Brewers Fan Cashing In On 'Timeless Ticket' Purchase For 2026 World Series Seat

In Short: The Brewers organization has received an unprecedented amount of emails from fans requesting to redeem their 'Timeless Tickets.' Some fans were led to believe they would be able to select from premium lower-box seating, but many found their options limited.

Nate Holzman, a lifelong Milwaukee Brewers fan, is set to attend Game 1 of the World Series after redeeming a 'Timeless Ticket' he purchased 12 years ago. Holzman, originally from Oak Creek and now living in Los Angeles, was one of 1,000 people to buy the embossed 'Timeless Ticket' from the Brewers in 2015.

In 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers sold 1,000 'Timeless Tickets' for $1,000 each, promising buyers a seat to any future home game at American Family Field. The tickets could be redeemed for the best available seat locations, subject to ticket availability at the time of redemption.

Holzman decided to cash in his ticket after attending Game 3 of the National League Championship Series in Los Angeles. He noted that his daughter is the same age he was the last time the Brewers made it to the World Series in 1982.

Meanwhile, another fan, Fochesato, expressed disappointment with the redemption process. Fochesato said he was given a form the day before tickets went on sale to the general public, leaving him with limited options restricted primarily to the terrace level and standing-room-only.

Jack Stacker, another 'Timeless Ticket' holder, described his experience as difficult. He said he called the ticket line around 9 a.m. but got busy lines all day, and only nosebleed seats were available because the rest of the tickets had been sold in the presale.

Kevin and Kyle, who purchased their tickets in 2015, knew all along they would patiently wait for the perfect time to use them—a World Series in Milwaukee. They expressed hope that the Brewers would honor the original promise of premium seating.

The Milwaukee Brewers are making their first trip to the World Series since 1982, and they will play either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays.

Schoenfeld, another fan, said redeeming her ticket gave her one World Series ticket and the opportunity to purchase up to three additional tickets at face value. She exclaimed, “I’m like, oh, heck no! We’re so going!”

The 'Timeless Ticket' also allowed the owner to purchase up to three additional tickets for face value, subject to ticket availability at the time of redemption.

Fochesato expressed his wish that the process would have been easier and that they could have gotten better seating. He said, “For them to not really honor it in the original way... doesn’t feel right. My dad is 76, so this is probably the last chance.”

Background

What's confirmed

• Essentially, Milwaukee was asking fans to bet on a future that looked awfully uncertain at the time. 🚨In 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers sold 1000 “Timeless Tickets” to fans for $1000 each that could be used for ANY game in the future The Brewers confirmed they are honoring "Timeless Ticket" redemptions for World Series games pic.twitter.com/gH5i31CUIi Meanwhile, the Pirates didn't need to sell their fans hope.
• For the first time since 1982, the Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the World Series after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
• Back in 2015, the Brewers sold 1,000 fans what is called a “Timeless Ticket,” promising them a seat to any home game, including th World Series.

What's still developing

• Fast-forward to this season’s World Series run, and Fochesato says his golden ticket is now rusting—both literally and figuratively.
• "Whether it's this season, the year 2050, or the 7th game of the World Series, all are valid games to redeem a Timeless Ticket." And there's proof of at least one fan trying to finally cash in on their investment.
• "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." After winning an MLB-best 103 games in the regular season and beating the San Diego Padres in four games in the National League Division Series, the Brewers swept the defending, back-to-back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
• The Brewers organization said they have received and unprecedented amount of emails from fans requesting to redeem their Timless Ticket.
• “It’s just so exciting for our whole family,” she said.
• In January 2015, the Brewers sweetened the deal by adding nine additional regular-season ticket vouchers.
• If someone had told Pirates fans back then that one of these two franchises would be playing in the 2026 World Series, it's difficult to imagine many would have picked Milwaukee.
• Back in 2014, the Milwaukee Brewers asked their fans to spend $1,000 on a promise that might not pay off for decades.

• "I don't know what they could do to make this right for us," Kyle said.
• Thankfully, things are starting to cool down, right in time for the World Series and the height of football season.
• With the NLCS ending after just four games, it’s nice that the American League side is more competitive, giving us something to watch instead of a week of off days leading up to the World Series.
