Nate Holzman, a lifelong Milwaukee Brewers fan, is set to attend Game 1 of the World Series after redeeming a “Timeless Ticket” he purchased 12 years ago.
Holzman, originally from Oak Creek and now living in Los Angeles, was one of 1,000 people to buy the embossed “Timeless Ticket” from the Brewers more than a decade ago. The ticket, which cost $1,000, guaranteed a seat to any future game of his choice.
“Since that story ran on Friday I’ve heard from a thousand of my closest friends. People I haven’t heard from forever, social media, I guess it’s all over social media,” Holzman said.
After attending Game 3 of the National League Championship Series in Los Angeles, Holzman decided to cash in his ticket. He waited anxiously for a few days before the Brewers confirmed over the weekend that he would be attending Game 1 of the World Series.
“The Brewers are going to the World Series, and I’m going to the World Series! Doesn’t get any better than that!” Holzman said.
Holzman, a new father, reflected on the significance of the moment, noting that his daughter is the same age he was the last time the Brewers made it to the World Series.
“Am I going to need to maybe transfer this ticket to my daughter’s name because I die before the Brewers make it to the World Series, like, that seriously did cross my mind multiple times, but luckily I don’t have to worry about that any more,” he said.
On Friday afternoon, Holzman will complete the final step by visiting the Will Call window at American Family Field, where he’ll show his ID and ticket confirmation to claim his tickets.
Although Holzman did not have to pay extra for his own ticket, the ticket also allowed him to purchase three additional terrace seats at face value for $1,000 each. He said he was happy to pay the price so his parents and a friend could join him for the game.
