Winter Warm-Up Autograph Tickets On Sale Tomorrow Morning

In less than two weeks, thousands of St. Louis Cardinals fans will attend Winter Warm-Up at Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch. This three-day event is sponsored by the Cardinals Care Foundation, which uses proceeds to support local organizations like Redbird Rookies across the Gateway City.

One feature of Winter Warm-Up that consistently attracts fans involves autograph sessions with current players and coaches, in addition to past St. Louis Cardinals alumni. Most of these sessions require a specific financial donation in exchange for an autograph ticket.

These specific vouchers go on sale at 9 a.m. tomorrow on the St. Louis Cardinals webpage for the event. This privilege provides a fan with the opportunity to briefly meet and greet the signee, while receiving one autograph on the fan’s choice of memorabilia, unless otherwise restricted.

Fans will first need to purchase a Winter Warm-Up pass ($40 adults, $10 children 15-under) from either a Cardinals Clubhouse Team Store or online before they can attend Winter Warm-Up and redeem their autograph vouchers. Ticket prices vary based on the current popularity of each player, coach or alumni.

For instance, it costs a combined total of $190 to obtain autograph tickets for the Cardinals’ battery of gold-glover Yadier Molina and 20-game winner Adam Wainwright. However, Cardinal newcomers prove to more priceworthy, as fans could obtain separate certificates for Jason Heyward and Mark Reynolds for a combined donation under $80.

For fans looking to limit expenditures, 17 signee tickets can be purchased for $20 or less. Additionally, a select few prospects and former players will sign for free, but could require a few hours of line-waiting if the demand is heavy for that specific player.

Up to 400 autograph tickets will be sold for each signee. All participants have designated two-hour signing slots between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on either January 17, 18 or 19, 2015.

The current autograph prices and event schedule for Winter Warm-Up can be found on the Cardinals website. For additional concerns or questions regarding the process, make sure to contact Cardinals Care or check out the FAQ page for the event.
