Brewers’ Timeless Ticket holders dispute World Series seat options
The Milwaukee Brewers are facing complaints from Timeless Ticket holders as the team prepares to play in the World Series.
In 2015, the Brewers sold 1,000 personalized bronze tickets for $1,000 each, promising entry to any home game, including a World Series game.
The team had not reached the championship series since 1982, and some buyers held onto their tickets for years.
Now, holders say some of the options offered are in upper-level sections, while others have been offered a choice of games or seats.
The original terms promised the best available seats, subject to availability, but did not guarantee a particular location.
Some holders say the process changed from earlier playoff runs, and one fan received a lower-level seat for himself after speaking with team officials.
The dispute centers on what fans expected their tickets to provide, and discussions between some holders and the team are continuing.
Milwaukee Brewers Timeless Ticket holders are disputing the seat options offered for redeeming their tickets for the World Series.

The Brewers offered Danny Fochesato an upper-level seat for one game and the option to buy three more tickets at face value.

What people are saying
I wondered what we could do to offer our fans something where we could give them the promise of being able to go to any game.
Overall, I am not satisfied
If they can redeem this ticket for me and get me to the game as I’ve pictured in my mind for the last 12 years, it would be the best thing ever
I refuse to burn that on a ticket I could’ve bought for face value
