HTA 450 Event Marketing and Sponsorship
One of the events I attended was the Missouri valley tournament, which was a great experience. There were a few things they did to make it a great tournament, they got together during the week to plan on how they can make that tournament a great one. A group of people put all they ideas together and come up with the best idea that won’t cost too much but it will make people look forward to the tournament. One of the big things they did was have a good half time show. They hired professional people to do stunts that only they can do like flips and dance. That really spices things up for people to look forward towards the half time of the game. Also when people first get to the game they have different activities you can be a part of to be able to win prices, shirts tickets etc. They also have game tape for sell right after the game to your favorite team in the tournament for family’s and friend to get. Also a big part of having a good event is the location you are hosting it at. Things I saw that they can improve in the ticket sales, they only have a specific amount of ticket for each team as far as free ones for your family if you are a player. I think they should have more because some players have a lot of family who drive 400 of miles to come see them play and they wouldn’t want to also have to pay for the whole weekend plus the hotels and other things. Another thing I saw that could improve is on the amount of time things take,
