Minimum Numbers for Group Discounts
June 29th 2009
Q. As you consult with sports teams around the country, what do you find to be an average number for minimum number of group tickets in order for a group to receive discounted group tickets?

This past weekend I read a story “Teams Get Their Day In Downturn,” which highlights some creative marketing and promotions from baseball. One promotion – Mortgage Mondays – involves raffling off a mortgage payment, which I’m sure many of the fans in attendance would enjoy winning.

What Fans Spend on Concessions
June 11th 2009
Q. I am trying to get an average per person spent at concessions for sporting events; any suggestions?
A. Below is a link to an article written about the Cowboys new stadium that provides concessions figures for sporting events. I’ve also provided a link to a PowerPoint presentation – Economics of New Stadiums – from 2003 that contains concessions figures.
Cowboys hope Legends serves them well at new stadium
