Condors' Urbani, Grizzlies' Goldman Named ECHL Ticket Executives of the Year
Published on June 27, 2012 under ECHL (ECHL) News Release
PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL announced on Wednesday that Brad Urbani of the Bakersfield Condors and Will Goldman of the Utah Grizzlies are the 2011-12 recipients of the ECHL Ticket Executive of the Year award.
The award is presented to an individual who has experienced success with the ticket sales process. The winner is selected by a vote of league general managers and ticketing managers.
The other finalists were Chris Augusto of the Colorado Eagles and James Collins of the Ontario Reign.
Urbani met and exceeded expectations in group ticket sales, setting a new Bakersfield individual record in group ticket sales, helping the club set a new team record as well. Urbani completed his fifth season with the Condors and serves as the team's Director of Group Sales, focusing entirely on group outings and fundraisers, and overseeing the sales staff's group sales efforts.
Goldman increased new full season equivalent revenue by 50 percent, and surpassed his group sales goal as well, helping to account for 25 percent of Utah's group sales in 2011-12. He is also instrumental in the team's Pooch on the Pond, which has grown into a two-day event. Goldman completed his third season with the Grizzlies in 2011-12, and was named the team's Ticket Sales Manager last month.
