Earlier this morning, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that tickets to tonight’s World Series Game 5 watch party at American Family Field would go on sale to the general public at noon, 10 a.m. for Season Seat Members.
To no one’s surprise, those tickets were sold out mere minutes after noon.
The situation was similar to the ticket-buying experience for the Game 3 and 4 watch parties at AmFam: a quick sell-out, technical difficulties, everyone getting mad, etc.

Speaking of everyone getting mad, everyone is currently getting mad over the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to not show tonight’s World Series game on the Deer District plaza screen. You know, like they did for previous games.
Instead, “out of an abundance of caution,” the Bucks will “offer viewing exclusively to The Deer Garden and Deer District businesses.”
The Bucks are scheduled to host the Houston Rockets tonight at 7 p.m. at Fiserv Forum. Game 5 of the World Series is also scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
“The turnout on the plaza for Game 4 last night was tremendous, and we were thrilled to see so many fans supporting the Brewers,” the Bucks said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “Given the significant turnout on the plaza and the operational demands on our public safety partners, we have decided out of an abundance of caution to offer viewing exclusively to The Deer Garden and Deer District businesses.”
Here was the scene in the Deer District Tuesday night for Game 4:
