Day 30 - March 31st (3hrs)

Since Warubi as well as Athletes USA work not only in the scholarship business but also in events, the company is heavily involved with ticketing, and always staying up to date with the newest trends. Therefore, I used today as another certification day in getting my “Modern Ticketing Essentials: Beyond the Ticket” certification. This certification was extremely interesting, as it provided me with some insight into a topic that I haven´t really looked into before. It was very interesting to hear from professionals about how they actually plan the different processes and how important the virtual part is for ticketing. One of the major things I learned was how many professional clubs used virtual ticketing during covid to sell not just single tickets but entire season tickets. Virtual images of seats, the arena and the surrounding of the seats were essential during those times. The main takeaway was that fans want to see what they get for their money's worth. If you can provide them with value, they are more likely to purchase something without really knowing how it will turn out. The certification was quite easy, as the preparation videos were very thorough. It got a little tricky towards the end with a couple of harder topics, but all in all it was well worth getting this certification from Front Office Sports. Now I can use my learned skills and bring them into the company for the next event that they are planning and hopefully give some new insight
