People's Hits A Grand Slam For Customers With Connecticut Minor League Baseball

BRIDGEPORT, CONN.
Swing into summer with special baseball offers from People's Bank at four minor league stadiums across Connecticut. People's is partnering with the local ball clubs - Bridgeport Bluefish, New Britain Rockcats, New Haven Ravens and Norwich Navigators - to offer its customers a $1 discount off tickets purchased at the box office with a People's Plus® MasterMoney™ debit card.

People's, which has 150 branches across Connecticut, is partnering for the first time with all of the state's four minor league baseball teams.

"These teams provide so much to their home towns and to the residents of their surrounding communities," said Peter J. Scotch, senior vice president, Consumer Deposit Services, at People's. "People's is happy to be part of the enjoyment that a summer at the stadium brings to our customers throughout the state."

To receive the discount on any reserved, box or luxury tickets, customers must purchase tickets through the box office using their People's Plus MasterMoney®Debit Card, and must be sure to request the discount prior to final sale. Tickets are based on availability. More information is available at People's Bank branches.
