Comments for Could We See Frequent-Flyer Type Programs in MLB Soon? at http://bizofbaseball.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://bizofbaseball.com Sun, 19 May 2013 01:26:29 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3217:could-we-see-frequent-flyer-type-programs-in-mlb-soon&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-790 Every company that operates a frequent flyer/buyer program wishes they had never started it in the first place. There have been frequent attendee programs run by franchises in the past - later to be abandoned (or greatly modified in the benefits provided) due to high costs associated with operating them. They are money drains. - Martin Thu, 07 May 2009 12:52:23 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3217:could-we-see-frequent-flyer-type-programs-in-mlb-soon&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-769 Our minor league team does something similar. Full-season packages have better perks than 1/4 or 1/2 season packages. New this year is a coupon for a FREE food item for every game, not just the ones you have tickets to. :) - Galley Fri, 01 May 2009 14:05:39 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3217:could-we-see-frequent-flyer-type-programs-in-mlb-soon&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-768 I feel like the St. Cardinals had a type of fan reward system set up, I remember seeing kiosks at old Busch Stadium. The old Indiana Firebirds of the Arena Football League had a rewards program where when you showed up to events, or tailgated you would get a coupon code to redeem for points on their site, going to games would get points, when you watched a game or listened to a game they would give out a code and then you could redeem them for gifts. - TorgosPizza Fri, 01 May 2009 11:36:54 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3217:could-we-see-frequent-flyer-type-programs-in-mlb-soon&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-767 edit: second line--"should not think" Sorry. - bmfc1 Fri, 01 May 2009 09:58:52 +0100 http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3217:could-we-see-frequent-flyer-type-programs-in-mlb-soon&catid=26:editorials&Itemid=39#comment-766 MLB needs to be careful with the wording of such a program. Rewarding frequent attendees is a good idea but MLB should think that those fans are "better" fans or more loyal" than anybody else. You can be a loyal fan and never go to a game. You might not have the money, or the ability, to get to a game, but still can be a loyal fan of your team. Is the rich guy that has season tickets but gives away 100 of the games more loyal than the fan that scrimps and saves to get cable and watches 162 games on TV? Of course not. - bmfc1 Fri, 01 May 2009 09:57:48 +0100
