Ticket Sales Payment Plans

July 30th 2007

Q. We have invoiced season ticket holders once each year and usually have two to three installments we ask for payments to be paid in full.  What other payment plans exist and should we be considering?

Utilizing Holidays to Promote Ticket Sales

July 23rd 2007

Q. We did not run ticket specials the week leading up the Fourth of July and I was asked why we didn’t consider running ads – or conduct a promotion – to promote ticket sales, even though it’s our off-season.  Are holidays, like the Fourth of July, a good time to advertise ticket sales for fall and winter sports?

Q. I noticed you switched from a “Question of the Day” to a “Question of the Week.” Is there any particular reason?
 

A. I asked for feedback from friends, associates and those who read our blogs on how I could improve, and the feedback I received encouraged me to move from a daily posting format to a weekly posting format.
 

In addition, I received feedback and requests to dedicate one blog to ticket sales and services only, so that’s something we will look to accommodate in the months ahead, along with other ticket sales-related resources. (more…)
