Playoff Tickets (latest: 2008 renewal + '07 postseason refund information sent to season ticket holders)

[rickh150]

How much is shipping? The convenience cost is like $6 a ticket and that's refundable. Yet, how much does the Fed EX cost?

[Teatoe993]

I wasn't charged any for any shipping costs. And they're (NY & PHI) shipping them via DHL to me.

[Dmiles23]

Whooo Hooo!! I just got my tickets via FedEx. Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope I get to use them!!

[twobrewers]

Just go mine via FedEx as well.

 

Suppose they are worth anything as collectors items?

[edod]

Just got mine. I wish they would have given me access to Brewer's Replay. I hope they consider including this with 40 and 20 game packs in the future as currently it only serves full season ticket holders.

 

Here's to pulling out a miracle, otherwise this is just kind of depressing.

Really? It's only for full season ticket holders? I guess I need to read the playoff ticket brochure again.

 

You are just talking about playoff tickets right? Because I'm a 20 game season ticket holder and I have used it to sell tickets for one of the games I couldn't make this year. But, I also thought it was available to us for post-season tix too?! If not, that ticks me off.

I am a 20 game pack holder and this was included in my playoff ticket packet

I can't believe it, but I got my tickets here in Arizona when I got home from work today!!!! Unbelievable!

[SteveAA]

Got my tics today via FedEx also! Out here in Eagle.

I have 3 20 packs & think I can use Brewers Ticket Replay. Couple of my games were listed when I checked.

[zingsheim]

Pretty glad I didn't order any!!

[hawing]

That Ticket Technology function on the Brewers' website is how we finally stumbled across the online postseason payment information in our account. So I'm guessing the 20 game customers have been eligible to use it all along.

 

The ticket graphics are a bit ugly (houndstooth and baseball? go together how?), but the colors are reasonably Breweresque - and of course the Brewers logo makes them beautiful overall, whether any of them are ever used or not.

[Patrick425]

Why? They don't go, you get a refund. I really can't fathom why anyone would not order them if you had the chance.

[dadofandrew]

As Patrick points out, how anyone could be happy not ordering them is beyond me.

[temke]

I haven't seen anything about what happens if they don't go. I am assuming that we get to keep them?

 

It was very surreal looking at Brewers playoff tickets...especially when the first thing I saw when I opened the envelope was the World Series tickets.

 

EDIT: People that won the lottery had the option of printing their tickets online according to a friend that scored tickets in the lottery.

[lcbj68c]

I paid for my lottery tickets last night for the division series. Naturally I picked game #1 (game 3) as there are no guarantees to a game 4. Terrace Level was best available around 9pm when I bought.

When do we get our refund? Just wondering when they are going to stop collecting interest on our money and finally give it back.

I don't have the info in front of me, I have at home. I believe the process begins next week. If you charged the tickets you will get the refund quicker than if you paid by check. I am really not concerned about any "interest" they are earning. If my calculations are correct, that come to about $0.12 for every $1,000 per day. I'm more concerned that my refund will not be credited back to my charge account before my next payment is due.

[Baldkin]

Your CC company should refund any interest they charge you on a charge that is refunded.

 

That should be done automatically, and show up on your following statement. (Yes, I used to do CC C/S for a living)

[sheethead]

Thanks!!

[BrewCityUnit]

Sheethead, I hope you are kidding. I can only imagine how difficult the process is going to be to refund everybody. I think you are asking too much by expecting it to be done the first day after the season is over. My guess would be that everyone will be refunded by next week.

[dadofandrew]

I can't believe anyone would just not put it on a card with $0 balance. I suppose some folks only have one.

[pitchleague]

well, Al, I guess next time I get a telemarketer on the phone or get one of those countless junk mails to get a credit card I should apply so I have a $0 balance credit card for next October.

 

I have a hard enough time paying my credit cards (the few that I have) now. I see your reasoning, but doesn't having a card with an open account but no balance accrued hurt your credit rating?

[theavrock]

As far as I know it helps, because it decreases your credit used to credit available ratio (which helps your score).

[pitchleague]

makes sense. I really know little about my credit score, except that it's very good. I just figured the more lines of credit you open the more "careless with money" it would appear to credit bureaus.

[Patrick425]

I can't believe anyone would just not put it on a card with $0 balance. I suppose some folks only have one.

I assume that what you mean is a 0% for x amount of months credit card. Otherwise I'm not sure why putting it on a card with a $0 balance would help? If I charged it in late Aug or early Sept (whether I had a 0 balance or not), and the billing cycle is over and my bill is due, I still have to pay it all to avoid an interest charge. However, if what Baldkin is stating is true, then I guess I don't have to worry.

Also, I believe that every time you apply for a new credit card, it hurts your credit score.
