Brewers Fan Redeems 'Timeless Ticket' for 2026 World Series
Confirmed
In Short: A Milwaukee Brewers fan is attending the World Series after redeeming a 'Timeless Ticket' purchased in 2015.
Nate Holzman, a lifelong Milwaukee Brewers fan, is set to attend Game 1 of the World Series after redeeming a 'Timeless Ticket' he purchased over a decade ago.
Holzman, originally from Oak Creek and now living in Los Angeles, decided to cash in his ticket after attending Game 3 of the National League Championship Series in Los Angeles.
Back in 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers sold 1,000 'Timeless Tickets' for $1,000 each, promising buyers a seat to any future home game of their choice, offering the 'best available' seating at the time of redemption.
The tickets, according to the information card, 'may be redeemed for the best available seat locations, subject to ticket availability at the time of redemption.'
Holzman, a new father, reflected on the significance of the moment, noting that his daughter is the same age he was the last time the Brewers made it to the World Series.
Meanwhile, Fochesato, another fan who purchased a 'Timeless Ticket' in 2015, expressed mixed feelings about the redemption process.
For them to not really honor it in the original way...doesn’t feel right,' Fochesato said, holding back tears. 'My dad is 76, so this is probably the last chance.
Fochesato said, 'I’m still getting to do this with my dad,' but wished the process had been easier and they could have gotten better seats.
The Brewers organization has received an unprecedented amount of emails from fans requesting to redeem their 'Timeless Tickets.'
Schoenfeld, another fan, said redeeming hers gave her one World Series ticket and the opportunity to purchase up to three additional tickets at face value.
'We’ve been holding onto it, hoping and waiting and getting ready to go and cash this thing in,' Schoenfeld said.
The Milwaukee Brewers are making their first trip to the World Series since 1982 and will play either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays.
