General Brewers Discussion (Stadium, Broadcasts, Tickets, Etc)

[MickeyDavis]

The new parking system that flamed out on opening day is back starting with the next homestand

Any word on how it went? Saw smaller crowd last night, 24K paid.

I haven't seen anything on it so it must have worked ok.

Schlessinger said last night that it worked fine. At least that's the Brewers spin on it.

I went to the game today it's fine. You pull right into the lot with no stopping to pay and scan a QR code to pay once already parked. The QR codes are everywhere. It didn't work the first time then I tried again and it worked. Could pay with credit card or Apple Pay.

Do you know how it's different if you've bought parking in advance?

I think there’s a button in the ballpark app to click to activate it.

[dbrodz7]

Actually I take that back, it may have been when you scan the QR code there was two buttons one was purchase and one was activate existing pass.

Playoff tickets, Wild Card round, go on sale this Friday. Assume will be pre-sales for season holders for sure. I got 1 for Thursday, assume because bought a ticket bank through them. But email said if re-sell tickets online that will be excluded from future postseason sales.

[MickeyDavis]

So we're looking at Tuesday, Wednesday, maybe Thursday, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I wish I knew what time. They play 4 games each day the first two days. Last year the game times were the same each day, Brewers were at 6:08.

[ReasonablySober]

I think we should just skip the Wild Card round.

Same on game times. Always tentative to buy Game 2 as well as if lose Game 1, prices likely plummet. Judging from their season ticket strip prices on their website, won’t be much under $75/ticket for loge outfield and “better”.

Be curious if tickets sell better this year. I feel like there is a little more buzz around this team. I see they’re doing some kind of drive thru rally on Friday when general sales open. Murphy, Yount, Donald Driver, Brian Butch and others to be there.

Would have to think San Diego gets the late timeslot (800-ish PM). Believe the other options are 2 late afternoon slots (3pm-ish) and then the 6pm one. Its pretty much done that Milwaukee, San Diego, Baltimore, Houston will be hosting Game 1 and 2.

[MickeyDavis]

My company gave all employees a presale code to use on Thursday. I don't know what the ticket selection will be. I'll take a look but I'm still skittish until I know game times. And getting my money back re-selling isn't a given.

I agree, I think SD gets the last slot and maybe Baltimore gets the first slot. We'll be late afternoon or early evening slot.

Think I saw season ticket holders pre-sale is today and Brewers ticket holders tomorrow. I’m guessing tomorrow alot of people have codes so could be pretty picked over pretty fast, outside of maybe Terrace level. I’m also tentative without knowing game times, etc but think I can pull off Game 1 either way. Agreed that re-sell isn’t a guarantee in WC round though.

Prices were a little higher than I was expecting for the Wild Card round. Outside of bleacher seating, nothing under $100 in the first (field) level and they start at $75/ticket in the 2nd (loge) level. I think I will wait it out for game times and see if people panic sell as the game nears. There were plenty of seats I wouldn't mind available though. Quite a few in the Loge Outfield section on 3rd base/LF side especially.

[MickeyDavis]

Looks like for game 1 there are a few seats in the 100, 200 and 300 level and seats in most sections of the 400 level. Section 125 seats go for $195 plus fees. Game 2 has a few more tix available. More seats open for game 3. And a bit cheaper. Section 125 is $180 plus fees.

Tickets are actually cheaper on Stub Hub. Game 1, section 125 I see them at $175 and that includes fees. And on Stubhub game 3 tickets are cheaper than buying direct.

I'm thinking about grabbing a couple of game 3 tickets. If it's played it will be fun, if it isn't played I get my money back.

Game 3 on TickPick is slightly lower than Game 1 so I’m kinda changing my mind a bit as I was set in Game 1, partially b/c have someone lined up to go with. Game 3 would be an easy resell probably too if can’t go last minute.

Hopefully they can sell out. Feel like we’re in an age where people rather watch at home vs be in 400 level. Its been awhile since I sat up there but it gets steep and if in outfield sections you’re definitely in it for the atmosphere over views. And factor in 2 tickets in Terrace Outfield, parking will probably be $100-125 plus stadium prices once inside.

Game 2 is always a crapshoot. If lose, tickets will be on the discount. If win, opposite probably. I can’t make it to that game though.

Surprisingly it looks like advanced parking (for game 1) is "only" $35 for preferred plus whatever fees. General parking is $25. Same prices for the divisional round. No doubt would go up beyond that.

I'm definitely going to buy game 3. I wonder if game time could shift based on how many other game 3's there are (last year there were none). If there are one or two game 3's I imagine they'd both be at night. Or late afternoon and evening depending on the locations.

It will come down to the weekend before the field is finalized, we probably won't know much until then.

[Thunder Muscle]

Game 1 looks like most of the first 3 levels (outside of loge bleachers & JV Party Deck) is sold out. LF Loge Outfield still has some availability. Terrace levels is hit or miss pending the section, but assume may see some discounted offers over the weekend up there. Then again still a week until the game. Certainly seems like more interest this year vs last season.

Last year was pathetic none of my lifelong Brewers friends had any interesting in going. They all said we've already seen the wild card and we have no chance to win it all, only going if they advance.

Take it for what it’s worth, but MLB Central just said that due to the presidential debate that all Tuesday games will be in the afternoon. They were talking about the Braves and Mets game on Monday and the quirk they have to turnaround and play an afternoon game on Tuesday.
