Washington Nationals Home Rub Derby promo backfires after Bryce Harper's dominant performance makes tickets $1 https://ift.tt/2JvaIJq Alex Brandon/AP
Before Monday's Home Run Derby, the Nationals tweeted that tickets would be $1 off for each home run Harper hit in the Derby. That promotion came back to bite them when Harper lit it up in the Derby, smacking out 45 home runs to win the event. He came on in the final minute of the final round, with a burst that included nine home runs on ten pitches. In turn, the $45 off of tickets was so much that the Nationals had to instead list some tickets at $1 because the promotion would have otherwise made them free. According to Yahoo's Chris Cwik, for the Nationals' August 1 game against the New York Mets, outfield seats are now just $1. Seats down the third baseline are $14, if someone wants to splurge. As Harper was blasting home runs on Monday, the Nationals made a public apology to their finance department.
