Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Cincinnati Reds are offering discounted game tickets to fans who have received a coronavirus vaccination.
The franchise said view level tickets will be available at a reduced price of US$10 to those who show their Covid-19 vaccination card with at least one dose completed.
The Reds are the first US sports team to offer a vaccination incentive, according to MLB.com
The offer is valid at the ticket windows at the team’s Great American Ball Park for games played between Monday and Thursday in April and May. A maximum of six tickets can be purchased with each vaccine card shown.
Once purchased, the tickets will be issued digitally via the MLB Ballpark app to allow contactless entry.
