Free baseball tickets if you give blood
The Angels want your blood. Really.
If you like the idea of helping people by donating blood, and you like baseball, then this is a deal for you:
Give blood at the bloodmobile set up at the Big Red Helmet at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and they'll give you a voucher good for two tickets you can use later to selected Angels baseball games.
That appeals to me because I've been feeling guilty about not having donated blood for a long time, and also feeling guilty about not taking my kids to an Angels game this year, so, hey, I can relieve my guilt on two fronts at once! How's that for a great deal.
These are the dates on which you can use your free ticket vouchers. (You must redeem the ticket vouchers through the Angels box office, not online, so the Ticketmaster link is just for your information):
- August 10 Kansas City (friends and family fun pack also available for this game)
- Aug. 13 Toronto Blue Jays (fireworks night)
- Aug. 24 Tampa Bay (friends and family fun pack also available for this game)
- Sept. 7 Cleveland Indians (friends and family fun pack also available for this game)
- Sept. 22 Texas Rangers

The Angels have set aside certain sections from which you can choose your seats. After you donate your blood, you can walk over to the ticket booth and use your vouchers to get the tickets to the game of your choice.
You have to be able to spend 45 minutes or so in Anaheim between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the day you donate.
Individuals may only donate once every 56 days. You must be at least 17 years old to donate. There are other rules about who can donate, check the website for more specifics.
Please complete and submit the online form to request a date and time to donate. A representative from the blood donor center will contact you to confirm your donation appointment.
For more information, please call UCI at 714.456.LIFE (714.456.5433).
How to reach the Angels box office directly (for your information, but they don't have info on the blood drive):
You can call the Angels main office phone number at 714-940-2000 and ask to be transferred to the box office. It is located at 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim(easiest to enter off Orangewood) next to the big red hat at Angels Stadium.
The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 Monday through Saturday, when the Angels are out of town. When they're in town, on game days the box office is open until the seventh inning.
And, by the way, if you can't donate blood but you want a family deal, try the Family Fun Pack.
Here's more information and a list of all the games for which you can buy the Angels Family Fun Pack
