Baseball enthusiasts will have an opportunity to take to the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul to compete in a race of the feet and mind for a chance to win prizes and tickets to MLB All-Star Week events during the
T-Mobile All-Star FanFest Ticket Hunt. The T-Mobile All-Star FanFest Ticket Hunt will begin at approximately 11:00 a.m. CT on Wednesday, May 21st when a series of clues and passwords will be released one-by-one through the MLB All-Star Game Twitter account (@AllStarGame) and the Twins Twitter account (@Twins). Each clue will lead fans to one of six locations throughout the Twin Cities.
The first eligible fan to show up to each location and provide MLB All-Star ambassadors wearing an MLB All-Star Game T-shirt with the correct password which will be released in advance through the MLB All-Star Game and Twins Twitter accounts will win a prize package including four tickets for each of the five days of T-Mobile All-Star FanFest, plus four T-Mobile JUMP! Lane Passes for each day, four T-Mobile All-Star FanFest Eat and Play Combo packs for each day, entitling winners to a hot dog and soft drink at the Minneapolis Convention Center and one Joe Mauer autographed baseball. Two of the locations will feature prize packages with all of the above, plus a T-Mobile device with a year of service. At each location, second, third, fourth and fifth runner-ups will receive a pair of T-Mobile All-Star FanFest tickets.
Fans that are unable to physically participate in the T-Mobile All-Star FanFest Ticket Hunt will also be eligible to win a prize package, including a T-Mobile device with a year of service, by retweeting a message shared by @AllStarGame later in the day. The T-Mobile All-Star FanFest Ticket Hunt is open to legal residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older.
