Yes. We have had the "Terrace Treat" package for 4 years now. It started out as buy 2 seats (at the season ticket price), get 2 free so it was $5 a ticket when we started it in 2008. It went up to $6 per ticket in 2010 I believe and is now $8 a ticket for 2012 season. Again, this is a very good price, but when you live over an hour away and can't make it to every game and can't sell some of the games, it gets a little tougher to eat the tickets or sell them last minute to friends. Definitely weighing our options before we renew. I believe they stopped offering the Terrace Treat deal to new season seatholders in 2010, but I could be wrong.

I was expecting an increase for our full season in the terrace, but a 25% increase was a little more than I was expecting. I thought the tickets would go up $1 each, not $2. That means my ticket package is going to cost me an extra $648 in 2012. In the grand scheme of things, $648 is not a ton of money, but coming off playoff ticket costs on top of the regular season cost, it stings more than usual, especially when I drive over an hour one way to the games. If it means staying competitive, I am OK with the increased cost, but the Brewers need to be careful about taking the fans coming through the gate for granted.

The economy has hit them so hard, they might have to weigh watching the game on a 46" TV instead of a 50". http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Don't let the economy be an excuse for a historically pathetic fanbase. It's the playoffs. Nobody should struggle to sell out a playoff game regardless of the economy.

Yeah, I had a friend of mine offer me $200 for it. I want to keep it for now anyway. I got it for $30 so I think I did OK. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I just really had no idea what it was worth, but liked it and the price was right and the guy carried it all the way to my house on a bike so I would have felt bad sending him home with it.

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j422/Jenksfan5/MillerLiteBrewers.jpg So long story short, I am pulling into my driveway with my two little boys and a guy comes up behind me on his bike and scares the crap out of me and starts talking to me about the Brewers. First asking about my Brewers plates and what they cost etc. Then he asks me if I'd be interested in an old Brewers Miller Lite neon bar sign. I said sure, but had no idea what they are worth. So he offered me the sign at a price and I said if it works, I would take it. He bikes back to his house over a mile away and brings it back on his bike in a plastic bag. The sign is a little dusty, but seems to be in good shape and works perfectly so I am happy I got it to add to my collection, but I have no idea what it is worth (not that I want to sell it), but just for future reference. I thought I'd give the collective braintrust at Brewerfan.net a try to see others opinions on it. Thanks!

I have been eyeing StubHub lately as well and Wednesday might be the clincher. I am planning on going with some friends and family on Wednesday if the magic # is down to 1 after Tuesday night. I have been to Wrigley many times, but have always driven and parked near the stadium. Thinking about taking the train this time, either driving to Chicago and taking the train from the northside to Addison or from Milwaukee. Can anyone comment on what might be the best/cheapest way to go as far as using the train?

My brother and I talked about seriously doing this the next time the Cards came to Miller Park in late August. It would be a hoot! I never understood sign stealing from the perspective that if you think a team is stealing your signs, simply change your signs like teams so often do! It is not that difficult of a concept. If your signs are being stolen, you are not trying hard enough to change them up to throw off the other team.

I hope you mean that the recovery room or hospital room has a TV because if the actual delivery room had a TV, that's nuts.Most deliveries now occur in the room you are staying unless it is a C-section. I think it is a hospitals way of trying to make you feel at home. That's why it costs $10,000 to have a baby. Someone has to pay for the flat screens! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Does anybody know if you are on the Season Ticket payment plan if you still get an entry? In reading the rules, it appears that you must be paid in full, but that won't happen until March for those season ticket holders on the payment plan like me. Maybe I should call my ticket agent?

Gallardo was my favorite Brewer http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Did it say whether or not Yo has read the law or was he just making a stand? I can see why he has concerns with his Mexican heritage and if he wants to use the ASG to make his point, it is his right as an American. American citizens have nothing to worry about other than having to show their ID if asked. People have to do it all the time to drink and buy cigarettes even if it is clear that they are of age. It can be an inconvenience, but that is about all. Sometimes I think we get offended too easily. I always say that if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Now if the law is passed and it is demonstrated that people are being harassed by law enforcement just because of their race, that is a different issue, but nowhere in the law does it say that a police officer has the right to randomly check an ID if the person is doing nothing wrong. I think Cano said it best "That's a political thing," New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano said. "I don't have anything to say about it. They already made a decision. If I say anything it's not going to make any difference." Let the state and the feds battle it out and keep sports figures out of it. (Hopefully not too political of a response http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif )

So instead you'll be supporting the respectable scalpers in the ticket re-sale zone? Can't blame someone for selling their opening day tickets to cover part of their season ticket costs. I invest about $2,000 in season tickets every year and drive from over an hour north to get to the games so if I can pay for 20% of my ticket costs to help cover gas, I just might sell my opening day tickets on craigslist. I guess that makes me a d-bag.

Well there goes my T-shirt idea. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Wasn't sure how to pull it off anyway without it being blatantly obscene.

The only thing that I would like to add is the fact that you cannot possibly say at the time the Brewers made the deal for Sabathia, they had no chance of winning the World Series. I know Sheets did not have a great track record for injuries, but at that point, he was healthy and pitching very well. The combination of Sabathia and Sheets made the Brewers a formidable matchup for any team in the playoffs. Obviously, Sheets did not stay healthy and the Brewers limped into the playoffs, but that did not make the season any less exciting in the last week. As others have stated, you can't score with the prom queen if you haven't been invited to the dance and anything could have happened in the playoffs. Trading LaPorta and change did not mortgage the future by any means as we still have a pretty decent farm system and our major league talent is still very competitive. You use prospects to build your team for the long-term and as trading blocks to push a good team over the top. The Brewers built the winner through the farm system and then went for it when they thought they had a good chance of winning it all. That is exactly how I want the Brewers to compete in the future. Would you trade Gamel or Escobar and others for Roy Halladay if the Brewers are right there at the all-star break again this year? If it meant increasing the Brewers odds of making the playoffs again this year with the chance to win the World Series, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Hoff's sale price is $1.59, but the sale is almost always going on. I think regular price is $1.99/lb. It is located on the left hand side of the road (Hwy 49) right in the middle of town right across from Dan's Villlage Bowl. If you want, they always have their weekly specials on their website www.hoffsmeats.com. You can't go wrong and the price is great.
