We could learn a thing or two from Mass discounter Groupon who last week featured a deal for the ultimate Chicago Cubs experience. According to sportsbusinessdigest.com, the deal offers the fan pretty much everything except the chance of actually playing.
Specifically, the Groupon deal has the winner receiving a fully personalized Cubs uniform, a personal tour of Wrigley, hold a press conference, and press box seats. The buyer will also attend batting practice with the team, meet the players, and throw the first pitch.
Here's the rub though - the cost for this once in a lifetime offer is $30 000 though all proceeds go to charities Cubs Care and the McCormick Foundation.
According to Groupon's Darren Schwartz:
“Chicago Cubs fans are some of the most passionate in the world and we’re thrilled to offer them this opportunity in our hometown.”
The fan experience with the Cubs, is not Groupon’s first “epic” deal. They’ve previously teamed up with Delta Airlines for a trip around the world, private golf lessons with Graeme McDowell, and an vacation with 80′s boy band — New Kids on the Block.
