Edgar Martinez Cancels Demetris Appearance Due to Poor Ticket Sales

Seattle Mariners legend Edgar Martinez has cancelled his appearance Oct. 19 at in Edmonds, reports Edmonds KOMO.

The restaurant says the cancellation was due to poor ticket sales.

Martinez his latest business venture, a line of artisanal mezcal liquor called El Zacatecano.

The price of admission may have something to do with Edgar's no-show. Tickets to the event were $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The price included one specialty drink. Bottles had to be purchased on site before Martinez would sign them. He would not sign any baseball memorabilia.

The event was also to benefit Camp Korey, a Skagit County-based organization that serves children with serious and life-threatening medical conditions and their families at no cost.
