ZachTheZip Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 I wonder if there's any way to get the Rubber Ducks to sponsor the Chuck-A-Duck thing. Makes way too much sense. Quote

Makes way too much sense. So today Webster was out on the court to help pick up the winning duck. My son actually threw it and won. When we went to claim the prize, not only did we get the cash, but Webster was there and ave us a voucher for 4 tickets to any Ducks game this year. My son said it was the best day ever! 6 Quote
Zip JD Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 That is great. Ken Babby, the owner of the Rubber Ducks, is at a lot of the games. It would be great to see the Zips work with somebody who excels at putting people in the seats. 1 Quote

Dude is one of the brightest young business leaders in town. He's become a true Akronite! We've been saying for a couple years that UA needs to learn all they can from the RubberDucks.

morris buttermaker Posted February 10, 2017 Report Posted February 10, 2017 FWIW attendance this yr (3196) is is essentially the same as last yr (3335). If you back out the KSU game last yr-- because it has yet to be played this yr, it is 3196/3203. Some things never change Quote

I hear they're contemplating real ducklings for the duck toss too. Those will bring the people in. 2 Quote

LZIp Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Don't know where else to put this, http://www.cleveland.com/akron/index.ssf/2017/02/crains_akron_business_now_avai.html I have not read the Rubber City Daily myself yet, but it's almost like cleveland.com realized there is a void in Akron news coverage 2 Quote
skip-zip Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Posted February 12, 2017 I wasn't an Economic major, but I see something strange here. We're still a week away from the Kent game, there's only a few hundred tickets remaining (according to the info shared above). Yet, they are discounting them dramatically to sell the rest of the tickets? The supply/demand/price logic that I know doesn't make sense here. Quote

Are you referring to the 3-game ticket package? Quote

kreed5120 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Meh, I didn't see them lowering the price as a means to sell more tickets. The tickets would have sold anyways with that small of a supply left. There will probably be people showing up to buy tickets the day of the game and won't be able too. It's a good way to make STH feel more appreciated and who knows maybe it leads to a few people they bring to buy season tickets next year. Also, if an Akron STH is purchasing to bring a friend, spouse, family, etc. it's keeping those tickets out of a Kent fans hands. 1 Quote
1981 grad Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 I am a season ticket holder and have bought GA tickets numerous times during the season at the window before a game. The first time I bought them and identified myself as a season ticket holder the price was $10. I believe this is a fringe benefit of being a season ticket holder is to buy GA tickets for $10. Great policy since it rewards those people who support the team. 1 Quote

That's not really discounting tickets because it's only for season ticket holders. Not everyone can get them. It's probably to make them feel appreciated and to try to reach a sell out sooner than gameday. Quote

Great policy since it rewards those people who support the team. If this is true I think it's a great idea to give season tickets holders a little perk. Because of my schedule I did not buy season tickets this year & thought they had raised the GA price by $5 this year. Without a season ticket they cost me $15 per. I would have saved $$ if I had just bought a season ticket & simply didn't use them half the time. P.s. Just an FYI, I get GA tickets so I wouldn't be responsible for a disgusting, empty blue seat in the lower bowl! Edited February 13, 2017 by Blue & Gold Quote
