Hi, All, Just checking back in about tickets for the Pirates vs Brewers game on July 18, the night before the O&M Conference begins in Pittsburgh. Y’all snapped up the first block of tickets pronto! After those were spoken for, several other colleagues asked about joining the AER group, so I purchased another set of seats nearby where conference attendees can sit together. A few of those tickets are still available. Penn-Del AER arranged these specially priced tickets, which are a really good deal—$34 with taxes, etc.—and each ticket includes $10.00 toward food or concessions purchases in the park. (The regular ticket price is $60.00!) PNC Park where the Pirates play is a terrific venue with beautiful views, comfortable seats, and lots of yummy food options. It is within easy walking distance of the conference hotel. I’m attaching a photo I took at a Pirates game last year, just to give you a taste of the view and the ballpark. If you are interested in one of these tickets and sitting with a bunch of colleagues, please contact me offline at mary.nelle@earthlink.net <mailto:mary.nelle@earthlink.net> or call me at 412-367-9085. No pressure. Just a friendly offer. A group of Penn-Del AER members will gather in the hotel lobby at 6:00 PM and walk over to the ballpark together. We invite you to join us. Even if we have seats in separate parts of the park, we can go over as a group and return together if you want and for sure have a good time in between! Be well and hope to see you at the conference!
