Special Offer for FAU Football Tickets
Florida Atlantic University is extending a special discount to Broward County employees for four Owls home football games. Tickets are available for as little as $5 with this special offers. For information on how to order or for more details on this and other special offers, visit the Employee Discounts page on the BC-Net.
Now if they do this same thing for all local govt. agencies, that's a whole lot more people being directly marketed.

I realize we need to fill the seats, but couldn't this be somewhat counterproductive? I see this as losing guaranteed attendance/revenue from season ticket purchases when someone can just wait until the $5 newsletter comes out.
This should change when the on campus stadium materializes, but if it doesn't and even now, what is the true incentive to purchasing season tix?

I want to be right there from the beginning….not that we'd ever get there, but Red Sox fans have to wait for their relatives to leave their seats to them in their will.

We need to build a fan base and reaching into the community is the only way, you hopefully get current Alums interested in supportting their Alma Mater and/or you get fresh supports.
To build a fan base you need to get fans that are supportors for the long run - you can't depend on the fair weathered fans. There is always a trade off and right now it's very important that we get attendance up, which in turns helps us get Donors to help fund not only the Stadium, but the Athletic department as well.
Look at the overall picture and the price for season tickets is still a pretty good value and as the fan base grows, the price of season ticket prices should increas as well, which are priced very reasonably right now.

I guess I didn't explain myself well enough as playing Devils Advocate here.
