College Athletics has a Ticket Retention Problem

Written by FanThreeSixty | September 12, 2022

College athletics has the lowest ticket retention rate across all industries. Teams often lack the necessary time, resources, and solutions to organize their fan data and act on it in real-time. This inability to utilize their fan data limits their capability to engage on a personal level and stunts their capacity to grow revenue.


The industry problem

On average, only 14% of non-season ticket members (non-STM) will repurchase a ticket the following year — ultimately putting 76% of their (non-STM) revenue at risk annually.

Fan attrition accounts for 76% of all non-STM revenue, a loss of which can be upwards of $3M.
