00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Did you know there's one hundred and twenty I believe

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: this is correct, there's one hundred and twenty seven days

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,320

Speaker 1: stocking stuff for ideas, some stuff to put under the trees.

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: And this is news that warms you up on a

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 1: miserable day. Red single game tickets excluding Opening Day are

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: on sale now. For more on that, let's go straight

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: to the source. He is the senior director of ticket

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: sales for yours, Cincinnati Reds. That would be Mark Schuller.

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: How are you, Lance, I'm doing great? How are you

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: I am?

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Well, let's let's start here. I don't want to bury

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the lead because I know everybody loves to hear this

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: about fees. Tell us about a window of opportunity right

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: now that does not involve fees on Red's tickets.

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, over the past couple of years, we've actually moved

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: up the date to put single game tickets on sale.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: A big part of that is to allow fans to

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: purchase them for gifts and really lock in, you know,

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: the following summer early on. So right now, tickets are

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: available for all eighty games other than opening Day online

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: with no fees, and that'll be running through Monday, November

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: twenty four.

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Can't beat that, all right, give us a quick overlook

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty six schedule and maybe some opponents of.

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Note yeah, so, I mean, our goal has always to

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: deliver great experience and offer a bunch of different ticket

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 2: packages and varieties for folks. And you know, we're excited

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: about twenty six there. It's packed with a lot of fun.

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: We have seven Bobble Had dates. All those will be

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: on various Saturdays throughout the year. We're gon have multiple

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: firework shows, a special Fourth of July celebration which will

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: include a Reds branded USA hat which will be really cool.

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: And we'll continue to addmo items tough the calendar for

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: the next couple of months. But you know, as we

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: look at this schedule, it's really exciting. We have to

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: start with the Red Sox and open up against them,

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: so have a prime opponent right off the bat, which

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: is really exciting. And you know how the schedules change.

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: We play a lot of American League team, so we'll

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: have the Tigers in April, and you know the La

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Dodgers will be coming here in September, so and we

48
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: always know we see the Cubs and Cardinals every year,

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: and so really good opponents on the on the schedule.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I love and I know my son Casey loves the

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: pick six plan. Perfect for maybe a holiday gift for

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: a Reds fan in your home. Explain the pick six plan.

53
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so our pick six plan has been a popular

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: item the last several years. So purchase on a pick

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: six plan, you actually get to pick any six games

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: throughout the twenty twenty sixth season and it comes with

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: an exclusive bobblehead. So this year we're doing Ellie de

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: la Cruz. He's going to be dabbing and it's going

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: to be a light up bobblehead, so the base will

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: light up and he's going to be doing his famous dabs.

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: So you check that out at red dot com slash

62
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: pick six.

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Love that and I'm really excited with this next thing

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: because last year you guys introduced the three two to

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: one Tuesday Ballpark Pass, which is a fantastic idea and

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: it's my understanding it is expanding with multiple options this year.

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: Do tell yeah, it is expanding. So for the listeners

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: that don't know, every Tuesday at the ballpark we do

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: a three to two to one special, which is three

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: dollars beers, two dollars hot dogs, and one dollar ice

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: cream and that's became really popular over the past couple

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: of years. And last year we interdewed what's introduced what

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: is called a pass product. It's a little bit different

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: in the ticket meaning they can't be forward day or

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: resold or anything like that. So the way they work

76
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: is the day a game, you'll get a text message saying, hey,

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: are you coming tonight, you say yes, and then two

78
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: hours before the game, you'll be sent tickets to the game.

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: So we dabbled. Last year we did a pass it

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: was forty nine to ninety nine for all thirteen games.

81
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: We're bringing that back as well, and we're also expanding

82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: that into a couple of different seating levels, so you

83
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: can get an upper level pass for just eighty nine

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: to ninety nine and a Premiere Pass which is our

85
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: lower level pass or one hundred and ninety nine ninety

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: nine and again access to all thirteen Tuesday games throughout

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: this season. So really great value and great opportunity.

88
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Can't beat that. That is a fantastic deal, absolutely all right,

89
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: and last but not least one. No, everybody's excited it's

90
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: back after a two year break. I can't wait to

91
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: do sports talk on that Friday night from Reds Fest,

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you are a busy man at RedFest.

94
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: I think it's this NonStop player after player and it's

95
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,159

Speaker 2: the other day. It's coming along great and it'll be
