Marlins Offer Big Ticket Discount In Honor Of Stanton's 61 Homers

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Giancarlo Stanton's epic Home Run Derby performance that saw him hit 61 homers almost put the Miami Marlins into quite the pickle.
Earlier on Monday the Marlins had sent out an email with a ticket promotion offering fans 1% off future tickets for each home run hit by Stanton during the derby.
Meaning that 15 home runs would equal 15% off, 30 home runs would equal 30% off and so on.
Since Stanton hit a Home Run Derby record 61 homers, that essentially meant fans could get 61% off tickets to a future Marlins game.
Not so fast though.
MLB Advanced Media is in charge of every team's website and, according to Marlins team president David Samson, does not allow a conditional promotion to discount tickets more than 25%.
The Marlins marketing department quickly went to work to try and remedy the situation to angry fans.
The team is offering fans 61% off of tickets to the game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, July 29th.
The offer will go live on the Marlins website on Wednesday.
