Gulf Pitches Baseball Promotion

Consumers can win Red Sox, Mets, Phillies tickets for fillups
NEWTON, Mass. -- For the fourth consecutive year, Gulf Oil LP is running a ticket giveaway sweepstakes in conjunction with Major League Baseball. With every fillup, Gulf Oil customers can enter for a chance to win choice seats at pre-selected Boston Red Sox, New York Mets or 2008 Philadelphia Phillies games this season.

There are eight First-Prize winners per team who will win two seats at their team's stadium--Red Sox Green Monster, Mets Field Level or Phillies Suite. In addition, Gulf will draw one grand prize winner per team. The Grand Prize is four tickets to a game, [image-nocss] plus a stadium tour.

"This longstanding relationship with the Major League Baseball has been so successful that we have expanded the prizes so more customers can benefit," said Gulf Oil president and COO Ron Sabia. "We know people have many choices when buying gas, and we appreciate that our customers continue to choose Gulf. This program is one way we thank them for making Gulf the premier gasoline brand in the Northeast."

Drivers may enter up to four times with four fillups or receive an automatic entry every time they use their Gulf MasterCard to fill up at Gulf. This sweepstakes runs from April 15 through June 30, 2009.

"We are fortunate to have developed relationships with three of the strongest Major League Baseball franchises in the league," said Rick Dery, Gulf Oil's chief marketing officer. "The Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies have enjoyed World Series Championships in recent years, and we have high hopes for the New York Mets. Such victories help to bring national attention to the iconic Gulf mark."
