I was wondering if the AD might consider getting current season ticket holders to aid them in the effort to increase total season ticket holders.

The AD could print off a list of recent season ticket holders who have not renewed in the past few years.  
 

Give this list with phone numbers to the current season ticket holders in good standing and have them call on these who have not renewed and encourage them to “re-up”.  
 

Maybe do it old school phone bank style and buy some pizzas and invite the callers to come back to campus and make it fun.  Thoughts?

Been tempted to visit the trailer. Is it a long wait usually?

I have not been to the new trailer yet, but I hope to soon. image.jpeg

You order at the window. Wait is about 15 minutes. Go into East Side and grab that new NT beer (or beverage of choice) while you are waiting. They have a individual sized deep dish, one pizza type each day (Sunday it was a cheese and basil that was pretty awesome) or you can get their traditional rectangle slice with ingredient options.

Let me count those re's.  I think you included Sanger.

The great thing is that the taste has remained consistent, right down to that tangy sauce they use in the deep dish.

I noticed the sign under the window had three re's. I was thinking the same thing: Sanger, trailer 1, and trailer 2.

I can’t tell if this is serious or parody. 

So what do the people who actually get paid by the AD to perform this job do?

The answer to your question is right there in the original post...it's not like they won't be doing their part.

10 years later you get a call 

I've received calls from Hannah.  Nice girl.  Just having a tough time justifying purchasing tickets again and committing to 10 hours on the highway.

There should be a referral program in place for people to get their friends, family, neighbors, and former classmates to buy season tickets.

The Athletic Dept should also have a table setup at every Alumni Association event in TX trying to get people to buy tickets.  If the staffers aren't available, then reach out to Alum Association season tickets holders to staff the table.  Offer them referral money or discounts off their next season's tickets for providing a contact that the actual AD ticket people can convert to a sold seat.

I can also assume there's a lot of Denton area events like Jazz Fest, NT County Fair, etc that out ticket office could also man a booth at.  Not sure why we're not one of the tents at places like the Byron Nelson or The Colonial, which both have tents from all sorts of people selling stuff a lot less fun than sporting events tickets.  If anything, you're just trying to add names to a marketing list, if you convert those additions to 1 game or season tickets holders down the line and for many years to come, you were successful.  Understanding the marketing funnel seems to escape our AD's abilities.

Having been a season ticket holder for around 50 years, I have forgotten a lot of things.  However, I do remember this being attempted in the past.  Not sure of exactly when or the details now, but maybe some of the "old timers" can help me out.   I believe the current season ticket holders were asked to try and get 5 new ones from people they knew.  Points were awarded and there were some prizes at the end, but I don't remember what.  I believe the current season ticket holders were called "Ambassadors" or something similar.  I don't recall if it involved all current season ticket holders or some who the AD chose to participate.  Too much gone on since then to remember the specifics.

I don't recall how successful the program was, but assume not very much so or it would have continued.  

Anyone remember this program that could add details?

Also want to give out kudos to Hannah as others have.  She has been very helpful  to me and in contact often.  I think she is the best head of the ticket office we have had!

      Don’t tar and feather me, but I don’t think we’ve seen our best logo yet. Get those downvotes ready, but someone has to agree with me. I would like us to try something new.

      Injury Updates?

      You should be able to send it to the AD with a note written on it to request it be forwarded on to him. They should be able to gather them up and deliver them. Of course that requires having a department filled with competent people. I hope that is the case, but history shows that it is not a guarantee. It's a good idea and I encourage you to follow through. I'm trying to motivate myself to follow through on this as well. Something about this injury hit me harder than a lot of other (even worse) ones I've seen. I've got personal reasons that I think may be at play here.

      DATCU stadium

      Just a few Gameday experience notes: 1. I noticed the conference flags were gone. Did we fail to get an Army flag in time. Did we have an smu burning ceremony I missed. Kidding. Living by smu I noticed they had the ACC flags flying off the east side of the stadium for their Friday night tilt. 2. The inside stadium bar area needs some help. Get a sponsor for it and have them take it up several notches. Make that pavilion a fun zone for partygoers. It’s a large space with some solid football viewing potential. It could be elevated to see over the picture takers when the game starts but overall I bought a Reserve drink, hung by the railing and watched the first quarter. Now the sponsor part has potential. Make it a party zone. Bring in a dj and performers. Think Nikki Beach where performers, roam out every 20 minutes and get the crowd fired up, engaged. These performers are sometimes dancers, sometimes runway models, sometimes musicians playing solos to the beat. Love the Nikki Beach concept because it’s high octane festive sexy and fun. The Terrace could be the pregame party inside the stadium before the game starts and social deck after the game begins. Now for a complaint or curiosity. Why can’t you flow in and out with drinks? is it a liquor license thing? I was fine staying in the zone to drink my cocktail and watch the game but people on the outside were telling their friends on the inside to buy their next beer outside the terrace so they could roam around. It felt a bit restrictive and I was just curious why? All pro stadiums sell drinks in the corridors. UNLV has a slick Jack Daniel’s installation bar with tv’s showing games inside the Thomas and Mack. Just curious why the setup. I felt the Gameday experience was good. The music, announcer band and dancers seemed to connect yesterday. That has been a challenge in the past. They kept the entertainment moving. The game wasn’t but the pop moments from the various efforts flowed. The laser light show on the field was cool. But they should have instructed fans to go up in the stands for best viewing. Good job UNT, supporters groups and fans. Beat Tech. GMG

      Mean Green Invasion of Lubbock

      I mean this as no knock to the skill level of anyone in the band, but more broadly. The Green Brigade is just kind of boring when it comes to football bands. When I see bands like Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, LSU, etc., it really stands out.
