“People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” Rogers HornsbyI have been fortunate to find a career (Sports Business) that allows me to not only enjoy going into work every day, but provides me the opportunity to connect both individual people and various organizations with Atlanta Braves Baseball. As a Senior Account Executive in Group and Suite sales, I am responsible for the sale of selling group tickets (20+ people) and private suites for individual games. I work with multiple businesses, churches, youth sports, non-profits and school groups located throughout Braves Country. My business clients have used their Braves tickets for company outings, networking events, business development, and employee recognition. Whereas my non-profit groups, benefit from the Braves’ fundraising program, which enables groups to raise money for their organization while enjoying at night out at Turner Field. In addition, I manage the Ticket Event Team, which is our part-time/gameday staff that handles everything ticket related on game days at Turner Field. As an extension of the Ticket Sales Department, these responsibilities include patio/hospitality management, VIP batting practice access, sales line, pre-game parades and management of our All You Can Eat Seats. The Ticket Event Team also assists with selling Atlanta Braves Kids Club memberships and the 50-50 raffle tickets.If you are looking for a career in the Sports Industry, the Ticket Event Team is a great way to gain the experience to begin your career.
