You've heard of $1 hot dog promotions to entice fans to the ballpark but how about $1 ticket night by a MLB club. The Washington Nationals in a an attempt to generate buzz around the record signing of dynamo pitching prospect Stephen Strasburg are offering a select number of tickets for a dollar a piece for Friday nights game which will be preceded by an introductory press conference.
The Nats ended up selling out 6,000 tix in only 3 hours. Seeing as how Washington currently ranks 26th out of 30 teams in home attendance you have to think this promo was a "loss leader" just to get casual fans engaged in the the team and their young bright star.
