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.
