The more people who know about your fundraiser, the better chance you'll sell lots of tickets

Sell at existing fundraiser events for your team

Hold a car wash and offer tickets to customers as they pay for their wash.
Hold a bake sale and sell tickets at the booth as well.

Sell to local restaurants and business

Approach local restaurants, merchants, small businesses, banks, and retail stores and ask if they will purchase a group of tickets to support the group's fundraising efforts.
Ask to speak to the manager or owner and encourage them to purchase tickets to hand out to their employees, favorite customers, or friends and families.

Sell to friends and family members

Beyond your immediate family, talk to grandparents and cousins about supporting your team by purchasing tickets.
A group of your friends may enjoy attending a game with reduced price tickets.

Helpful Sales Tips

• If applicable, wear your uniform when selling tickets so it's clear ticket buyers are supporting your team/group.

• Make it a group effort - go together to sell to local businesses, school events, and youth tournaments.

• Offer a letter of appreciation or thank you card to businesses and restaurants that support the team by purchasing tickets. They'll love to display proof of their community involvement.

• Set goals for the number of tickets to sell based on how much money is needed for uniforms, equipment, programs, etc.

• Even if your group/organization doesn't have immediate needs, begin fundraising for longer-term goals like new scoreboards, future events, etc.

• Continually assess how various types of selling efforts are going and focus on the most productive.
