Brewers fans redeem Timeless Tickets for World Series as some dispute seat options
The 2015 tickets are bringing some fans to Milwaukee's first World Series in 44 years, while two holders say the seats offered fall short of the deal they understood.
Milwaukee Brewers fans are redeeming Timeless Tickets bought in 2015 for this week's World Series home games, the team's first appearance in 44 years. For some, the long wait is paying off; two Wisconsin brothers say the seats offered to them fall short of the deal they understood when they bought their tickets.
The Brewers sold 1,000 Timeless Tickets for $1,000 each, offering admission to a future home game chosen by the holder. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that fans could use them for a World Series game. The team's ticket information says redeemed seats are the best available at the time, subject to availability, according to the Journal Sentinel and WTMJ.
Fans who waited for the World Series
Milwaukee fan Danny Fochesato told the Journal Sentinel he bought his ticket intending to save it for a World Series game. He had previously gone through the redemption process when the Brewers reached the National League Championship Series in 2018 and 2025. In 2018, he had four seats in Section 119 behind home plate lined up if Milwaukee advanced, the newspaper reported.
Dustin Buck, an Iowa-based Brewers fan, bought two Timeless Tickets during a 2015 visit to Milwaukee. He plans to attend Game 1 on Friday, October 23, with his sons, now 17 and 13, according to the Journal Sentinel. Buck said he bought two additional tickets for them at $1,000 apiece and is keeping his second Timeless Ticket rather than using it for a possible Game 7.
Why two holders object to their seat choices
Kenosha brothers Kevin and Kyle Deaton told WTMJ they were offered terrace-level seats or standing room. They said those choices did not match their understanding of the best-available-seat wording. Kyle Deaton told WTMJ the brothers would not attend unless the Brewers made a better offer. Their account does not establish that the team breached the ticket terms, which also make seat selection subject to availability.
Fochesato said ticket representatives told him many World Series seats had already been allotted to current season-ticket holders and people considering 2027 season tickets. That is his account of the explanation, as reported by the Journal Sentinel. WTMJ said the Brewers had not responded to its interview request, and the Journal Sentinel said the team did not answer its questions about the sales process.
