Ticket Sales Tip of the Week and the Stars behind them Week #14
(When Monday is a holiday treat Sunday like a bonus Saturday)
Tracking attendance across MLB, AAA, AA and MLS, teams who recognized the Monday holiday and moved their afternoon Sunday start times to the evening quite simply attracted more fans.
Understanding other variables often dictate the Major League scheduling times slots, the Atlanta Braves Sunday 7pm start last night was the ballparks 2nd highest attendance this season and the Nashville SC (also at 7pm) sold out for the 2nd time this season vs 6 non sellouts.
Minor Leagues baseball- Every AAA and AA team except 1 who moved the start time to the evening posted their best Sunday gate this season.
Milb Stars of the week-
Lindsey Knupp- EVP Rocket City Trash Pandas- Last nights Sunday Night game is the YTD’s biggest gate for the Trash Pandas.
Tim Volk- GM Tennessee Smokies- Eliminated a Tuesday May date and converted into a holiday Monday Fireworks event as tonight’s lone AA game.
