Break Into Sports Through Ticket Sales

This book gives you a good idea of the current ticket landscape (even though it was written several years ago) and what can be done to put fans back in sits. Mr. Washo tells you what you can expect from a life of selling tickets. Compensation, work/life balance, job duties, etc. The reality that many people seem to overlook when considering working in sports is that in the overwhelming majority of opportunities you are going to have to sell something, especially at the entry level. Tickets, advertising, or gaining media coverage whatever it may be, the skills you can obtain from selling tickets can be used in many fields in and out of sports. If selling tickets ends up being something you have success in and enjoy, then there are going to be opportunities to advance your career. Due to the increased role the media now plays as an alternative to attending a game, the efforts to sell tickets will continue to increase and provide opportunity for those who display ability doing so.

This book is well worth the read! Lothar M, the reviewer who quotes that this book is a waste, is absolutely wrong. Don't be slighted by such an ignorant and inaccuarte book review. I found this book to be incredibly informative and a great buy for the content at $20 dollars. I will look for future titles by this author on this subject matter for sure!S. Seigle

Great book easy read! I work in Real Estate and was able to pick up alot from the concepts in this book towards my sales and marketing. This book applies to everyday marketing and sales skills which are essential to make it in the business.

Don't waste your time and money on this drievel... Strange how one of the 5 star reviewers is one "Jeff Washo", isn't it?
