Miami Marlins fans can now name their price to attend home games. Here’s how it works
The Miami Marlins are in the midst of their final homestand of the 2023 season and are still playing for a playoff spot.
And during this final week of home games, fans will have a say in how much they pay to attend games at loanDepot park.
The Marlins and TicketRev, a live event ticketing platform, on Tuesday announced they are partnering to launch the “Make Your Pitch” program, which allows fans to “choose their seating preferences and price.”
Christian Lowe, the Marlins’ vice president of analytics and strategy, said in a press release the decision to work with TicketRev and its “trendsetting technology” is about “developing a deeper connection with our fans.”
“This collaboration is a game-changer and sets the stage for unforgettable fan experiences and new opportunities to make Marlins Baseball more engaging than ever,” Lowe said.
Here’s how it works:
▪ Go to Marlins.com/MakeYourPitch.
▪ Select the game you want to attend and your preferred seating location. You are allowed to select multiple games and multiple seating zones at a time, but only one seating zone will ultimately be fulfilled per game.
▪ Make a pitch with how much you want to spend per ticket.
▪ If your pitch is approved, you receive your tickets. There are no additional fees. What you submitted for your pitch is the final price you will pay.
A couple things to note.
First, just because you make a pitch doesn’t mean it will be accepted. According to the Marlins’ website, “Pitches are not guaranteed to be accepted. We recommend offering a price within our suggested range to increase your chances of getting tickets.” Also, pitches need to be made at least 24 hours before the game’s scheduled start time.
TicketRev co-founder and CEO Jason Shatsky said in a press release that the company is “on a mission to democratize live event ticketing by ensuring that fans and teams benefit from data-driven decisions.”
“Partnering with the Miami Marlins allows us to transform our local insights into exceptional experiences,” Shatsky said. “We’re not just selling tickets; we’re changing the way fans experience live events.”
