The Milwaukee Brewers this morning reached 3 million total tickets sold for the 2009 season. It is the second consecutive season the Brewers have reached the 3 million ticket plateau and the second time in team history.
The Brewers currently have sold out 27 games on the season and through 65 home games have a season attendance of 2,480,233. The Brewers average attendance of 38,157 currently ranks eighth- highest in all of Major League Baseball. Last season, the Brewers established a franchise attendance record with 3,068,458.
"Reaching three million tickets sold is the ultimate testament to Brewers fans, and it speaks volumes about their loyalty to the team and passion for the game," said Brewers Executive Vice President Rick Schlesinger. "We thank all of the fans who have come out this season, and we will continue to make the Miller Park experience the very best in baseball."
The Brewers have 16 home games left in the 2009 regular season. Tickets remain for all future home games, but advance purchase is encouraged. Individual tickets may be purchased online at brewers.com, the Miller Park Box Office, all tickets.com outlets and by calling 414-902-4000 or 800-933-7890.

Tickets.com Client Spotlight: Milwaukee Brewers
Brewers' ticket sales 10 percent ahead of 2008
The Business Journal of Milwaukee
by Mark Kass
As the Milwaukee Brewers opened their home schedule Friday at Miller Park, the team has already sold 1.8 million tickets, a 10 percent increase compared with last season.
Rick Schlesinger, Brewers' executive vice president of business operations, said demand for tickets has been high, despite the current economic downturn.
"Ticket sales have been in a word -- great," he said in an interview this week. "It is a great tribute to our fans and the demand and interest there is in this team this year."
The Brewers set an all-time franchise attendance mark of more than 3 million fans in 2008 when the team went to the playoffs for the first time in 26 years.
Schlesinger said the team would like to exceed 3 million again, but it will depend on how the Brewers do on the field.
"We have had a good start for ticket sales, but it always comes down to how the team plays," he said. "If we are in the playoff race in September, we will have very good year at the gate."
The team has added a new seating area to Miller Park -- a 42-seat elevated seating area that was built in left-center field. It is called the “Harley-Davidson Deck” and features Harley-Davidson motorcycles built into the decor.
Members of Harley Owners Group (HOG) will receive discounted tickets, which will include food buffet and two complementary beverages, to the deck for all games.
Schlesinger said the seating area is already sold out for about 80 percent of the home games.
In addition, the renamed AirTran Airways Landing Zone seating area in right field is sold out for 90 percent of the home games.
AirTran Airways signed a multi-year partnership with the Milwaukee Brewers in January, the centerpiece of which was naming rights to an all-inclusive outfield seating area that has been renamed the AirTran Airways Landing Zone.

Brewers Set Single-Day Ticket Sales Record
Brewers Set Single-Day Ticket Sales Record By Moving 104,000 Tickets On Saturday
Sports Business Daily – Monday, March 2, 2009
In Milwaukee, Ben Poston reported the Brewers "set a single-day ticket sales record Saturday, selling 104,000 tickets in the first six hours" that single-game tickets were on sale. The previous record "was 98,000 tickets sold last year during the entire day of the same Arctic Tailgate event, which kicks off the season for ticket buyers." Poston noted more than 1,000 Brewers fans "turned out at Miller Park early Saturday morning and stood in line for hours to score opening-day and single-game tickets." The Brewers already have "sold out of individual-game tickets for six games" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 3/1). Brewers Exec VP/Business Operations Rick Schlesinger: "We had fans here 10 days ago asking to pitch tents, but for their own safety we asked them to wait until Wednesday. We've never had anything like it before" (MLB.com, 2/28).
