He helps out with ticket sales for all sports: football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and tennis. George also works with season-ticket renewals and group ticket sales.
The coolest thing about his job is the access he gets to athletics.
“I enjoy that because you get sideline access. Once you get done with football games, you go stand on the sidelines. It’s cool to get that access to enjoy the game and be on the sideline with the coaches and players,” George said.
Though he concentrates in ticketing, George is able to get experience in multiple fields.
“Ticketing is a great way to get in. I do facilities as well, game management. You kind of learn everything. I do marketing, ticketing, game operations. You do a little bit of everything, so it makes you well-rounded and you can see what you enjoy.”
