1 million tickets sold

[ilovebeer]

This the second earliest date to get to a million tickets sold, last year was the earliest , per jsonline.

Wow, that's awesome. Looks like it could be a three-peat of 3 million-plus fans at Miller Park.

Good work to all! Makes you proud to be a Brewer fan!

I think season ticket renewals were solid again, but they will start hurting when single game tickets go on sale. Nevertheless, 2.7-2.8 million should be attainable this year.

If the Brewers can stay competitive with the rest of the division for the first 2-3 months of the season, then I'd expect 3 million tickets to be sold by seasons end.

I don't think we will hit 3 million fans this year unless we are competing for a playoff spot well into August. The economy doesn't seem as optimistic as it did a yer ago.

No matter where a team is, it's still quite impressive for a million tickets to have been sold already. Makes me feel proud to be a Brewer fan!

Pretty good considering group sales and individual game tickets have not gone on sale yet.

[ewizabeff]

To be fair, advance group sales to repeat group customers have been available for about 2 weeks, via mail only until February 5, I believe.

I was more expecting season ticket renewals to decrease for 2010, due to a combination of the economy and the Brewers' relatively lackluster performance in 2009. Whichever is the case, good for the Brewers!

We may not hit 3 million fans this year, but a year ago we were basically at the tail end of the greatest economic crisis the country has faced since the GD. I don't think the economic outlook could possibly be any more shakier than it was 1 year ago.

I think the fact that we are coming off a disappointing season rather than the most exciting season in over 25 years will be the greatest reason for any drop in attendance. If we can get hot early to boos April/May interest and then stay in strong contention into August I think 3 mil is doable again. If either one of these fail to happen then we end up just shy. If both fail to happen (slow start, never bounce back) then we might struggle to get to 2.2.

They'll hit 2.2M tickets sold by May or June. 2.4-2.5M is the likely minimum, barring an end of the world scenario.
