Here’s a promotion that should be a hit for those affected by tough economic times: The Triple-A Buffalo (N.Y.) Bisons announced Thursday they will offer four free opening-day tickets to any person who has lost their job. Fans wanting to take advantage of the deal need to show their unemployment debit card or a letter stating their unemployment funds have been designated to a personal account. The Bisons open their first season as the New York Mets’ top affiliate against Pawtucket (R.I.) next Thursday. The Buffalo-Niagara region’s unemployment rate for February was 9.6 percent.
