Are $1 Concession Items Hockey’s Ticket?
March 27th 2007
I was reading through a series of promotions a hockey team is hosting this season, and the $1 hot dogs and $1 French fries offered for a Friday Family Night are attractive offers to get a family interested in attending a hockey game.
What I found interesting, though, is the hockey team didn’t offer a family ticket special, only the $1 concession items. I’m curious if the $1 concession items – keep in mind families need to purchase expensive soft drinks in souvenir cups! – are enough to persuade families to attend a hockey game…especially those first time attendees.

Kids and Seniors Ski for Free
December 15th 2006
I was reading a magazine on one of my recent business trips and learned that kids and senior adults – under six and over 79 - ski free at many ski resorts around the country.
It’s very similar to kids eating free at restaurants and the NCAA’s Take a Kid to the Game program where colleges offer free or discounted tickets to kids with paying adults.
These are great programs to bring families together to enjoy an evening of sports and/or entertainment at an affordable price. Although not all ski resorts and colleges offer these programs, there are some who offer more liberal freebie policies.
For example, at Sun Valley, kids ski free up to age 15 and the Take a Kid to the Game program is for kids up to age 14.
