Not a good use of SECNTWK resources. Who is going to watch this, a smattering of USC fans and then who ?
 
Group sales will be busy giving away tickets to youth programs.


That's actually a good thing. Lots of future fans in that group and will be lifelong fans because they got to attend a game.

A number of years ago I was a mentor to an elementary school kid through their lunch buddy program and was able to get him a ticket to a game with his mom's permission. He told me he had never even seen a college football game. He was in awe the entire game, mainly focusing on Cocky and how big the stadium was- not so much the on the field action. Reminded me that a lot of kids never get to experience something like a college football game.

With the game moving to Thursday night, I hope they can still make it.

Yep. I’m a big fan of group tickets. Worked group sales for minor league baseball for several years. The motto was group sales gets them there one time. It’s up to the team/ venue/ experience to keep them coming back. Btw. We were in the business of selling hotdogs. Not tickets. Group tickets are usually pretty cheap.

If you have ever been to a minor league ball park for a Wednesday afternoon game. Uve seen group sales up close. Daycares galore. It use to be one the busiest weekday gate counts.

Yep- since that happened to me, I've always appreciated all the other stuff going on at games- besides the field stuff. I use to ignore it but when I took that youngster, that's all he cared about and I realized all that stuff is important to someone.

So now when I do attend some sort of sporting event, etc- I try to appreciate everything because something I might have thought as useless before might be the reason someone else actually takes the time to come to the game at all.
