Brewers' "Timeless Tickets" Promise Unfulfilled

In 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers sold 1,000 "Timeless Tickets" for $1,000 each, engraving each buyer's name on a bronze ticket. These tickets were advertised as valid for any future home game, including potential World Series contests. Fans were told that while accommodations for a Game 7 of the World Series might be difficult, the team would try.

Recently, fans attempting to redeem these tickets for the World Series in Milwaukee were reportedly offered only upper-deck seats or standing-room-only options. This response has frustrated many, particularly as they claim to have submitted requests before public sale, following the promotion's encouragement to redeem for postseason games prior to general sales.

One fan noted that their earliest redemption opportunity was the day before public sale, yet they were only given limited seating choices. Another fan expressed disappointment, stating that receiving the worst seats in the stadium did not honor the promise of the best available. This situation has drawn comparisons to a "Michael Scott"-like broken promise from television.

Following the backlash, Milwaukee Brewers COO Rick Schlesinger stated that fans who applied before the deadline will be contacted with an updated resolution. These fans can keep their World Series ticket for this year and also retain their "Timeless Ticket" for redemption in any future season, with the team regretting the error in communication and logistics.
