9-Pack Question (Opening day tickets?)

[MillerParkSouth]

Not sure if this is the appropriate board for this, but here goes...

 

On the 9-packs it says that they include a bonus 10th game (opening day) while supplies last. In the past, how fast have the opening day packs sold out? I'm thinking about buying a weekend package, but I want to make sure to get opening day included. Does that mean that I have to buy them pretty much right away (now)?

[hawing]

Well, the Brewers' website says the 9-packs went on sale at 9:00 this morning (about 25 minutes ago, as I type), and described them as "popular." Link

 

So if I were in your shoes, I would not wait long to decide on a 9-pack. It looks like the "bonus" game for each 9-pack is Opening Day.

If you really want to go to opening day and you're pretty sure you're going to get a 9-pack anyway, I wouldn't wait if I were you.

I just got a weekend 9 pack and they just assumed I wanted Opening Day as the free 10th game. I think they are going to have plenty of Opening Day tickets with the 9 packs unless 20 game and full season ticket packages are way up so far this year.

 

Last year I got my 9 pack the day before the general public on sale date and ended up with opening day tickets 4 rows back from where our normal seats were.

^^^ That is good to hear! I just placed my order, so hopefully when they call me to confirm, opening day is still available, especially considering i already know i'm missing the first game of my package! Is it April yet????

My ticket rep was really awesome. If anyone wants his number I can give it to you. (He asked if I could spread the word for him).

[MillerPark]

I had a ticket rep call me a week ago and asked me if I wanted to purchase the 9-pack before it went on sale to the general public. He knew I'd probably want a 9-pack based on how many games I went to last year (I buy tickets with my Master Card, so they knew that info).

I have considered buying at least a 9-pack for the past couple seasons, so this year I decided to go for it!

Miller Park South...if you haven't already, go for the $100 preferred parking also...I think that's a pretty good deal when you consider it's only $10 per game (when regular parking was $8 last year).

Dumb question: Does anyone know if the seats you get for Opening Day are the same as the other ones you get with the 9 game pack?

You used to, when packs didn't automatically include Opening Day. Now that they all include opening day no matter what, you most likely won't have the same seats, but you'll be in the same section.

[colbyjack]

My opening day seats were the same exact seats as all of the other games I got.

 

Also, I got my package for Christmas as my wife contacted the ticket office in mid-December to get my 9-pack, and it came with the goofy little Brewers nutcracker Christmas ornament. They've had them for sale for a few weeks now for those that inquired, but didn't make the public announcement/on-sale date official until today.

 

Just something to remember for next year for those looking to ask for what they really want for Christmas http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

i had the 9 game back the last few years, but this year i moved up to the 20 game pack.

You're the lucky one then. Really if you think about it, there's what, 5 different packages for 9 game packs? That means they can sell that block of seats essentially 5 times, but if all 5 of those include Opening Day, 4 groups have to be moved to different seats for that one shared game.

[dadofandrew]

This will pretty much ensure Opening Day is close to a sell out before single tiks go on sale, which I am sure they will try and make the 2nd game very popular as well. The 3rd game is a bobblehead, so they are looking to have a huge weekend to open up '08.

My sister and I are splitting a 9 pack, with a set of four seats. Should be a fun season (hopefully).

[jlau20]

Would it be better to call on the phone (would I get to pick a different section)? I'm online right now and I don't really want 423, so I'm thinking I might just call tomorrow.

[Invader3K]

It seems like calling is easiest...like, we wanted seats on an aisle, which we weren't quite able to get, but the seats we got are only two in from the aisle, so good enough.

[gypcasino]

I'd like to get some people together to split a full season package in the terrace. See my post in the Trading Post if you're interested.

[Blancofan1]

My rep told me when I called for my 20 game that over the phone they don't charge you the $20 or $30 processing fee like they do online. If anyone wants his number, just PM me.

How many opening day tickets do you get with a 9 game pack? If you have 4 tickets for each game do you get 4 opening day tickets? I bought 4 tickets for the Saturday Plus 20 game pack and it does not come with opening day and I found out today that I can only get 2 opening day tickets during their pre-order period for season ticket holders. Kind of bummed about that.

Does anyone know if UW-Milwaukee students can get their and additional 9-packs at half cost?

[owbc]

Finally decided to get a Friday 9-pack with my Dad and brother this year. The free opening day tickets and the chance to buy playoff tickets make it irresistible.

Not sure if this has been posted already

Brewers end home opener package deal

[homer]

I bought the Friday package with a fellow FIB. Looking forward to the season!

[Crew2323]

I'm glad I got mine when I did (about two weeks ago). Unless you have some sweet connections, I'd imagine opening day tickets are going to be pricey from this point on. I got mine, so I'm good!

 

If you purchased a 9 pack, which package did you purchase? I bought the Premier Plan.

[dadofandrew]

You can still get opening day tickets with a 20 pack or more.
