Raffling At a Baseball Game
Saturday, March 27th, 2010The baseball season has arrived, and it provides a great time to do fundraising. I have a baseball team client and I sold them on the idea that selling raffle tickets at a baseball game is one of the easiest fundraisers to do. While they will still have to put in some work outside of baseball games, they can sell a majority of their tickets at the game.
Baseball is great because its outside, and people love to be outside. It’s also one of the more fun sports to watch. This draws people in, even people who don’t know the people who are on the team. This provides the baseball team with a great opportunity to sell their tickets. I suggested that the team should offer them at the concession stand because that is a place where people will already be spending money.
As to what they should raffle off, that’s up to them. My client is a minor league team, so I suggested having the whole team sign a jersey and raffle it off. Or raffling off a chance for someone in the audience to throw the first pitch in a game. Or a chance to win season tickets to their games. There are so many good prizes that they could raffle off. I’m sure it will go great!
