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?

Better put some damned pineapple on that pizza.

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.

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!

For the record, I let Hannah (who I had not met) know that she is getting positive press, props if you will, on this board. She was unaware and flattered. Shon is my guy and he is great, but I wanted her to know she is appreciated.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
