Worcester, MA March 31, 2009- The Worcester Tornadoes Professional Baseball Team has announced a brand new half season ticket that is now available for fans. The ticket allows fans to purchase the same seat for 24 of the team’s 47 home games this summer at Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field. In conjunction with the new half season ticket, the Tornadoes have also announced a Free Grocery Giveaway, which will give $500 in free groceries to fans who purchase full season tickets and $250 in free groceries to fans who purchase half-season tickets. Half season tickets are priced at $240 apiece, while full season tickets start at just $400.

Becoming one of the Tornadoes most dedicated fans entitles season ticket holders to a number of benefits that other fans aren’t offered. Wait-staff service, free parking, guaranteed giveaway items, merchandise coupons, and our unused ticket policy are only a few of the benefits offered for joining the Tornadoes this season- and now the added bonus of free groceries.

“In economic times like this, we are glad that we can offer a lower-priced venue for summer entertainment,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dave Peterson. “We want to support our fans in return, and groceries are something that everyone needs.”

For a limited time, eligible Tornadoes fans simply shop at their favorite grocery store, send in their monthly receipts, and receive monthly grocery store gift cards. Limit one grocery certificate per household. Other exclusions may apply.

The Worcester Tornadoes are currently offering 2009 full and half season tickets. For details about the free grocery offer or to inquire about seating availability, please call the Worcester Tornadoes Ticket Manager Alise Wales at 508-792-2288 ext. 109 or email her at awales@worcestertornadoes.com.
