May 1, 2014

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (May 1, 2014) – The hottest ticket in town is Dodgers baseball.  The Dodgers sold three million tickets before Opening Day for the first time in franchise history.

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.

“Dodger games are the place to be in Los Angeles and Mercury is thrilled to offer Dodger fans the chance to attend a game,” said Erik Thompson, Mercury’s advertising director. “We’re so sure we can save Dodger fans money on their auto insurance that we’re willing to give away complimentary tickets just for giving us a look. All fans have to do to be entered to win is get a quick, free auto insurance quote from a company that offers some of the lowest rates in California. Fans can’t lose … and they can learn how to possibly save hundreds of dollars with Mercury.”

This is the eighth consecutive year Mercury, which has provided auto and homeowners insurance to Californians for more than 50 years, has partnered with the Dodgers.  In addition to the May-June ticket promotion, the Mercury-Dodgers 2014 partnership includes in-stadium branding (PA announcements as well as ads on the DodgerVision big screen and ribbon board), promotional distribution at autogate entrances and a variety of online elements executed by the Dodgers and Major League Baseball Advanced Media.  Mercury also partnered with the team to create a brand new in-stadium feature that gives fans the chance to see players act out their favorite movie quotes and then guess the title of the movie.

Mercury offers a wide variety of insurance products beyond auto insurance, including home, condo and renters’ insurance, as well as a complete line of business insurance products and mechanical breakdown protection.
