DAY 6
If one can call a 24-hour period a “mish-mash” then the last 24 hours of the 2010 Ticket Tour was a mish-mash.
Meetings, phone calls, paperwork and enough time to sit down with fans and clients and actually SELL some tickets.
On Tuesday afternoon at 1:00, I met with Arnold Asham (not the curling Arnold Asham, but his cousin, the publishing Arnold Asham) at Grassroots News, Manitoba’s leading aboriginal newspaper, and Arnold agreed to renew his season tickets for 2010. During the summer, Grassroots News has a regular full-page feature on the Goldeyes, sponsored by one of our great partners, Valour Tri-West Insurance Brokers. Arnold uses some of the tickets for himself and his family and some as prizes for his readers. Great idea.
Tuesday night, I MC’d the Remembering Our Jets Dinner at Earls St. Vital, and our auctioneer, Bill Knight of Bill Knight Flooring, stepped up and bought a pair of season tickets. Meanwhile, I had a great chat with Joel McInnes, the restaurant leader at that spectacular Earls location, and he and I will have a sit-down later in the week (BTW, the Remembering Our Jets Dinner was a tremendous success).
On Wednesday, I had a meeting with publisher Ray Blumenfeld of WE Publications, a big baseball fan who didn’t hesitate to buy a pair of Club mini pack seats, and then I went over to have lunch with Tom & Joe of 92 CITI FM at the Hu’s Asian Bistro on Ellice. It was Tom & Joe’s monthly VIP Club lunch and this time it was the folks from Manitoba Hydro.
During lunch I met Bob Filep, a former member of the local rock band Chocolate Bunnies from Hell, and a big-time baseball fan. After a long chat about his beloved Toronto Blue Jays, Bob decided he wanted a pair of mini packs and we were happy to help him out.
So that was our 24-hour mish-mash – meetings, lunches, paperwork, contract writing and a few tremendous Goldeyes supporters.
We now have 62 business cards in our draw for that wonderful framed “Winnipeg Goldeyes” print by Roman Swiderek.
