Wait, is the non-weekend thing correct? I haven't seen that stipulated specifically anywhere.
Seems pretty lame as this was a holiday game and equivalent to a weekend game in my mind. I'm in from out of town, my mom bought the July 4 tickets (great seats!) as a surprise, and we were planning to go this weekend to make it up. It's highly unlikely that I'd be able to make it back for a weekday game.

Yeah, it's true and sorry that may not work out for you.

Fans have been advised to keep their tickets, as they will be good for the rescheduled game. The tickets can also be exchanged at face value for any Monday through Thursday regular-season game, excluding Aug. 6.
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
The Reds really should consider games like July 3 and July 4 "weekend games" in terms of their refund stipulations. That said, I think the Reds' organization is extremely fan-friendly and does a great job. But this is clearly an oversight. July 3-4 are "weekend" games in the spirit of the rule.
Ok....here's what will happen as I am aware of how my luck works. Going into the final day of the season BOTH of these teams will be right on the edge of the playoff race and both teams will be trailing late in the final regular season game (looking definite for this game to be made up the very next day in Cincy) and then a couple fluke things will happen in the Giants game and make this potential game only necessary for the Giants...and the Reds won't care either way making this game both necessary and completely unimportant for the Reds....making my tickets garbage.
I just called the Reds box office (after calling the extremely unhelpful ticketmaster line). The guy was very kind and said they can make an exception for this weekend only given that people were in from out of town and so on. You just have to take your tickets to the window marked "future games" and they will put the cash value of Thursday's tickets toward that day's tickets.
From his quick response and the way he hurried me off the phone, I gather I was not the first one to call with this question... I've always found the Reds box office to be very helpful in these types of situations.

Good to hear that. It seems like that for Opening Day and other games where they sold a lot of tickets that they are limiting the games you can use that raincheck for. It doesn't say that on the tickets, though. It basically says you can exchange it for a future regular season game - subject to availability - for a ticket of the same or lower price. It doesn't say anything about weekends or bobblehead games or Saturday night against the Cardinals. Personally, I think that's a load of crap and they should either change their policy or stick to it.

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

Nope....they can't do it that way because any other game you click on to buy similar tickets to what I had (146 Row B).....they are between $38-$45 dollars depending on opposition or if it's a special promotion (fireworks/bobble heads)......they aren't going to lose the difference, but they will eventually refund or I will have two prime seats already paid for after the last regularly scheduled game.
