Among the usual bills, solicitations and Netflix offerings in this week’s mail was an unexpected piece from the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are direct-mail marketing single game suite rentals.
For $1,500, you and yours — from buddies to employees — can rent a Luxury Entertainment Suite that includes 16 suite tickets, 4 guest passes, 3 VIP parking passes, plus full access to meeting rooms and a full range of catering options. That’s the price for a Gold Game, which means it’s not the Yankees, Red Sox or Phillies. Those are “Blue Games” and cost $2,600.
And for $5,800, you can rent an Executive Suite that includes 32 suite tickets, 4 guest passes, 6 VIP parking passes, plus access to meeting rooms and a full range of catering options. That’s for Blue Games. Executive Suite Gold Games are $4,000.
In between, there are five other rental plans.
It’s a reminder that the Rays are hustling to take advantage of their new status as defending American League champions and one of the most attractive Major League Baseball teams.
