February 4, 20206 yr I also saw in that press release, they're still pushing the "FanFest is free, but fans MUST go online and get their complimentary ticket" plan. That's just so stupid.
February 4, 20206 yr Oh really? For like concession and merchandise? Interesting. I'll sign up. It might be different for you though considering they literally built a fence around the stadium because of you.
February 4, 20206 yr It is kinda funny that the Marlins, last in baseball in home runs, is naming their rewards system "Home Run Rewards."
February 4, 20206 yr It might be different for you though considering they literally built a fence around the stadium because of you. I need so many points just to be let into the park! It is kinda funny that the Marlins, last in baseball in home runs, is naming their rewards system "Home Run Rewards." Jeter was quoted saying "fans wanted more home runs, so we gave them home run rewards." Much cheaper than acquiring players that hit them! Brilliant.
February 4, 20206 yr Author Jeter was quoted saying "fans wanted more home runs, so we gave them home run rewards." Got proof?
February 8, 20206 yr I signed up for the rewards, apparently you can get points for watching the games on tv or listening on the radio. That's pretty cool. Easy way to rack up points.
February 8, 20206 yr Author I signed up for the rewards, apparently you can get points for watching the games on tv or listening on the radio. That's pretty cool. Easy way to rack up points. Real fans are going to be rolling in points.
February 10, 20206 yr I signed up for the rewards, apparently you can get points for watching the games on tv or listening on the radio. That's pretty cool. Easy way to rack up points. I looked up the reward point values - watching on TV and stuff gets you like 1 point or something, and you only get points for watching the away games, not home games.
February 10, 20206 yr https://www.mlb.com/marlins/tickets/home-run-rewards/earn-points It was 5 points for watching a road game, I stand corrected.
February 10, 20206 yr https://www.mlb.com/marlins/tickets/home-run-rewards/earn-points It was 5 points for watching a road game, I stand corrected. This was posted like an hour ago and I'm curious if you're still standing.
February 10, 20206 yr Man some of those points are so low... 1 point for every $10 spent on food purchases? So if I spend twenty bucks I'm only getting 2 damn points? Attending a game is only 2 points? The tv viewing only counts for away games, I guess they think that will make me attend more home games for points but why would I do that for just two points? I mean the idea is nice and a real die hard fan will get plenty of points eventually but the totals being so low makes a lot of the things not worth it for those who aren't die hard fans. Maybe giving more points will make people want to do more. So few is weird like "Arrive early at the ballpark for two whole points!" Really? It's also funny that they give big points for actually staying until the end of a home game haha like that's so rare for people to do. Here's a thought... they should find a way to give points to members who attend road games. Great idea for out of state fans and people who like visiting other ballparks when the Marlins are there too.
February 10, 20206 yr Points for arriving early to a game work only if you arrive more than an hour before game time. So a 7pm game you gotta log in your points before 6pm. That seems reaaaallllly early. I mean, how many people really get there that early? I feel like I've arrived too early and there's not much to do if I'm in the ballpark 30 mins before the game, an hour is like an eternity. And for those of us with kids, that's an extra hour to have to entertain them. Seems tough.
February 10, 20206 yr They should reward points for posting in the game threads here. Or at minimum take some points away.
February 10, 20206 yr This was posted like an hour ago and I'm curious if you're still standing. I'm standing outside the massive fence waiting for Homer to go off at 3:05.

Great idea for out of state fans and people who like visiting other ballparks when the Marlins are there too. Totally agree - when I looked at it last week, I laughed at some of them. They also don't tell how many points the rewards cost, but I'm sure they're something absurd like tens of thousands of points. I might do it once or twice for things like watching and attending, but you're totally right - with such low point values, I have little to no incentive to actually use this. Plus, I'd just about guarantee you'll go up to the concession stand and ask if they can scan for your rewards, they'll give you a blank stare and they'll have to have you wait while they go get a manager, who probably themselves won't know about it.

Totally agree - I'll sometimes go to a game straight from work, which would result in me being there an hour early (I'm not driving home in FTL to then come back), and even for me it's boring after a while, I'll play on my phone.
February 10, 20206 yr So as a North Carolina based fan, is there anything I can get for watching games and building up points. Not in the, “ I expect rewards” kind of way but in the is there anything that would benefit me like can order goodies and stuff from the store? And how would the points work or not if I’m watching the marlins broadcast on MLB.tv?
February 10, 20206 yr I'll sometimes go to a game straight from work "Straight from work" for you means "from behind the bushes."

I think they'll do a code at the end of the broadcast. "Straight from work" for you means "from behind the bushes." It's a short commute!
February 10, 20206 yr Author does that MLB.tv broadcast have different broadcasters than Holly and whats his name? I think they'll do a code at the end of the broadcast. No, they use the FSFlorida feed for it. It is the same as watching on TV.
February 10, 20206 yr No, they use the FSFlorida feed for it. It is the same as watching on TV. That's what I figured - so he'd be able to see whatever code they put up at the end of the game for the points. It would still only apply to away games, though.
February 10, 20206 yr Dumb me should have read the original post. Went back through after I posted. I’m an example of the type of real quality members we got at this fine establishment.
