FIRST PITCH TICKETS
The St. Louis Cardinals and KTRS 550-AM, the team's flagship radio station, are pleased to announce the return in 2009 of the popular "First Pitch Tickets" program.
Every game day during the regular season the first 275 fans to visit the Busch Stadium 8th Street ticket window when it opens at 9 a.m. will be able to purchase a pair of tickets to that day or evening's Cardinals game for just $11, or $5.50 each.
Here's how it works:
- The first 275 customers at the Busch Stadium Eighth Street ticket window, located near Gate 3, at 9 a.m. on game day will be asked to show a picture ID as they purchase a voucher entitling the fan to receive two tickets at $5.50 each later that day.
- The tickets - a virtual grab bag of locations returned to the ticket office by Cardinals players, the visiting club, sponsors, groups and others - may be anywhere within the ballpark, from field or terrace level to standing room only.
- Ten minutes before game time - at 7 p.m. sharp for a 7:10 p.m. game, for instance - fans will be asked to produce their picture ID and voucher at the "First Pitch Tickets" sign at Gate 5 on Clark Street to claim their tickets and enter Busch Stadium. Tickets will be in sealed envelopes and distributed on a completely random basis. Exchanges will not be permitted.
- Tickets will be distributed at the First Pitch Tickets entrance until 15 minutes after scheduled game time.
- Fans must enter the ballpark through Gate 5, immediately upon receiving their tickets.
- Only 275 ticket pairs - or 550 tickets total - will be available for each home game throughout the 2009 season.
- First Pitch Voucher sales begin at 9:00am on the day of the game, and continue until 2 hours before scheduled game time, or until all vouchers are sold (whichever comes first).
