Have a discounted package for Amateurs to watch the pros. I have run into so many players that were playing the tournament but did not buy the preferred package because of how expensive it was. The discount you could give will motivate many players to buy the package. I strongly believe there will be more revenue instead of less if the USAR does this, because way more amateur players will buy the package.

Have an option for people to watch matches from the back of the court. Watching from the side is NOT even close to the real deal. Why not offer single matches for sale from the back. Buying the whole package or nothing doesn't seem a good idea to me! If I invite someone to watch a match of racquetball for the first time, I want them to get the best idea about the sport.

Just some suggestions......

And how about this although I don't have a solution-

I had a VIP pass but could only watch 3 pro matches. The amateur divisions were all at the Saint Louis Park. Played 2 divisions so I had matches there in the am and evening. Let SLP them get behind by an hour and you end up hanging out there all day. While winning is dang sweet, it means no pro matches to watch.

I was nice when the big screen tv at SLP had the live matches, although there was no sound and no scores on that one day it was broadcast.

I gotta move up so I can play at the Lifetime Fitness Target Center!

That hurts! BTW, where you sandbagging? : )

On a serious note, if they had the option, you could buy tickets depending of your availability and not the whole thing. I think they should give it some thought!

Na, gotta move all the way up to elite to get to the LFTC. I am old enough for CPRT though! :-)

You may or may not know that this year the nationals will beheld in California and ALL matches will be at one club. The portable court will be used and the seating set up will be similar to the Open. The IRT pro nationals will be held in conjunction with the USAR nationals.
We are looking at a number of ideas for seating and ticket prices and are very interested in hearing players comments and suggestions.
