Brewer Tickets
One of the items on my "Cubs Wish List" is to get to a series in Milwaukee. Miller Park looks very nice and when the Cubs play at Miller, there are usually more Cubs fans than Brewer fans--looks like a lot of fun. This is the year my wife and I are going to go. I keep checking the Brewer website for info on single game tickets and it keeps saying "Single Game Tickets information coming soon."
I'm sure many of the people on BCB have been to Miller Park for a game or series. We live in Nebraska, so I'm not familiar with Milwaukee or how the Brewers go about selling their tickets, but I'm sure the Cubs games are the toughest ones to get. Do the Brewers sell single game tickets similar to the Cubs way of doing it (online--having to wait in that I'net waiting room)? We are planning on getting to 3 or 4 of the games during that series July 6-9 in Milwaukee. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thank you for your input!

Tailgate
One other thing though. While the quality and quantity of sausages on sale in the park are great, one of the traditions of the Brewers fans is to tailgate before the game. Not sure how you were planning to get there but if driving is an option and you have a small grill you can bring along, it's a very festive atmosphere in the lots before the game. They have plenty of places to dispose of the hot coals too. If you can't do the grill, then just pick up some sandwiches and a cooler of beverages. Should you decide to go this route, the website usually has information about when the lots open for tailgating.

the best part of the park is the tailgating--there aren't many baseball parks where its easier to do or more celebrated than there. and the cubs series really packs the parking lot with people. its lots of fun, and the brewers and cubs fans get along very well, in my experience. nothing like cubs/sox or cubs/cards.
opening day and the cubs games are generally the only ones that come close to selling out. there is a saturday night game and a sunday day game the first weekend in july. i would bet those would sell out the first day of sale, or close to it. if yo0u want to go one of those days i'd get in right away.
for the other cubs games, the outfield bleachers and primo tickets usually sell out fairly quickly. but you can still get other tickets weeks later. the upper deck behind home plate and on the baselines is a nice value and has good sitelines. i usually go after the "field outfield box" seats. they are between third base and the foul pole. decent price and great view/close to the field.

Tomas is right...
Other good seats are the "club" level (the 200 level) right behind the plate. Though this is an "upper" deck, it's not all that high, and the sightlines are excellent.

Looks like the Brewers have their own "premium" game pricing. Guess which games get the tickets marked up?

Miller Park...
Yes, it is a different feeling inside. Very strange. You sit there and you feel enclosed in, but then you look up and the roof is open. We have been there, mostly when they have played the Cubs, when the roof has been open, closed...the "sliding glass doors" in the outfield open, closed.
As a side bar, my daughter and I were there (County Stadium) when Sammy hit homers 64 and 65 on 9/23/98 and they blew a 7-0 lead. Everybody blamed the outfielder (I forget his name right now) for losing the game, but it was the manager who left the pitcher in too long.

Man, from what I hear....
I didn't decide to go that day till the day before, so I went -- and sat -- by myself. What a day, and what a loss -- but remember, had it not been for that loss, we'd never have had the amazing wild-card tiebreaker game the following Monday.
I know, weird logic, but that's how it felt.

Brant Brown
Here's the transcript:
HUGHES: "Two down, the Brewers have the bases loaded, and a 2-2 count on the hitter. Here's the pitch. Swung on. Fly ball to left field. Brant Brown going back. Brant Brown ... drops the ball!"
SANTO: "Oh, nooooooooo!"
HUGHES: "He dropped the ball!"
SANTO: "Nooooooooo!"
HUGHES: "Three runs will score, and the Brewers have beaten the Cubs."
