Season Ticket and Attendance
So my gf and I made a trip to Boone today. We were talking about the attendance issues and the lack of alternatives available to full season ticket purchases. The conversation led to some discussions on alternative solutions. Looking for some input on this idea, pro and con. What if APP went the way of PSL’s for seats. Say $100 per grants you the right to purchase tickets to games of interest to you a’la cart style? So let’s say you like your seats on the front row second deck on the 50 but can’t swing the weeknight games and ULM doesn’t interest you. So you have until say April 1 to pay your PSL, then June 1 to buy the tickets to the games you can make and after that, they become available in a queue as a single game ticket. If you choose to pick up a game or two later on, then you can, but you may not be guaranteed those seats. Thoughts, drawbacks, enhancements?

Re: Season Ticket and Attendance
I don't hate that idea. I remember when I was a student they had other season ticket options than just the full season. They had options for specific games like rivalry games, family games (homecoming/family weekend) or they also had a pick 3 option. While these don't solve all the problems, I think it would help. The weeknight games are forcing me out of season tickets. I'm choosing to do single game tickets for the Saturdays I can make, plus getting tix for ECU, and Georgia State. As a teacher I just can't swing a Wednesday/Thursday night during the school year.I wish we had those other options so I could at least guarantee the same seats for all games I can go to.

Re: Season Ticket and Attendance
And your situation is the reason for coming up with this model. This allows people to buy what they want and guarantee that they sit where they want and with friends. Mini packs are difficult to market in our environment, as you have to market these plans well before the networks pick games to move. So in your case, let’s say they sold Marshall, ULM and USA together as option #1 and Coastal, GaSo and Elon as option #2. Both look somewhat attractive in February when you buy them, but then ESPN moves the premier game for each after the tickets are bought. Now you have to possibly “eat a ticket” because of work or family.GastonApp09 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:15 pmI don't hate that idea.
