At Coca-Cola Park, there’s ‘soup for you’
‘Seinfeld’ actor will be on hand to greet fans at June IronPigs game.
No soup for you!
But what you may have is the chance to meet the “Soup Nazi,” aka Larry Thomas, from the classic episode of “Seinfeld,” at a June 11 IronPigs’ game.
Thomas will participate in a special pre-game VIP session limited to 75 people, before making appearances around the ballpark during the game. Tickets for the VIP session — which cost $75 and include an exclusive meet-and-greet with the actor, game ticket and a special Soup Nazi T-shirt — are now available.
You can also buy a package that includes a field-level ticket and a Soup Nazi T-Shirt for $30. The ‘Pigs will be hosting the Gwinnett Stripers.
You could wait and take your chances (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but tickets are likely to go fast if recent history is any indication. Last week, when the IronPigs announced a similar offer to meet Leslie David Baker (Stanley Hudson from the hit show "The Office"), the VIP session sold out in less than four hours.
“The Soup Nazi” episode of “Seinfeld” first aired Nov. 2, 1995. The show’s main characters — Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine — visit a shop that has incredible soup but is run by a man with a fiery temper, who insists that his customers order a certain way. If you fail to meet the ordering standards, as Elaine did, “No soup for you!”
