Miami Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez threw a no-hitter in his home park in the last game of the season in front of an announced crowd of 28,835. But since Marlins Park was not sold out on the historic night, the team is selling the remaining 9,100 tickets as souvenirs.

The sale itself is hardly unprecedented. The Mets sold commemorative versions of tickets to Johan Santana’s 2012 no-hitter, and the Marlins themselves sold unpurchased tickets to Roy Halladay’s 2010 perfect game. It’s the execution in this case that didn’t work out so well.

Deadspin obtained a copy of one of the freshly sold but unused tickets. Because the Marlins are selling the available leftover tickets and not any sort of fancy collectible item, it’s just a PDF file of a Marlins ticket fans can download. But worse yet, the date is wrong.

Alvarez pitched his no-hitter on Sept. 29. The ticket Deadspin got says Oct. 3. The Marlins sold tickets to honor a specific date and used the wrong date. The 62-100 Marlins are definitely not playing on Oct. 3, unless they hold an MLB: The Show tournament or something.

The Marlins confirmed that tickets will be sold through Sunday night and that the total sales figures would be announced on Monday, but did not comment on the Deadspin report.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Marlins can part with all 9,100 of the unsold tickets. While it might seem difficult to understand the appeal of a commemorative PDF for a game you did not attend, perhaps the novelty of the misprint — even if it has been corrected — will prompt people to purchase tickets out of curiosity.
