<v Speaker 1>be a part of the conversation during the show and beyond.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Did you know there's one hundred and twenty I believe

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>this is correct, there's one hundred and twenty seven days

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>till Red's opening day, holidays coming up. How about some

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>stocking stuff for ideas, some stuff to put under the trees.

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is news that warms you up on a

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.319
<v Speaker 1>miserable day. Red single game tickets excluding Opening Day are

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>on sale now. For more on that, let's go straight

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to the source. He is the senior director of ticket

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>sales for yours, Cincinnati Reds. That would be Mark Schuller.

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>How are you, Lance, I'm doing great? How are you

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 2>I am?

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's let's start here. I don't want to bury

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the lead because I know everybody loves to hear this

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>about fees. Tell us about a window of opportunity right

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>now that does not involve fees on Red's tickets.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, over the past couple of years, we've actually moved

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>up the date to put single game tickets on sale.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>A big part of that is to allow fans to

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>purchase them for gifts and really lock in, you know,

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the following summer early on. So right now, tickets are

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>available for all eighty games other than opening Day online

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>with no fees, and that'll be running through Monday, November

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty four.

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Can't beat that, all right, give us a quick overlook

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty twenty six schedule and maybe some opponents of.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Note yeah, so, I mean, our goal has always to

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 2>deliver great experience and offer a bunch of different ticket

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.639
<v Speaker 2>packages and varieties for folks. And you know, we're excited

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>about twenty six there. It's packed with a lot of fun.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>We have seven Bobble Had dates. All those will be

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>on various Saturdays throughout the year. We're gon have multiple

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>firework shows, a special Fourth of July celebration which will

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>include a Reds branded USA hat which will be really cool.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And we'll continue to addmo items tough the calendar for

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of months. But you know, as we

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>look at this schedule, it's really exciting. We have to

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 2>start with the Red Sox and open up against them,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>so have a prime opponent right off the bat, which

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>is really exciting. And you know how the schedules change.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 2>We play a lot of American League team, so we'll

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>have the Tigers in April, and you know the La

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers will be coming here in September, so and we

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>always know we see the Cubs and Cardinals every year,

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>and so really good opponents on the on the schedule.

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I love and I know my son Casey loves the

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>pick six plan. Perfect for maybe a holiday gift for

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a Reds fan in your home. Explain the pick six plan.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so our pick six plan has been a popular

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>item the last several years. So purchase on a pick

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>six plan, you actually get to pick any six games

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>throughout the twenty twenty sixth season and it comes with

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>an exclusive bobblehead. So this year we're doing Ellie de

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>la Cruz. He's going to be dabbing and it's going

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>to be a light up bobblehead, so the base will

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>light up and he's going to be doing his famous dabs.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>So you check that out at red dot com slash

0:02:58.600 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 2>pick six.

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Love that and I'm really excited with this next thing

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>because last year you guys introduced the three two to

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>one Tuesday Ballpark Pass, which is a fantastic idea and

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>it's my understanding it is expanding with multiple options this year.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Do tell yeah, it is expanding. So for the listeners

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that don't know, every Tuesday at the ballpark we do

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>a three to two to one special, which is three

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>dollars beers, two dollars hot dogs, and one dollar ice

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>cream and that's became really popular over the past couple

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of years. And last year we interdewed what's introduced what

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is called a pass product. It's a little bit different

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>in the ticket meaning they can't be forward day or

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>resold or anything like that. So the way they work

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>is the day a game, you'll get a text message saying, hey,

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>are you coming tonight, you say yes, and then two

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>hours before the game, you'll be sent tickets to the game.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So we dabbled. Last year we did a pass it

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>was forty nine to ninety nine for all thirteen games.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>We're bringing that back as well, and we're also expanding

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>that into a couple of different seating levels, so you

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>can get an upper level pass for just eighty nine

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>to ninety nine and a Premiere Pass which is our

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>lower level pass or one hundred and ninety nine ninety

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>nine and again access to all thirteen Tuesday games throughout

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 2>this season. So really great value and great opportunity.

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Can't beat that. That is a fantastic deal, absolutely all right,

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and last but not least one. No, everybody's excited it's

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>back after a two year break. I can't wait to

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>do sports talk on that Friday night from Reds Fest,

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>which returns January sixteenth and seventeen.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know you are a busy man at RedFest.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's this NonStop player after player and it's

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 2>been a little hiatus with the renovations going on. So

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll actually be the first event back at the convention Center.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 2>We're really excited about that. We did a walk through

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the other day. It's coming along great and it'll be

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.000
