It should be a good idea.
…unless any season-ticket holder is holding upper level seats for the season. Then they might be upset. That’s probably not likely, though.
My worry is that if you do too many of these promotions, the attitude becomes, “I’ll just wait for the next (near) freebee to attend a game”.

They don't
sell season tickets in the upper deck. In fact they rarely open it during the regular season. It has been open on a few weekend game but there’s barely any people up there.
I agree that they can’t do this too often but I love the idea at this time
