Selling tickets in this economy … and with these records
Even sports teams are recognizing fans don’t have the disposable income they once had to spend on tickets to ballgames. In today’s story, I explored some of the creative ticket packages, discounts, and bundling of food and gas cards with tickets that our local teams and Homestead-Miami Speedway are offering this summer.
I’m wondering, are these options enticing to you? Have you given up season tickets to any of our teams because you can no longer afford them or can’t deal with the losing or both? Are you taking advantage of any of these promotions? Let me know.

The Dolphins ticketing department is a truly special piece of work. I became a first-time season ticket holder last season in the economy section (great timing, yes). I received a call during the offseason from my ticket account person telling me that there was going to be "construction" in my section for this season and they would have to move me. To better seats perhaps? Of course not. To stay in the price level I was in, I would sit in a worse section in a more distant row. I ended up upgrading one price level.
Sure enough, at the first preseason game I found no "construction" in my old seats and they were in fact occupied.
Can't wait to see what excuse they come up with this offseason to try to move me into a pricier section.
