Continuing along the theme of the miserable economy and what sports franchises are doing to cope, the New Jersey Nets have come up with an interesting way to try and get some fans in the door. Fans who are unemployed and submit their resumes to the Nets Job Bank will receive up to 4 free tickets and access to a Nets job fair on November 22 in their arena with the team’s corporate sponsors.
“Hopefully [the tired and miserable will] come out and experience the Nets, and then when times get better they’ll invest in us, because we invested in them,” team president Brett Yormark said. “No other team is doing that, and I think it’s the appropriate thing to do, because times are tough.”
While I applaud the creativity of the Nets’ marketing staff there still exists one problem with this deal, you are forced to go see a Nets game. Maybe they’ll play a really good team…Of course you know that the free tickets will be for some awful team, like the Knicks…
