Issuing Credit for Unused Tickets
March 3rd 2008
Q. Do sports teams make it a practice to issue credit for unused tickets?
A. Many sports teams offer season ticket holders credit or the opportunity to exchange unused tickets for future games.
I also answered this question in a blog post in January 2007, which you can access here. I also provided a link to the Yankee’s Unused Ticket Credit Program in that blog entry that you can access from the above link.

Season Ticket Holder Benefits
July 14th 2006
Q. In researching season ticket holder benefits, its evident pro sports teams provide many more benefits than college sports. Do you recommend college sports teams offer more benefits to its season ticket holders in an effort to increase season ticket sales?
A. It would be beneficial to college athletics programs to increase its season ticket holder benefits, as well as year-round touch points with season ticket holders. There are many experience-type events that would not cost money, but provide season ticket holders with unique and one-of-a-kind experiences they’d enjoy and share with friends, family members and co-workers who are all prospective season ticket holders.
