Brewers Fans Redeem $1,000 Timeless Tickets for 2026 World Series as Resale Seats Top $2,681

Q: How many of the original 1,000 brass ticket buyers held on long enough to claim these historic seats?

It is not publicly known yet how many of the original 1,000 buyers still held their brass tickets long enough to redeem them for the 2026 World Series. The reporting confirms that some of the 1,000 owners had already used their “Timeless Tickets” in earlier years, while others deliberately saved them in hopes of a World Series berth. Brewers executive Rick Schlesinger said as far back as 2018 that “a few owners had used their tickets, and the rest were holding on,” but no updated official total has been released now that Milwaukee has reached the Fall Classic. What is known is that the Brewers are accepting redemption requests, processing them in the order received, and assigning seats based on availability. Fans had to submit forms, and at least one confirmed original buyer, Nate Holzman, was still holding his ticket and seeking a World Series seat. So the best answer is that the exact number of holdouts has not been disclosed. The available evidence shows that an unknown share of the original 1,000 remained unredeemed heading into the 2026 World Series, but the team has not publicly said how many.

$1,000 Timeless Tickets sold by Milwaukee in 2015 are being redeemed for 2026 World Series games, turning an 11-year-old promotion into one of baseball’s cheapest postseason entries.
The Brewers sold 1,000 personalized one-pound brass tickets during a 68-84 season, raising $1 million while promising access to any future home game—even a Game 7 World Series.
Game 1 resale prices now start at $2,681 and some upper-level seats are reportedly above $3,500, making the old tickets especially valuable; holders can also buy up to three extra seats at face value if available.
World Series access is not automatic: fans had to submit redemption requests, and Milwaukee said seat assignments and even specific games remain subject to availability.
The payoff follows the Brewers’ turnaround into a regular contender, with eight postseason appearances in the past nine seasons and their first World Series trip since 1982.
