June 1st may be a day of about 30K in the park, and 46K tickets sold. That's a huge boon for capitalism that day.

[patrickgpe]

doesn't that happen for every game? I know you can't stop people from getting their bobblehead and leaving but i wish they would do away with the rule allowing people to buy extra tickets to get extra bobbleheads.

Honestly, if one guy wants to buy 2.5 million tickets and we can get raise our payroll as a result, I'm just fine with it.

You're such a fan!

 

The Brewers don't really care. The whole point of these promotions are to sell tickets. Mission Accomplished.

As previously cited on a number of sources, no-shows can have a negative effect on revenue, as they limit the sales of parking, concessions, and souvenirs. I can't think of what they could do to prevent them, but I'm sure it has been a topic of conversation at some point.

 

[patrickgpe]

there was a time not too long ago when thats the only time we could sell tickets. Unfortunately for your arguments, the guys buying multiple tickets are the cheapest tickets in the house. The couple times i missed a bobblehead game and got one one ebay and it came with a ticket they were bernie's terrace. Thats not going to help us extend fielder's contract. Also as mentioned above, selling the cheapest tickets and having no-shows, can mean that the brewers will make less. I'd rather have everyone that wants to go to the game be able to go to and get a bobblehead than allow a oouple of losers to get 50 bobbleheads and sell them to make a couple dollars profit.

Plus there are many people who will sell their bobblehead inside the stadium for a beer or a few bucks, and they can get those and turn them around.

 

also as a general observation do you really think the brewers care that much about selling out the terrace tickets for any game. The majority of their revenue comes from luxury boxes and field level seats. I always assume that the terrace tickets were there so average fans like myself can enjoy games.

[Gopher74]

To be honest with you, I was just kidding. I really haven't put much thought into it, and I've never not been able to get a ticket to a game. I don't think this is really that big of an issue, and if just going to a game is your primary concern, then there are plenty of games you can go to where there isn't a huge crowd unfortunately. Plus, just about the only way you don't get a ticket to a bobble head night is if you walk up about 10 minutes before the game.

[Tbadder]

I will only get excited for the Barry Bonds Bobblehead! Sign him Doug!

[bjkrautk]

Pretty sure this will be the first time there's no 'retro' players in the bobble-head rotation (unless you count Barrel Man....which I'll probably skip.)

 

I'm glad they've listed the promotional dates this early; it seemed to take forever last year.

5. July 6: Brewers' original mascot, "Barrel Man," will be featured in a bobblehead.

 

Whoaaaa... I have to find a way to get my hands on this one. I'll have to store this in the memory banks.

[ILuvDaBush]

I wanted a Yo!!! Bobblehead....or a Dave Bush bobblehead. I'd settle for a Brew Crew Blue David Wright, though, if you get my drift. Notice how there is no mention of a Ben Sheets bobble...INTERESTING. :-)

[Shampoo4U]

The Ben Sheets bobble has already been done a couple years ago.

[billyhallfan]

and a couple years before that, and before that, and for the admirals, what is your point bush?

[sgtcluels]

Dave Bush bobble with real beard hair would be awesome! I would comb it every day.

[Oldcity]

I'm marking September 7 on my calendar.

 

And why another one of Fielder?

[PeaveyFury]

The rumor on the trade post forum is that it's to commemorate 50 HR's in a season.

[MillerParkSouth]

I just sincerely hope that Craig Counsel or perhaps Joe Dillon is on the magnetic schedule. hell, put Alfonso Soriano on there if it means he'll get injured!

[Leinie Lodge]

You just GOTTA love Barrel Man giveaway

[Invader3K]

They should do a 1982 Bud Selig. (Maybe that would've been better last year, though).

[ILuvDaBush]

I meant to do that in blue. Sorry. That's why I also said Dave Bush bobble would be sweet. Honestly, the guy I think should be immortalized in bobble is Yo, sporting a bat on his shoulders.

[Patrick425]

I wish they would mix the days up a little and have more non-Sunday bobble head days. Sundays are usually not good days for us to attend games.

[patrickgpe]

well it used to be on saturday's but since the brewers started guaranteeing sell outs on saturdays there was no need to have bobblehead nights that night. Sunday has always been the worse day of the weekend as far as attendance.

[Invader3K]

That seems odd. You would think Sunday would be a big day for people to come out and see a baseball game.

[patrickgpe]

well sunday is definitely a family day at the park while Friday and Saturday have definitely more of a party atmosphere. That could have something to do with it. There is a segment of people who only go to drink and act a fool.
