On April 25, the Reds will be giving out a bobblehead of the
legendary painter Bob Ross. The Reds will be taking on the Atlanta Braves in a
6:40 p.m. game. Aside from the bobblehead, fans will also have the opportunity
to purchase a ticket package that not only includes the bobblehead, but
admission to the “Joy of Painting” VIP painting class.
In May, there will be three special ticket package
bobbleheads. On May 4, the Reds and Star Wars are teaming up to distribute a
bobblehead of Chewbacca. This lines up very well for Reds and Star Wars fans as
it is both a Friday and “Star Wars Day.” On May 7, the Reds will be celebrating
the 20th anniversary of the “Flying Pig Marathon” by giving away a
Flying Pig bobblehead. For those of you who are unaware, the “Flying Pig Marathon”
is Cincinnati’s trademark race and the Flying Pig has become a mascot for the
city. On May 20, the Reds will be giving out a bobblehead of Snoopy. I believe
last year’s Peanuts bobblehead was Charlie Brown so Snoopy is the next logical
choice.
June will feature three special ticket package bobbleheads.
First up is Captain America on June 8 which I already discussed in a previous
post. Second is the Fiona the Hippo bobblehead that will be given out on June
19. Fiona became a global superstar after the Cincinnati Zoo documented her
treatment and recovery after her premature birth. Like the Flying Pig, she has
become a mascot for Cincinnati and I believe that this will be a very popular
bobblehead. On June 29, Cincinnati parrot heads will be flocking to Great
American Ball Park. The Reds will team up with Margaritaville to distribute a
Shark bobblehead to fans who purchase the ticket package.
Two special ticket package bobbleheads will be given out in
July. On July 22, the Reds and Sony Pictures Animation will give out a
bobblehead of Mavis from the new “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” movie.
On July 27, the Reds will celebrate the King of Rock and Roll by giving out a
bobblehead of Elvis.
August will feature the last ticket package bobblehead of
the year. The 17th of the month will be “Grateful Dead Night.” To
celebrate, fans can purchase a special ticket package that will net them a
bobblehead of Uncle Sam.
Those are all the special ticket package bobbleheads that
the Reds plan to give away during the 2018 season. It is a cool way for
bobblehead collectors to snag some unique additions for their collections, and
it is also a great way to introduce non-baseball fans to America’s pastime. If
any of these bobbleheads caught your interest, head on over to Great American
Ball Park to get these ticket packages so you can add the bobbleheads to your
collection.
Go Redlegs!
