Pump You Up: Twins Running Tix Discount Tied To Average Gas Price
By Jay
Weiner, Correspondent
The Twins, running on empty at the gate, are discounting tickets with an
eye toward soaring gas prices. Beginning today, a program called "Tanks
from the Twins" will let ticket buyers score a discount keyed to the
national average for the price of a gallon of gasoline. The amount of the ticket
discount will adjust each Monday. During that week, tickets in specified Metrodome
sections purchased for any game this season will be discounted by the price of
a gallon of gas. So, if the average price is $3.93 per gallon, the ticket price
will be cut by that much. Should the cost of a gallon of gas rise, so would the
cut-rate on a ticket. Twins attendance is down 10% from last year, with
the team averaging 24,760 fans per game, down from 27,568 at the same time
in '07.
