Brewers pass 1 million ticket mark

Buoyed by a rebuilt starting rotation that did not cost the team any of its offensive stars, the Brewers on Wednesday announced they had already sold one million tickets for 2011, matching a club record for reaching that milestone. 

The team also reached the one million mark on Jan. 19, 2009, a franchise record set less than four months after the team’s first postseason appearance in a generation. 

“Bold moves by our owner and general manager have energized our fans, and ticket sales have spiked accordingly,” Brewers Executive Vice President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger said in a statement. “We look forward to a year of great excitement at Miller Park.”
