Nationals Kick Off Targeted Ticket Campaign Around Phillies Series

The Nationals today will begin a monthlong targeted ticketing campaign titled "Take Back the Park," designed to encourage local fans to attend the club's May 4-6 home series against the Phillies. The Nationals, with the aid of ticketing partner Tickets.com and MLBAM, have launched a microsite at nationals.com/ourpark in which DC-area purchasers beginning today will have an advance presale window for tickets to the three games, roughly a month before single-game tickets go on sale to the general public.

Several local partners, including the Greater Washington Board of Trade, will be co-promoting the presale. The May 6 finale of the series will be a nationally televised game on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball." But Nationals COO Andy Feffer said the ticketing campaign was in the works prior to ESPN finalizing its early-season broadcast schedule.
