Tuesday, September 8 at Yankee Stadium will play Yankees-Rockies, but a part of the audience has already begun to organize especially for what will happen before the game. In fact, a Naruto card will be distributed at the entrance by Bandai, and in the last few weeks on Airtasker there have appeared several announcements of collectors willing to pay other people because they are present in their place, queue and withdraw the object.
The card will be distributed during NARUTO Night, one of the last theme nights included in the Yankees promotional calendar for 2026. According to the updated information published by the team, it will be delivered to the first 40 thousand spectators present at the game against the Colorado Rockies, scheduled at 19:05, and is presented by Bandai.
Forty thousand pieces are many compared to the other gifts provided in the Yankees calendar. The bobblehead dedicated to Hello Kitty, that of George Constance and that of Josh Hart, for example, were or will be distributed to the first 18 thousand present. However, the Naruto card may be interested in different publics: those who follow the Yankees, those who follow the Japanese series and those who buy and collect trading cards.
It also counts when it is distributed. Bandai’s new NARUTO CARD GAME will be released internationally in the summer of 2027. The card distributed at the Yankee Stadium will therefore be around many months before the game is normally sold in stores, a condition that contributes to the interest of collectors.
For the match against Colorado the Yankees had also prepared a special package for the NARUTO Night. It included the ticket, the guarantee of receiving the NARUTO x Yankees card and band produced for the evening. The packages were available in limited quantities and are already sold out. With a normal ticket of the game, however, the card is delivered only until the 40 thousand copies are exhausted.
From here were born the posts published on Airtasker, the marketplace where users can pay someone to do jobs and commissions. In this case the work is to arrive in the Bronx, wait in front of the stadium, use a ticket provided by the customer and deliver the material received once they enter.
At the end of July, for example, a user has published a $150 assignment plus the game ticket. He would also be present at Yankee Stadium: the hired person asked to line up, enter the stadium and deliver the promotional item. Done that, the Tasker could have watched Yankees-Rockies for free or come home. The assignment was then assigned.
And it’s not an isolated case. Among the recent assignments for people willing to make the line there are several related to the game of 8 September: offers from 75, 125, 130 and 150 dollars, almost always with the ticket already paid by the customer. Some ask to show up around 14:00 and stay in line until the entrances open.
One of the most explicit ads comes from a collector who says he bought more tickets to get more copies of the giveaway. It offers $125 to get in with him and deliver his card, with the ability to earn another $100-250 for each additional card recovered once in.
For those who live far from New York the job can continue even after the game. In another announcement published on Airtasker the client offers 50 dollars to those who will use his special package, will withdraw paper and band and then will send him both items. The instructions are quite accurate: the paper must be inserted in a protective bag and in a rigid toploader, the package must be durable and traceable shipping. Ticket, materials and shipping costs are paid by the customer.
Tributes have long been part of the way the Yankees build the home matches calendar. This year, dedicated initiatives were organised, among other things, in Hello Kitty, George Constance and Josh Hart, as well as evenings with knits and other articles produced specifically for the public.
The official rules for the distribution of giveaways still set some limits. Each viewer can receive only one item for each valid ticket and for each entry, and a scanned ticket cannot be reused to get another card. The Yankees also remember that buying the ticket does not guarantee to receive the tribute and what quantities and modes of distribution can be changed.
