Appleton, Wis. – Local entrepreneur Alyssa Jones is turning her 11‑year‑old jewelry shop into a ticket‑giving machine for the Milwaukee Brewers’ historic World Series debut. Jones, who runs Alyssa & Anna’s Fine Jewelry in both Appleton and Oshkosh, announced a contest that will award two free Game 1 tickets to the championship series at American Family Field.
How to enter
To participate, residents must follow the Alyssa & Anna Fine Jewelry Facebook page, like the contest post, and share it on their own timelines. A bonus entry is granted to anyone who comments on why they deserve the tickets. As of Tuesday afternoon, the post had been shared more than 17,000 times, indicating strong community interest.
Why a Braves fan is helping Brewers supporters
Although Jones admits she is a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan – she attended two of the Braves’ World Series games in 2021 – she wants Brewers fans to experience the same excitement she felt. “It was the best experience of my life, so if I have two extra tickets I want to give them to a big Brewer fan,” she said.
Business benefits and community impact
The contest doubles as a marketing push for Jones’s jewelry store. She noted that exposure from the giveaway has been “super positive” and that customers have been “super friendly.” The prize package also includes a sterling‑silver and blue‑sapphire baseball‑glove necklace and a custom rhinestone Brewers crewneck, further showcasing the shop’s craftsmanship.
Ticket details and selection process
Jones secured the tickets through a season‑seat member presale, making them the first World Series tickets ever sold for a game at American Family Field. The seats are located on the second level of the stadium, a section where tickets on the resale market have been listed for over $3,000 each.
She is still deciding how the winner will be chosen. One option is a random draw via computer program; another is to select the entrant with the most heartfelt story about why they should win. “People who want to bring their kids who are big fans or people who met at the stadium, now they’re married,” Jones said, noting the variety of touching narratives she has read.
Local relevance
This giveaway highlights the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the Fox Valley economy. By leveraging a national sports event, a small‑business owner is creating buzz, encouraging social‑media engagement, and reinforcing community pride in both the Brewers’ achievement and local commerce.
Residents who win the tickets will not only enjoy a historic baseball moment but also receive a unique piece of jewelry that celebrates Wisconsin’s baseball heritage. The contest underscores how local businesses can connect with fans, support family outings, and contribute to the region’s cultural fabric.
