Press Release:
We regret that the youth jersey giveaway for this Sunday, June 22 has been canceled, due to circumstances beyond our control. However, the first 10,000 children 12 and younger to attend this Sunday’s game vs. the Texas Rangers at 1:35pm will receive a voucher for two (2) complimentary tickets to any future 2008 regular season Nationals home game. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our fans. If you have further questions, please contact the Washington Nationals at 202-675-NATS (6287).
Fans who purchased their tickets specifically for this game and wish to exchange their tickets for a future 2008 regular season Nationals home game, may do so by mailing their tickets and a written request for the exchange to: Washington Nationals Ticket Services, 1500 South Capitol Street, Washington, DC 20003. The youth jersey will not be rescheduled as a giveaway for a later date during the 2008 season, but the Nationals will attempt to schedule another youth giveaway for a future 2008 regular season game and we will notify our fans as soon as this occurs.
Well, Julia is certainly not happy about this development. What’s the problem, were the jersey’s made with tomato-base ink?
Well crap, good thing I bought extra tickets for this game so I could take both kids. Is there a link for this? I can’t find it on the Nats’ site.
I’m curious as to the “circumstances beyond our control.” If the sponsor (Smithfield) backed out, yeah that happens, but the team should step up and make things right. Typical of our nickel-and-dime ownership.
Miss Chatter,
Can you get to the bottom of “circumstances beyond our control” That surely is a catch-all excuse. I’ve had my issues with the promotions folks this year. The small number of T-shirts available on T-shirt tuesday is one of them, Why at a game where 28K + attended were there only 10K t-shirts available, more than half the folks got nothing? I think there needs to be some self reflection on the part of the Nats staff here. Keep up the great work and thanks for the heads up on the cancellation.
Take me out to the Ballgame!
Sam
Carl: Carpenter mentioned it last night during the game. Then the promotion was just airbrushed out of the promotions page — all that’s there now is the food bank drive.
Hey all! I totally intended to follow up on this, but I’m up in flooded Wisconsin where my phone doesn’t work and I have to go to the library for internet access (brief!). I won’t be home til Sunday.
I know it’s a bummer – we’re all going Sunday too.
Hello I was digging for reliable feedback on ink for large format printers. Your blog was listed on Alta Vista in this category, you have an interesting site.
