Getting Shareholder Passes via your Brokerage

[BG2008]

If I were a secretary, I will probably win the award for worst admin ever.  Every year, I have an issue where I never can get Berkshire to mail me the passes.  How do you request the passes if you own shares in your brokerage?  I own my share via Scottrade. 

 

Thanks!

I had the same issue except with Merrill Edge.  I bought 1 share of Berkshire last year just so I could attend the meeting and never got mailed one!  There may have been some fine print.. But I ended up just ordering one for $10 on EBay.  I think my capital gain on the BRK share offset the loss on the ticket :))

You have to actually physically request the passes (send snail mail to Berkshire headquarters), and they will mail you up to 4 passes for free. For future reference, their turnaround is about 7-10 days.
