Old Fashioned Social Networking!
Even with the growth of Social Networking in Cyberspace, there is still a need to be able to "socially network" in person. Long before computers, people actually meet "face to face" at various functions in order to network. Even though the internet has made it extremely easy to network, you still need to be able to socially network the "old fashioned" way, i.e. "face to face". Eventually if you want to achieve your personal/business goals, you must eventually network with others "face to face".
When dealing with season tickets, you can sell all your tickets online and have no "face to face" meetings. But in order to expand your selling space, you must be able to socially network "face to face". Sometimes you can find new customers just by networking. Several times this season, I have sold tickets to someone who is a friend of the person that I orginally had contact with. Word of Mouth is the best advertising anyone can get!
Sometimes things happen that you do not expect from networking. I've found this to be very true for myself this past 4 months. While posting on CraigsList.com I also look for posts from people looking for tickets. I answered one such post about some Angels tickets for a day game back in April. Lo and behold, the person responded to the offer about my tickets (you don't always get a response from your email). It ended up that they found other tickets to that game, but we ended up exchange phone numbers since I was already planning on going to that game, I said "let's meet up at the game", and I can show you the seats that were in my post.
It ended up that they are in the startup phase of a new business, and they inquired about if I knew someone with a particular "skill set" who they needed for work with their startup. I put the startup person in contact with my "skill set" person. Sometimes things don't always work out like you expect them, but sometimes you can be "pleasantly surprised" from the unexpected outcome from your efforts.
