Twins Reach Out To New Fans With Weekend Warrior Package

Yaawn.

Weekend warriors who are super casual and go to games but don't even watch the action on the field.  I.E> drink, flirt, shop, talk, check cell phone, rinse, repeat.

Sounds like a losing team not worth watching.  And a marketing effort that takes that into account for yet another year.

Come to Target Field, the newest mall in America.

It's the function of the Marketing Department to learn what the public wants--and find a good way to provide just that.  Condescending on people who just want a "good time" seems to me to be counter-productive.

The reason we dropped our 20-game season ticket package is because the games are all over the place and my wife works an irregular schedule and we weren't able to take in the weekend games. We were also lucky to move our Yankee and Brewer tickets early, but took a hit on other games (notably the Red Sox and Royals) that we weren't able to attend. You sell off some tickets and then buy ones for other games at a discount. Buying them all for one night would be a true benefit. Of course, the more season ticket packages that are sold, the better it is for the casual or unorganized fan as more tickets will be available via stub hub and such, although going electronic, wonder how that will work. We had a good time last year booking rally cheap seats in a variety of sections and getting different views of the field, making notes for when we might return as season ticket holders.

You can find any ticket you want, generally, outside the stadium before the game, and, generally, at face value or less...

This is a nice idea. This is something that I would consider if I lived closer. We only make it there a couple weekends a year. This year the schedule is very friendly with only two weekends with back to back home series.

I haven't checked recently but do the Twins still have the season ticket sharing? I was thinking a few years ago you could search for season ticket groups that are looking for partners. I am fortunate to be a part of a pretty massive group with seating sections located in different areas of the stadium with packages mainly consisting of 2 tickets per game for 10 games or 4 tickets per game for 5 games.

I live about 4 hours from Minneapolis and I gave this package some serious consideration. Friday night and Saturday games would be the only way I'd be able to (realistically) have season tickets - I'd argue that this package isn't just for the "casual fan" - but also for the serious fan that lives a bit too far from the cities to make a spontaneous trip to a Twins game.
