not have season tickets.

[strawbossisevil]

So it says "exclusively for season ticket holders" and then a bit later "no purchase necessary" and that you can enter the drawing via mail. Those two statements don't seem to jive so much, do they?

[dadofandrew]

You have to have a "no purchase necessary" option in WI, I do believe. Only exceptions are raffles for charity.

My friend won the mini sausage races last season. He said it was a pretty fun experience. On a semi related note, Im thinking about picking up a 10 pack tomorrow (since im out of state) and I was wondering if I would need to buy a package for my son too, hes under 2 years old, not sure what the ticketing rules are for children.

[trwi7]

I don't think he needs a ticket as long as he sits on your lap.

What if you don't know any little kids? I doubt they'd let my 250lb body into one of those mini sausages.

I'm also scared of heights so the roof tour and Bernie's slide wouldn't be that exciting of prizes for me. Neither would the pizza or sausages.
