The Brewers ticket scalper’s union and made a formal disaster request
to the U.S. treasury for a secured line of credit to mitigate future Brewer
ticket losses which are expected on the final home stand of the season.
The Scalper’s union expects huge losses from the next home stand as a
result of the Brewer extremely poor performance in the month of September.
Union President, Anita Loanne said “This is the worst scalper’s crisis I have ever
seen” It’s worse than the Brave’s depression of 1961. Our workers are at risk of
losing everything!” “People don’t realize how important the “scalpers” role in
providing ticket opportunities for those fans with no genuine opportunity to obtain
tickets from the Brewers. If the scalpers are allowed to go out of business, Major
League Baseball in Milwaukee will seriously be at risk.”
Anita finished by saying “It’s though no fault of our own that the prices tanked, it’s
the Brewer’s fault—that’s why we need a bailout”
The Loan request is estimated at $7.25 Million. It’s a small price to pay to ensure
equal ticket access to Brewer fans in the coming years.
The US Treasury will consider the request.
Both Presidental Candidates were unavailable for comment.
