In case you were having a severe case of FOMO regarding Opening Day for the Milwaukee Brewers, the team just threw you a lifeline.

The Brewers announced they are putting about 1,000 tickets for the March 26 game against the Chicago White Sox at American Family Field on sale. In addition, more tickets for the second and third games of the season, March 28 and March 29, have been made available for purchase.

You can buy them by visiting brewers.com/tickets.

The tickets became available from what the team had previously reserved for expected or potential attendees.

The Brewers pricing for Opening Day kind of shocked me. My kids have off for Spring Break so considering going and $125 for Terrace Reserved seats, Worse than the playoffs and that is face value.

Dynamic pricing is such a plague. The worst part is that these tools are using the secondary market to price, so you can't avoid the scalping.

My brother and I grabbed a couple of SRO tickets a few days ago for $40ea when they released more. We did poke around looking at some other seats but figured we wanted to walk to stadium to check out any updates as it is so we took the SRO. The prices to be seated are high for sure :(

Agreed.  Dad and I go to 1 game per season and we like day games since the folks are in Madison.  They have the 1/2 price kids and seniors deal for the day games but with the price gouging they always pull on those days, it is not any cheaper at all.  

I really miss printed tickets and the scalpers by Helfaer Field.  We would always show up and score good seats for well below face, did it for decades.

1 - I hate it so much.
2 - One can avoid the scalping if one doesn't go at all. They are merely responding to market forces in order to make as much money as possible.
3 - The recent legislative and executive movement on this front demonstrates elected officials are responding to public interest, at least. Not only with tickets, either. But who knows where that ends up.

A Brewers ticket should always be worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Dynamic pricing often works both ways. If people aren’t buying tickets to see the Marlins on a Tuesday night, prices are lower.

Ticketmaster abusing it’s position as a monopoly provider of ticketing services is entirely different than dynamic pricing.

We do want the Brewers to have revenue to invest in the team. 🙂

Plus, there are plenty of discount opportunities available throughout the season.
