But instead of paying in US dollars, you can buy a seasonal suite for six for one bitcoin. To book a room for the entire season and coordinate a secure crypto-currency payment, contact us at suites@athletics.com, the ad says.
We invite our fans to become the first bitcoin suites in the sport, A’s president Dave Kaval said in a statement. We are happy to be one of the few teams that accept cryptocurrency and the first team to charge tickets in cryptocurrency instead of US currency. House prices can fluctuate depending on when they were purchased, which makes things even more interesting.
According to A’s website, the suites not only offer space for six people, but also free snacks and a separate lounge for each suite. According to the California Health Code, Ballpark A is currently only allowed to be open at 20% of capacity, which is about 11,000 people. The bitcoin offer ends on the 1st.
