Buffalo Bisons to offer free tickets to unemployed

The Mets new Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, are doing something very special.

According to their Web site, the Bisons will offer up to four free tickets to anyone who has lost their job.

From the Bisons:

"Our nation's pastime has seen this country through many tough times, and together the two have always come out on top," said Mike Buczkowski, Vice President/General Manager of the Bisons. "Many of the fans that helped us shatter attendance records are the ones being affected by this unsettling economic environment. The Bisons are honored to make all those fans our guests on Opening Day."

How Fans Can Get Their Tickets:
Fans wishing to take advantage of this ticket offer must pick up their tickets at the Coca-Cola Field Box Office or at any one of three One-Stop Career Centers no later than Monday, April 6 at 5:00 p.m. Fans need only to show their unemployment debit card or the letter stating their unemployment funds have been designated into a personal account at the Bisons Box Office (Bisons are not asking people to surrender any documents/identification). Each fan will be able to collect up to four tickets so that their whole family can attend the game on Thursday, April 9.

Well done, Buffalo. A great gesture on their part.
