Tickets.com and Agents vs Cancer deliver an unforgettable experience to young cancer patient during Spring Training

March 2023 Surprise, Arizona    As the saying goes, March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, but it also brings back the roar of the crowd to baseball stadiums around the country. To kick off the upcoming season, Tickets.com, Agents vs Cancer, and Surprise Stadium teamed up to provide a special experience for a Banner University Medical Center baseball-loving patient and his family.

Julio Rodriguez is a huge baseball fan and loved playing the game until he was diagnosed with Stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma with multiple areas of metastasis in the fall of 2021. After months of inpatient chemotherapy, surgery, two stem cell transplants, and six weeks of proton beam radiation at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Julio is currently disease free but is at high risk of relapse.

On a beautiful sunny day at Surprise Stadium, Julio and his family made their way down to the field, where Julio threw out the first pitch for the spring training game. The fun-filled day delivered an experience that Julio and his family will never forget.

Founder of Agents vs Cancer, Matt Coulter said about the special day, “Our goal is to deliver resources for families that need a little extra love and support. We are extremely excited about this and are just getting started.”

The entire team at Tickets.com, Agents vs Cancer, and Surprise Stadium wish Julio good health and strength as he continues his fight against cancer.

Tickets.com’s T.Cares Program Helps Raise Funds for the Princess Poppy Rainbow Appeal for Lifesaving Treatment

The parents of a six-year-old girl with stage 4 cancer have thanked Tickets.com and their T.Cares initiative after being left in a desperate race to raise funds for lifesaving treatment. Three weeks ago, through its work with MK Dons Football Club, Tickets.com donated four VIP matchday tickets to the home game against Shrewsbury Town in Sky Bet League One to the Princess Poppy Rainbow Appeal. 

The Princess Poppy Rainbow Appeal was set up by Poppy’s parents, Claire and Ross, to raise funds for potentially lifesaving treatment. Poppy Bailey was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma at just four years old. Her family have been tirelessly fundraising so that she can access treatment options abroad, which could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Tickets.com contacted Claire and Ross – whose local football team is the MK Dons – to offer a hospitality package which they could auction off to raise funds. “We were blown away by Tickets.com‘s generosity, which came completely out of the blue,” says Claire. “Despite everything we’re watching Poppy go through, we’ve also seen the best of human kindness.”

The lucky highest bidder – a local grandfather – was able to take his grandson to see the game at the state-of-the-art MK Dons stadium, where they were treated to premier hospitality, reserved seats on Directors’ Balcony, a stadium tour and visit to the Dons’ dressing room, and were presented with a commemorative gift.

“The prize Tickets.com donated was just amazing,” says Claire. “Our spirits were really lifted watching the auction total rise, knowing local people were supporting Poppy, all thanks to Tickets.com‘s kindness. The money raised really could help save Poppy’s life.”

Natalie Jones – Internal Sales Manager at Tickets.com said the following:

“Poppy is a local girl and I have been overwhelmed watching the whole community pull together to raise funds for her much-needed treatment. All at Tickets.com were delighted to be able to contribute by providing tickets for a fantastic day at MK Dons Football Club. We were so pleased they then were able to raffle these off and all monies raised added to their fantastic fundraising efforts. This shows the important of being active in the local community through the T.Cares program.”

Through the global T.Cares initiative, Tickets.com employees seek to support the communities where they work and live – from charity fundraising and community service, to creating unforgettable experiences for those in need.

Wolf Trap and Tickets.com bring the remarkable to Shriners Hospitals for Children® patient

( Vienna, VA) – September marks the start of fall and the end of the summer season at the Filene Center at Wolf Trap. To mark the end of the season, Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts and Tickets.com put together a special experience for an extraordinary Shriners Hospitals for Children patient, José and his family.

José the Musician:

The Philadelphia team at Shriners Hospitals for Children has seen lots of talented patients pass through their doors. Few patients have had the ability to quiet a room like José.

José, professionally known as José André, is a piano prodigy who plays Jazz, Bossa Nova, Latin American, and World Music. He also happens to be blind.  At the young age of 16, he has already performed at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, Blues Alley, and the Library of Congress. He has also performed internationally in Rome, Kuala Lumpur, and Finland. Along the way, he has shared the stage with various notable artists, including Grammy winners Marcus Miller and Renée Fleming.

José has been playing piano since he was three and a half years old and what is even more surprising is that neither of his parents are serious musicians. He plays the piano by ear and loves to improvise and play along with others. Although he still shares similar interests with many other teenagers, José’s biggest passion has always been music.

“I feel happiness and joy when I play the piano because music is life for me,” said José.

The Wolf Trap and Tickets.com Experience:

To celebrate this incredible musician, Wolf Trap and Tickets.com treated José and his family to a musical evening under the stars featuring Lake Street Dive, a quartet known for their indie rock infused take on classic jazz and soul.

The evening included VIP seats to the Lake Street Dive concert on September 9, exclusive access to Wolf Trap’s Encore Circle Lounge and dinner accommodations on site at The Fermented Pig BBQ at OVATIONS with complimentary drinks, and gifts from Tickets.com and Wolf Trap.

More About José:

Born with cerebral palsy, José began his Shriners Hospital journey after his mother, Giovanna, saw a TV commercial that encouraged her to reach out to the hospital. They were looking for alternative treatments to help with José’s walking.

Over the years, José has received surgery and physical therapy to help straighten and strengthen his legs.. Many staff have come to know him as a hard-working patient with an winning smile and positive attitude about life.

“José is an incredible young man with a huge heart, and it is always a pleasure working with him to help him walk with his walker so he can be more independent when not in his wheelchair,” said Mallory Meyer, DPT, senior physical therapist. “Regardless of what José is going through, he always ensures that the people around him are doing well and can bring a smile to anyone’s face by simply saying hello, talking about football (soccer), and of course by using his incredible talent of playing the piano so beautifully.”

Most people would never know the amount of pain José experienced while walking. Although his walking has improved significantly, he still uses his wheelchair for long distances. He and his parents are grateful for all the profound effect that Shriners Hospital has had on José’s life.

“The care received at Shriners [Hospital] made a huge impact on his life,” said José’s mom, Giovanna. “His legs are straighter because of his surgery. His physical therapy helps him gain strength in his legs, and his occupational therapy helps him gain independence in his daily living skills. José also got a customized wheelchair that he uses for school and helps make things a lot more comfortable for him.”

José’s mom/manager continues to share his story as they travel around the world. She hopes that she can encourage other parents to seek care for children with special needs and that José inspires others with disabilities to follow their dreams.

“José Andre has a special journey, and he has been fortunate to meet people that care for him and helped him achieve his goals,” said Giovanna. “His goal is to be able to have a life that is not defined by his disabilities, but it is modeled by his abilities.”

Email Marketing: Common Mistakes

Marketing your events can fall short if your email messages are riddled with mistakes.

The best way to avoid mistakes is to check your work.  Consider these tips to verify your marketing messages before they go out the door.

Common Mistakes in Email Campaigns 

  1. Spelling & Grammar Mistakes. It’s simple but, extremely important. Proofreading can make the difference between looking professional or not. Make sure to rely on another set of eyes to catch what spell check can miss.
  2. Check for Mobile Optimization. Many of your subscribers are likely to read about your events on their mobile phone. If your images aren’t easily readable on a smaller screen, they aren’t going to get the message.
  3. Check Your Links. Sending your subscribers to learn more about the wrong event can confuse them and lower your conversions. Make sure to check each image, button, and hyperlink.

 

Workflow Approvals

Workflow approval processes are a great way to keep tabs on your mistakes and ensure your messages get evaluated.  Determine if your email provider has a process to facilitate the review.

CrowdConnect the Tickets.com official email marketing platform has a Workflow Approval process built in to make it simple to verify content within a message before deploying your campaigns.  Using a snapshot of the message, workflow recipient(s) can easily review messages, cancel them if they are incorrect, send them if approved, and alternately edit them for corrections.

How can my venue get ready to re-open?

Reopening your venue after this hard-hitting pandemic is likely one of the most difficult operational tasks your venue will take on.  But as the world opens up and begins to embark on its new normal, re-opening may mean surviving yet another tough year.  While the world begins to reopen and embark on its new normal, re-opening may mean surviving yet another difficult year.

Developing strategies to make this possible – can make all the difference.  To get you started – Tickets.com has put together some simple steps to help your venue succeed while keeping your patron and staff safety as a top priority. 

What is Social Distance Seating?

Social Distance Seating in short is making room for pods or groups of the same party to sit with one another, while maintaining a minimum distance from a different pod or group.  

5 Simple Strategies to Social Distance Seating. 

  1. Plan Seating Configuration Accordingly – Consider setting up your venue seating based on general admission configurations (seating by zones) to separate parties.  Alternately consider planning reserved pod-seating.  By examining your venue map and patterns in multi-ticket purchases you can map out an optimal reserved seating configuration to sell in pods.
  • Save Your Seats Appropriately – Use a ticketing platform like ProVenue to manage your inventory with extended seat definitions, and hold codes.  
  • Empower Your Patrons – Provide digital tickets and self-service ticket management for your patrons with a web-application like MyProVenue you can minimize staff and patron contact.  Consider software that has the flexibility to forward tickets while maintaining social distance pods as well as one that makes flexible schedules work.  We all know there will be some movement – so make sure that patrons can manage exchanges, vouchers, and account credits without overburdening your staff.
  • Talk to Your Patrons – In times of trouble – MORE communication is better.  Use whatever customizable text you can to provide your patrons all the information they need to purchase socially distanced seats and enter your venue safely.   In MyProVenue, from purchase flow to event day messages, can be customized to provide guidelines, venue rules and more.  When “talking” to patrons consider using QR codes to quickly direct patrons to key messaging including: how to access digital tickets and safety protocols. 
  • Go Contactless at the Entrance – Pedestals that use Near Field Communication (NFC) technology are a great way to limit the staff scanning at entry and VIP areas as they can be unattended.  Also consider hand-held devices that use NFC to reduce entry friction. Tickets.com makes contactless simple with Alfred, our all-in-one access control solution, which syncs seamlessly with ProVenue our ticketing platform and MyProVenue our patron digital ticketing technology.

THE MOSCOW BALLET BRINGS THE GREAT RUSSIAN NUTCRACKER TO LIFE FOR DESERVING CHILDREN THIS HOLIDAY

In a year filled with so many unknowns and challenges, the Moscow Ballet with the help of Tickets.com brought some holiday magic to those in need.  The experience began with a commitment to support The Young and Brave Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports families of children and young adults during their battle with cancer. 

Throughout the run of the Great Russian Nutcracker, the Moscow Ballet was able to help support donations as well as give two special ballet bears a home in the arms of Kalea & Noah Avery, through The Young and Brave Foundation.  

The surprises and delight did not stop there as the Moscow Ballet was able to offer up more holiday magic with children from three additional nonprofit organizations across the country, BeYoutiful Foundation, Camp Good Days, and Roswell Park, all had an opportunity to meet the exceptionally talented ballerina Anna Trofimova, of the Moscow Ballet this Saturday, December 12 in a live video call.

The event started with Trofimova introducing herself to the children, and showing them different detailed costumes from the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and a traditional red tutu, Trofimova’s favorite color.  Each child then had the chance to ask the ballerina different questions, from “What do you do in your free time?” to “Who is your favorite superhero?”.  

A lot of laughs and fun were had by all, especially the aspiring future ballerinas on the call, and in that moment, life seemed suspended in mid-air like a magic leap.  Following the meeting, the children and their families were treated to an exclusive premiere streaming of the Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker before the public release.  

The Moscow Ballet also donated a number of beautifully crafted Nutcracker books to patients at the Roswell Park Hospital, and as a further token of their commitment to community you can share a digital copy of the Nutcracker story with your family and friends.

And don’t forget to experience the beloved official holiday classic, the Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker streamed safely from home with your loved ones. Get your ticket now.
