[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 419584, member: 990"] This suggestion comes up a lot when attendance is discussed and I always have the same question....who are these youth groups? While it sounds great in theory, I am not sure it works. We give away hundreds of tickets to kids on Band Day, yet I am not sure I ever met a die hard season ticket holding sidewalk fan whose Tech fanaticism was born on Band day. Youth groups are led by adults who have to worry about scheduling, transporting, feeding and maintaining safety for a group of kids. Do they see free Tech vs Alcorn St tickets as incentive enough to undertake that job? Additionally a lot of "youth groups" these days are sports teams who almost always seem to have Saturday games/events that preclude their parents from making it to games. While I support the sentiment, hoping to build your fanbase through freebies to youth groups seems like one of those knee jerk ideas that sound good initially, but rarely pay off. If someone has a concrete idea how to do this effecticely, I would completely support. [/QUOTE]
