NBC VIP Sponsor Client Ticketing Program at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City The NBC Olympic Ticket Office began on-site operations six weeks prior to the Salt Lake Winter Games when we established vault procedures and secured the $7.5 million, 40,000 hard ticket inventory.

Computer accounts were set up for every program attendee; tickets were assigned to each invitee's account, and then delivered by our highly-experienced staff from the VIP Will-Call and Ticket Services desk.

VIP "gold medal treatment" was given by satisfying every guest's preference - including last-minute ticket exchanges, and co-promotional programs were developed with local / regional organizations resulting in the resale of $750,000 in 'unused' ticket inventory!

Letter of Appreciation from NBC

GMTS was selected to conduct a campus-wide ticketing assessment and needs analysis for the fastest growing four year institution in the University System of Georgia. In the Spring of 2004 the Gold Medal team spent a week at KSU gathering information using focus group meetings and one-on-one interviews with members of every department related to every aspect of ticketing on the campus.

Input and needs analysis from athletics, college of the arts, special events, fund raising, business office, IT, and the box office enabled GMTS to present KSU with a clear understanding of how to consolidate campus-wide ticket operations and select the best ticket solutions for their rapidly growing environment.
