January 14, 20206 yr #CheapJeter thinks his fans are just as cheap as he is so he's making this free admission.
January 14, 20206 yr Author They've been pushing more blue in their marketing, or am I imagining that? Where are those regular season blue jerseys?
January 14, 20206 yr Looks like they got rid of that odd ticket idea from last year. I think it was a way to get an estimate on how many people were coming but they allowed everyone in anyways so it was probably more trouble than necessary.

January 14, 20206 yr They've been pushing more blue in their marketing, or am I imagining that? Probably imagining it. Yes I've seen plenty of it lately but they've always had a significant amount of blue in their marketing so I wouldn't say it's any more than in the past.
January 14, 20206 yr It was a really stupid idea yeah. I remember being with a group of like a dozen people when I went to enter and I had only bought the maximum of six tickets allowed and the guy scanned one of my tickets and then I just kinda told the guy I'm in a big group and he said no problem and just sent us all in off of my one ticket... so what was the point of even having the tickets or having to buy a certain amount if 12 people could enter off of one scanned ticket?
January 14, 20206 yr Author Setting up a ticket system may have made people stay home. They may have not read it at all and assumed it wasn't free. It just made no sense.

January 14, 20206 yr They've been pushing more blue in their marketing, or am I imagining that? Where are those regular season blue jerseys? Nah, they've used blue fairly often in marketing (which is another reason why it should become the primary color with black being a secondary color). Yes please on the regular season blue jerseys.

I forgot about that. Yeah, that ticket idea was stupid. I get it was probably an attempt at figuring out how many people showed up, but I agree it probably scared people off - when I hear about needing tickets, it sounds like I have to pay. many won't go through the effort of getting tickets even if it's free. And I'm sure a lot of people showed up without them too - what would they do? Turn them away? I seem to remember them saying yeah we don't need to scan them all, just one.
January 15, 20206 yr Author @SonOfJack I want to see you there You gonna wear a name tag that says el_gmac so I know which one is you?

January 15, 20206 yr Hey, it is free, but they are still requesting that you get tickets from the website.
January 15, 20206 yr Author @SilverBullet Yeah @fish53 is right about that, they are STILL doing the ticket idea. - https://www.mlb.com/marlins/fans/fanfest I don't understand it.
January 15, 20206 yr The original blog post says nothing about tickets but yeah I can't believe they're still doing it. Oh well at least this year we know not to worry much about it. Claim your free tickets and then walk in with ten people behind you.
January 15, 20206 yr Author and then walk in with ten people behind you. You are always so pessimistic, I am sure the crowd will be bigger than that
January 15, 20206 yr Author I'm tempted to show up without a ticket and see what they tell me. Doesn't surprise me, you did the same for games.
January 15, 20206 yr Doesn't surprise me, you did the same for games. Me: Hi, I'm here for FanFest Employee: Ticket please! Me: I don't have one Employee: You need one. Me: How much is it? Employee: Free Me: So you need me to have a ticket.....to a free event? Why? Employee: Shrug

January 16, 20206 yr Here's Jazz wearing more blue, it looks great and actually accentuates the black so well, makes me wonder about a blue cap...

[ATTACH type=full" alt="Screenshot_20200115-202231_Instagram.jpg]3380[/ATTACH] Jazz's headband is too long. Clearly the Diamondbacks developmental team didn't see this issue and will cause issues for us going forward.
