A diehard Milwaukee Brewers fan is willing to put his 25 years of plumbing experience to work for anyone who can help him accomplish a lifelong dream: attending the World Series with his family.
Jon Moser, a master plumber from West Allis, Wisconsin, and his wife, Natasha, have posted an unusual proposal on social media. Instead of spending thousands on tickets, they’re offering professional plumbing services in exchange for seats at the Fall Classic. The idea came after the Mosers discovered just how expensive World Series tickets had become.
According to Fox 6 Milwaukee, the couple owns N & J Plumbing, a business specializing in residential remodeling and service work.
“We wanted to save up for the World Series, and as the tickets came up, they were just extremely expensive,” Jon told Fox 6. “My wife was like, would you be interested in swapping labor? And I’m like absolutely! Like why not do that if I can give back some of my talent and skill and looking for my money, and maybe I help their vision for their home that they are creating for me and my family. It’s all about experience.”
World Series ticket prices have Brewers fans getting creative
According to Fox 6, standing-room-only tickets are selling for at least $2,300, while actual seats are commanding prices over $3,000. Wide Open Country reports that the cheapest available tickets on SeatGeek were approximately $2,490.
Those extraordinary prices have inspired Milwaukee Brewers fans to explore unconventional ways of securing tickets. Supporters have reportedly offered everything from pontoon boats to sports cards to international flights.
Attending the World Series would mean more than just seeing a baseball game
Jon Moser believes the same qualities that define his life — hard work, dedication, perseverance and determination — also define the Milwaukee Brewers. He says attending the World Series would create many lifelong memories with his two kids.
“How do you not remember going to the Brewers stadium and having that experience, whether we win or lose? I believe we’re going to win. I truly believe that…and I just want to be a part of that experience,” he said.
Moser told Fox 6 that he had already received some interest in his unusual offer, although no agreement had been finalized, but he’s still hoping someone with extra tickets might need a bathroom remodeled, pipes repaired or another plumbing project completed.
Meanwhile, he has organized a World Series watch party at his home in West Allis. For Moser, trading his expertise for the chance to watch his beloved Brewers compete for a championship would be a labor of love — and potentially the deal of a lifetime.
