Blues cancel free beer promotion
The offer was snatched back before a thirsty hockey fan could spell Budweiser. Shortly before lunchtime Thursday, the St. Louis Blues sent an e-mail to fans announcing "Tuesdays on Tap," a promotion offering unlimited free beverages, including beer, for certain tickets to five upcoming home games. One-half hour before the free-beer e-mail went out, the Associated Press wire service moved a story from Newcastle, Ontario, reporting that a judge had just sentenced former Blues defenseman Rob Ramage to four years in prison for a drunken-driving crash in which a friend and fellow hockey player died.

good move - sell tickets based on a promotion, then pull the promotion...oughta leave alot of fans happy with their ticket purchase. But, really, like RWhite said, who came up with this idea in the first place? Who would have ever thought that this would be a promo that would fly?

Unlimited was a pretty bad decision, but if it had been 2-3 beers for each of the 5 games in the promotion it should've been okay.
Another problem is that it was going to be Budweiser.

The best beer is free beer. Just like how your favorite beer should be your next one.

Guess they've never heard of the infamous "Ten Cent Beer Night" incident. Can always learn something from baseball.

It's pretty sad when teams can't make promotions like this, because people are either too cheap or too irresponsible to take a cab. Can people honestly not afford $40 for a cab ride to and from the game? Somewhere along the way peope have forgotten that they are responsible for their own actions. If I was going to a game with free beer I sure as h.e.l.l. woudln't drive to the game.

PackBrew, as a St. Louisan I have to say I agree with the 2-3 beers thing and A-B could afford that but I am insulted at your comment on Budweiser, it's good stuff, it's number two in my beverage consumption next to water
