Marlins Thank First Responders With Free Tickets

MIAMI, FL — As a thank you for their service during Hurricane Irma, first responders can pick up two free tickets to any of the remaining Marlins home games. The team has a 36-35 record at Marlins Park and have won 11 of their last 18 home games. The offer is also good for residents of Monroe County, who suffered some of the worst damage from Hurricane Irma anywhere in Florida.

The Marlins return to Marlins Park on Monday for the start of a three-game homestand against the New York Mets.

"Throughout the homestand and the remaining home games, first responders and residents of Monroe County will have free admission," the team staid on Sunday.

First responders should use the Center Field Entrance to claim their tickets as early as 90 minutes prior to the start of each game. Two tickets will be provided per valid identification indicating first responder status.
