From a Mercury press release:

MERCURY INSURANCE GIVING AWAY COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO DODGER FANS

Responding to this demand, Mercury Insurance, a longtime Dodger sponsor, is offering 10 pairs of complimentary tickets a day during an eight-week period from May 1 - June 30. That’s more than 1,200 tickets.

Fans will be entered into the drawing when they complete an online Mercury auto insurance quote at mercuryinsurance.com/dodgers. Additionally, all winners will be entered into a grand prize drawing to win a Dodgers road trip for two, which includes hotel accommodations, transportation and tickets to see the Dodgers and Padres play a pair of games at Petco Park in late August.

Excitement Abounds in Dodgerland...

Here's a message from our ticket partners at TiqIQ:

Excitement abounds in Dodgerland as ticket prices rise at historic rate

By Dan Groob, TiqIQ

It’s been three seasons since the Los Angeles Dodgers last made the playoffs. Mired in both bankruptcy court and divorce court during the final few years of Frank McCourt’s ownership, the team remained stagnant in perpetual mediocrity with little vision or regard for the future as well.

With Guggenheim Partners slated for their first full season of team control following their record $2.15 billion dollar purchase of the team, the future is now for the Dodgers. The roster has been quickly restocked with the type of high-profile high-salary players that you might expect from the baseball arm of a $170-billion dollar financial services firm, and fans are once again excited for Dodger baseball.

According to TiqIQ, the average price for Los Angeles Dodgers tickets at home this season is currently a staggering $182 dollars. This represents 237% percent increase from the 2012 average price of $54 dollars, one of the largest year-over-year increases that TiqIQ has encountered in their three-plus years of tracking secondary market ticket pricing data. Looking back to 2011, the team’s last season of McCourt ownership, the increase in average ticket price to this year has been an even more astronomical 323% percent.

The highest-priced series of the season is currently the August 23-25 series against the Boston Red Sox. Last season, new ownership made a trade deadline splash by acquiring an underperforming triumvirate of Red Sox mega-contracts composed of Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Josh Beckett. While Boston was ecstatic to shed the payroll, John Henry’s trash became Peter Gruber’s treasure and is serving to help ignite what was previously a dormant and rather apathetic fan base for a number of years. The average ticket price for this rare matchup of storied franchises checks in at a whopping $250 dollars, and it currently costs $23 dollars for the cheapest seat in the house. This series also contains the single highest priced game of the year at Chavez Ravine, which is the series opener on August 23rd currently priced at an average of $252 dollars.

The next two highest priced series of the season are divisional matchups against the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both of these series take place down the September stretch, with the Diamondbacks coming to town on 9/9-9/11, and the Giants replacing them in the visitor’s locker room on 9/12 through 9/14. The Giants series out-prices the Diamondbacks series ever so slightly for the two-spot, at an average price of $236 versus $227 dollars.

Rounding out the top five most expensive series for Dodgers tickets of the season are the July 30-31 two game set against the New York Yankees, and the August 30-September 1 series against the San Diego Padres. When the Yankees come to town, it will mark just the third regular season series between these two teams that have met a record eleven times in the World Series. The average ticket for this series currently runs $226 dollars, but it is the cheap seats that have really skyrocketed for this matchup, with the cheapest seat in the house priced at $46 dollars. This is exactly double the price of the cheapest seat for the season’s most expensive game by average price, which is aforementioned $23 dollars for the 8/23 Boston game.

It is interesting to note the difference in ticket prices that a couple months can make. While the August 30-September 1 Padres series is the fifth most expensive series of the season at an average price of $222 dollars, the April 15-17 Padres series is actually the second cheapest at $103 dollars. The lowest priced series of the season pits the Dodgers against the Pittsburgh Pirates from April 5-7. Checking in $89 dollars, it is the only series all season with an average ticket price below the century mark. Rounding out the bottom three lowest priced series of the season, all of which take place in the season’s first month, will be the April 26-28 set against the Milwaukee Brewers at an average price of $123 dollars.

TiqIQ Vin Scully Bobblehead Offer

Here's a message from our ticket partners at TiqIQ:

Score tickets to Vin Scully Bobblehead Night from Sons Of Steve Garvey & TiqIQ!

Bobbleheads are consistently some of the hottest giveawaysof the MLB season. Whether it be of a current star player, a team legend, or notable announcer or coach, both fans young and old enjoy these characteristic collectibles.

The Dodgers are one of the teams that have really embraced the Bobblehead phenomenon, with a whopping 10 giveaways this year. The promotion concludes tomorrow night with the legendary play-by-play broadcaster Vin Scully in Bobblehead form. Perhaps the Dodgers organization felt this would be the final push to convince him to return to the Broadcast booth for an astonishing 64th season with the Dodgers in 2013. If so, it worked!

In comparison with other giveaways from various teams in the league, including Mike Piazza, Albert Pujols, and Stephen Strasburg, the Vin Scully Bobblehead night is one of the best values of the season. Not pictured, but of note, is that Philadelphia hosted a Hunter Pence Bobblehead night after he was traded. Surprisingly the average price was $45, which beats out Tigers newcomer Prince Fielder.

If you compare Vin Scully Bobblehead night to the Dodgers season average ticket price of $42, there’s a $12 premium for the Scully Bobblehead. This is tied for 3rd most of the Dodgers Bobblehead night giveaways this season, behind Lasorda/Alston in July and Scioscia in June.

Don’t miss the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most poetic men in sports with Vin Scully Bobblehead night tomorrow at Dodger Stadium. You’ll catch a great game too, as the Dodgers seek a series opener victory hosting the Diamondbacks with Clayton Kershaw dueling against Ian Kennedy on the mound. As always, Sons Of Steve Garvey & TiqIQ have your hookup! Over 3,000 tickets are still available. Get-in the door for $26 here.

If Bobbleheads aren’t your thing, grab tickets to the restof the Dodgers season here.
