Brewers ‘Timeless’ Tickets Bring Joy, Frustration Before World Series

The Milwaukee Brewers will play in their first World Series since 1982 after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers hold homefield advantage, with Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 scheduled to be played in Milwaukee. Their opponent will be determined by the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians.

According to Yahoo Sports, World Series ticket prices are high. For Game 1 in Milwaukee, SeatGeek listed standing room only tickets for $2,546, while StubHub offered standing room only tickets for $2,609. A seat in section 408 is $2,959 via SeatGeek, and a seat in section 104 is $3,095 via StubHub. Ticketmaster listed a seat in section 214 for $4,329. For Game 2, StubHub listed standing room only tickets for $2,635 and a seat in section 407 for $3,042.

The Brewers' Timeless Ticket promotion was inspired by forever stamps, according to Sportico. The idea originated in 2015 when team chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger suggested offering fans something similar to the post office stamps.
