U.S. Bank Stadium & Target Field Events/Concerts

3M Club does not offer concert/event tickets at these venues.   Concert tickets at US Bank Stadium & Target Field are not a normal part of 3M Club offerings. Access to tickets at these venues is only guaranteed if you have a suite at the stadium, which 3M Club does not have at this time. That said, we are always trying to increase our offerings where it makes sense.  We are investigating options to be able to provide some tickets to upcoming 2023 shows. If we do get some tickets the number will be extremely limited in relation to what we expect demand will be and it will be put to a random drawing. Keep checking VIVA Engage & The 3M Club Monthly Newsletter for more information.

TAYLOR SWIFT.  3M Club was able to secure 17 tickets for this concert.  Please fill out this LINK to put your name in for the drawing for a ticket(s).  Forms will remain open until 11:50pm on Jan 5th, 2023.  Drawing will take place shortly after.  Only folks in the 2023 membership list for 3M Club St. Paul will be contacted to purchase tickets.

P!NK: 3M Club was able to secure 4 tickets to P!NK's Summer Carnival.  Please fill out this FORM to put your name in the drawing for tickets.  Forms will remain open until 11:50pm on Jan 5th, 2023.

3M Club Frequently Asked ?s

Helpful hints for 3M Club Members:

1. General

a. 3M Club Board of Directors is made up of all Volunteers. We are all full time 3Mers. Please be patient with us and make sure to read all details when emails and Yammer posts are sent to decrease any extra communication that tends to happen. When in doubt, email.

2. Membership

a. 3M Club Membership? Offerings posted on Yammer and in the Newsletter are for 3M Club members. If you are not a 3M Club member or are unsure of your membership, please check your January 3M paycheck to see if money was taken out for yearly 3M Club Dues.

b.  Enjoy volunteering? We're always looking for help at our various events and down the line may have openings on the 3M Club Board.  Fill out this FORM if you are interested in the various volunteering events.

3. Ticketing

a. How do tickets get distributed? Tickets will be made available two ways; 1. Random Drawing 2. Direct Purchase. Most concert and events will be put to a random drawing first, and then opened up for direct purchase only after all members who had expressed interest in the event have had the opportunity to purchase tickets.

b. How are 3M Club tickets priced? Tickets are priced at the incurred cost to 3M Club plus a small percentage to help cover credit card fees. The goal is to provide the lowest possible cost while also ensuring the financial stability of the 3M Club.

c. What is the benefit of purchasing tickets through 3M Club? Most ticketing services (e.g., Ticketmaster or AXS) charge 15-20% in extra fees on top of the cost of the ticket. 3M Club also provides a direct contact for ticket support to resolve issues. Through our contracts with the Target Center and Xcel Center, 3M Club also provides an opportunity to experience a premium event experience in a suite that most members would not be able to have on their own.

d. Did the drawing for concert tickets happen? You will receive an email from the Venue owner only if you have WON tickets. If you did not win tickets, then you will not be contacted. If for some reason there are extra tickets, then the venue owner will reach out to those who put in a request. Also watch Yammer for last minute ticket updates.

e. What are my odds of being able to purchase tickets to the events I want? Odds can vary greatly from event to event based upon demand but all members who enter a drawing are given equal odds of purchasing the ticket. 3M Club has a written process for randomizing an entry list.

f. What happens to any extra tickets to concerts & sporting events? Last minute tickets need to be purchased by a 3M Club Member. Non-3M Club members can attend these events. Prices for tickets will not be discounted.

g. Didn't get your tickets for a game? Please make sure to reach out to your venue owner in enough time in case of technology issues. Life happens, we want you to enjoy the event, but allow enough time & planning for all involved.

h. Will there be play-off tickets for MN sporting events? Please monitor Yammer for up-to-date information on each MN Sports team and the potential for play off tickets. Venue owners will post updates to Yammer and send out an email to retirees.

Enjoy volunteering? We're always looking for help at our various events and down the line may have openings on the 3M Club Board. Fill out this FORM if you are interested in the various volunteering events.

 

Thank you for being a 3M Club Member!
