Hi,
I would like to comment on the Favre story “Favre Says He Is Considering Playing Again,” specifically the writer’s negative comments about Favre, the man who has brought over 10 years of blissful sports to Wisconsin. I thought the author was out of touch, or at least not seeing the bigger picture. For the media to now slander him, after they have put him on this pedestal in the first place, is unnerving. It is very easy to write about how his actions, or inactions, are unethical, but seriously, is this what the TCD author should be focusing on??
Wow, great promotion idea. And I love that Transfer pizza. Many (all?) of the TCD stories don’t permit comments so does this count?
Ted, you are the ticket master. Nice point… try to find an article that does.
Thanks!
Ryan
This is a great idea. Never been to Transfer Pizza before.
I, too, tried commenting on other stories but it said comments were turned off.
It is a great promotion. I’ve seen this done for giving money to charity a couple of times on blogs and they’ve all worked well. This is the first time I’ve seen it on as free tickets to anything though—or a cross promotion that requires you to visit another destination to pick them up. Nice virtual world to real world integration!
As an FYI, you can also get free tix to the festival if you become a MAM member (or renew) that day.
I made a comment but have received nothing so far….
You guys rock, thanks for a great promotion…
Great idea! I’ve made a couple comments but have not received a confirmation email. Are confirmation emails sent after a certain time period following making a comment?
i agree w/ted about favre and the writer ignored the obscenity that is greenbay management

This is such a great promo, I shared it with my Facebook friends…Great Job!
What a great idea, much needed in this recession.
P.S. I love the site!
I’ve totally been meaning to go to Transfer. Haven’t yet. Thought about it when I drove by last night. This could be the perfect excuse!
Wow! great promotion idea, I’ve never been to a LFOA event, must definitely check it out now.
Great story on the need for Type O blood. Giving blood is an easy thing to forget to do and we obviously need the reminder. I’ll be dropping by this week.
Woo! This looks like great fun, I’d love to be involved 🙂
Thank you ‘Greener Milwaukee’!!

The arts,the lakefront,the pizza…….
What a great promotion on a great lake.
Thxs.
I hope I really get to go to the Festival of Arts. I’ve lived here all my life and haven’t experienced half of all the great stuff Milwaukee has to offer yet. This is a great promotion!
I think this is a great idea to give the people of milwaukee an oppertunity to explore the city for free! More offers like this should be offered throughout the city. Thank you so much.

It is wonderful to see local Milwaukee businesses and great local organizations working together on fabulous projects.
This is awesome! Thanks for the tickets.
Thanks for all the feedback! We at TCD look forward to hearing more from all of you in days to come.
Now go check out Transfer and Lakefront Festival of the Arts!

This is great! Was not familiar w/ this site and now have it on my
Home page on my Iphone. I agree that cross promoting is a great
marketing tool and what a better place to pick up tickets than
Transfer. Go for brunch on Saturday and order their Egg Pizza. It
is fabulous!
Transfer Pizza is great as is the Lakefront Festival of the Arts.
Yummmy!
What a great opportunity! I had not heard about the Festival of the Arts until a friend keyed me in on this promotion. Now I’m definitely going! I may need to pick up a pizza while I’m grabbing my tickets. 🙂
What a great way to get the word out about such a fabulous Milwaukee event. I look forward to taking a few out of towners there to discover one of our city’s jewels! Keep up the great work!

This community needs sites like this! What an amazing opportunity to bring people together and expose us to the great events and organizations that are growing here in Milwaukee. Thank you for this and hope to see you at the festival this weekend!
Thanks Luke!
Pass us on to friend, TCD is Milwaukee’s VITAL source for hard hitting news, opinions, and info.
It’s great that we have received such a positive response from everybody, I hope that all of you will continue to share your information and ideas to help make Milwaukee a more culturally rich community.
Feel free to visit us any time, 24/7.
I went to the Festival of Arts for the first time last year and had a great experience. I’m excited that I get to go again this year for free. Thank you
What a great offer, and a great reason to try Transfer, heard it’s great!
From a marketing perspective, and trying to get people involved on the site firsthand, its just brilliant! Very great promotion, awesome idea! I love Transfer and TCD so its a perfect match 🙂

Hi,
Very excited about the LFOA. I’ve never been, usually falls on a weekend I am out of town, but I am able to go! Thank you!
What a great idea. I had fun at the festival last year. I’m looking forward to trying Transfer!
Maybe one of these years I’ll be able to take light-rail from Miller Park or somewhere here on the west side to the lakefront and the art festival.

I haven’t been to the Lakefront Festival of the Arts since I was an angst ridden teenager, completely in love with all things art-y;-) I would love to go again!
