In the latest addition to the Birdland Stimulus Package that was introduced last week, the Orioles are inviting all baseball fans to celebrate their birthdays at Camden Yards and attend a game for free in 2009. The birthday ticket promotion is part of the Orioles' continued commitment to provide the most affordable and valuable entertainment option in the region and is one of a number of new birthday celebration options the club will offer at Oriole Park beginning this season. The Orioles will also offer kids' birthday party packages, visits from the Oriole Bird, scoreboard surprises and birthday certificates to help fans celebrate their special day at the ballpark.
All fans who register at orioles.com/birthdays will receive a voucher good for one complimentary Upper Reserve ticket to any non-prime game in their birthday month. Fans with birthdays from January through March will receive a voucher to an April game, and fans with birthdays in October to December may attend a game in September.
"Thousands of fans choose to celebrate their birthdays at Oriole Park each year, and we want to make sure the opportunity remains as affordable and enjoyable as possible," said Orioles Director of Communications GREG BADER.
Also new this year, the Orioles will offer an all-inclusive birthday party package for kids 14 and under and their guests. For $25 per person ($35 per person for prime games), each member of the birthday party will receive a game ticket in the Terrace Box area in right field, along with vouchers for a kid-sized hot dog, popcorn and soda. In addition, the party will be announced on the Camden Yards video board and the Oriole Bird will make a visit to the birthday section during the game.
Fans of all ages can have their birthday recognized at the ballpark and help a charitable cause at the same time by scheduling a visit from the Oriole Bird or a Scoreboard Surprise. For a $75 donation to the Orioles Charitable Foundation, the Oriole Bird will bring a goody bag directly to the birthday celebrant's seat. For a $25 donation to the Foundation, the birthday will be listed on the Oriole Park center field scoreboard during the game. Reservations for these two options must be placed at least 48 hours in advance by visiting orioles.com or calling 888-848-BIRD.
Finally, all fans who are celebrating a birthday can stop by any of the Fan Assistance locations at Oriole Park during the game to receive a free certificate customized to commemorate the special day.
