this is what i was referring to:

 

This is probably old hat for most people but if you are SSH and care about bobbles, you can email your rep and buy $15 vouchers for the theme bobbles or other theme giveaways. They don't advertise this and you have to ask.

 

My company has full season tickets and divides them up among the employees...He called the rep today and i can get the vouchers at some cost, and i was just wondering if i could pick the bobbles up at any time with the voucher or just buy some cheaper tickets to each respectable game

They don't really give out the bobbles any other time besides the game and some of them sell out. Peanuts is huge and so is Star Wars.

 

They might allow a pick up later if you talk to a rep. Obviously they set some aside for the SSH rewards and other random stuff, but if you don't grab it the day of you are taking a risk.

 

There's nothing to stop you from getting the bobble with your own cheaper seat though. They have no idea where you're sitting; you just grab them off a table in exchange for the voucher.

Pretty specific question Snapper, but I'm getting pretty close to taking the plunge into the Sunday+ 20 game pack. Gets me all of the SGA Bobbles plus another 11 games.

 

Now on to my question. If I exchange a game from my pack to a theme night, would I be able to purchase the solo voucher? Or does the voucher program only work if the game was originally in my 20 pack?

You could ask your rep but I'm not sure. You always have a shot to purchase the $10 vouchers at the game, but I've been to a couple where they're sold out before they even open the gates.

 

At that point I don't know why you wouldn't just do Fan's choice. It's like $20-40 more and you hand-pick each game.

Keep in mind the ticket exchange policy is kinda quirky. Pretty much can't be exchanged for any meaningful Fri-Sun games and can't exchange for holiday games. That is assuming you exchange a ticket before that tickets game has passed. If you have an unused ticket it is strictly Monday-Thursday, no holiday games. Those tickets can also only be exchanged for terrace reserved tickets. You also cannot exchange a ticket for say a September game for a July game...can only be after your season seat ticket date.

 

I have heard mixed reviews about getting around these rules. Sometimes they will be lenient, but other times it is tough luck.

 

Just get the 20 game fans choice if you have interest in that many specific games. That would hopefully cover all the games you want (though there are choice limitations to some degree).

Like I alluded to above, if you are within an hour of the stadium and a collector, the 20-pack just gets more worth it every season. I'm in one of those groups and sometimes I just don't feel like going to a game. 20 is a lot, especially for me in WA County. I'll post my tickets for free, and just tell someone to mail me one bobble. They always do it, and everyone knows the trusted members of the site.

 

I only ever keep one bobble, so I always sell the extra at the SGA games. Purchasing the vouchers ahead of time is a nice perk.

 

I'm too impatient for this, but one of the SSH rewards is always a package of bobbles from the previous year, too, including several theme nights. I genuinely think I'd keep the package alive with 1 ticket even if I moved away.

 

I had a two 20 pack tickets living in Minnesota for like 12 years because of the rewards etc but after 2018 they wouldn't let me renew. They called me a scalper and when I pointed out that I typically lost a little bit of money every year so I would be the world's worst scalper they just said that is it how it was. Usually I attended 3 games each year but would use the upgrade system so I would sell 17 games and use 3 but not sit in them. I was told by a different employee they are less interested in having season ticket holders because of the secondary market and the fact that the seats are so cheap it effects walk-up sales. etc.

That's weird and I wonder where their cut-off is. I don't make 20 games. I've probably hit 13-14 for 2 years but I definitely sell some. By the looks of it this will be the year I sell the fewest.

 

I can't believe they're not interested in SSH though. They market the hell out of those packages and it's pretty much a given that you're overpaying for a lot of seats when you do it.

I am pretty sure (let's say 90%) that you can't exchange SSH tickets for a special ticket package. You can exchange them for ordinary tickets to the same game, and see whether buying a separate voucher is an option - but as others have said, that wouldn't be as sure a thing.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Scalper level is "majority of tickets sold"...so 11/20. I am guessing the true level for consequences is probably more like 15+ and you have to do that consistently.

 

I sold most last year, but plan to eat 11+ this year so they don't come after me. I will eat $150 or so for the perks no problem...some of which are kinda priceless to me.

 

I am just not close enough to make that many games. That is probably where the real value to the Brewers is though. You buying your stuff direct from the shop, the food, parking, etc. The ticket is like a cover charge...the real profits are you buying all the overpriced junk. That is why these giveaways exist. They want you in the park.

I know this is a LONG shot, but if any of you SSH's have an extra SSH Woodruff bobble this year, I'd be willing to purchase it from you, or trade for it if that is your thing.

Every year, I contemplate purchasing a Fan’s Choice 20-pack for the sole purpose of getting the SSH rewards and breaking even on the re-sale. Thanks for confirming it is probably not worth the time.

So, counting the Elf and SSH Woodruff, we are up to 17 bobbles this year.

 

This kind of crap is what killed the card industry years ago. Just too many to collect...

50th anniversary without honoring their only no hitter... It's a crime.

 

These are indeed “moment” bobbleheads too. They released a pic of the Hank Aaron one and it was like his return to Milwaukee.

 

No one wants a Juan Nieves, fine...but make it the Yount diving catch. Too bad. Oh well I suppose.

Have vouchers coming for Peanuts Night, SuperMan Night, Bugs Bunny night, Star Wars night, and WWE night....Not sure if I can make all of the games, so if anyone is willing to help and pick the bobbles up for me I will gladly pay any shipping and anything else required...Through my works ssh rep all the vouchers were $15, but the WWE were $20 FYI

The WWE one being more expensive has me hoping that it actually is Andre choking Uecker, since that would be a bit more elaborate than a normal bobble. Really, really hoping this is the case.
