Discounts for Sporting Events

Return to overview of Senior Discounts

Seattle Mariners
The Mariners are offering flex pricing meaning that the prices vary by day of the week, opponent, etc.
10% Senior Discount. Fans 60+ receive 10% off select Main, Terrace and View Level seats at all home games. Limit one ticket per ID. Valid ID required. Available in-person only at Mariners Team Stores and Safeco Field Box Office. Cannot be combined with any other offer.
In the past, the Mariners have sponsored an annual AARP Day where $60 Terrace Club tickets can be purchased for $39. That offer is not yet on the schedule for 2018.

Other sports

Tickets for many major sports such as the NFL Seattle Seahawks are too much in demand to be discounted.

Sports like soccer, tennis, rodeo, swimming and track often offer senior discounts. The age requirements for these discounts will vary depending on the event. Usually they apply to those 60 years and over, but keep an eye out for discounts that begin at age 50 or 55. You can expect to save anywhere from 10% to 20%, but for those events that have senior days the savings can be substantially more, sometimes 50% to 75%.. Often, the best way to find them is by calling the box office because the discounts often don’t appear or are difficult to find on web listings; and many ticket sales are now offered through third party companies like Ticketmaster, and very often the senior discount tickets cannot be purchased through these types of sites.

TSO Student Organization’s Activities and Plans

In the meeting, Jerry led the discussion about the TSO Student Organization’s activities and future plans. TELOS had 20 classes in the winter quarter, with 5 being canceled, and 325 registrations. However, there was a question about the organization’s impact and whether it should continue. The group also discussed the upcoming spring quarter, with 16 classes planned for spring quarter. Fewer classes and registrations expected in summer. The possibility of adding another session of the generative AI for daily life class was also discussed. But George Liu now has a full time job and is not teaching at this time.

As always thanks go to Donna for collecting and sharing the TELOS class and registration information.

Esteban’s Role and Program Updates

Jerry, Ted, and Phil discussed their meeting with Esteban Maldonado, the new Director of Continuing Education and IBIT. Esteban was described as honest, earnest, and interested in their work. Phil suggested asking Esteban for an update on the college’s pulse regarding their program in their next meeting. Ted emphasized the need for Esteban to focus on their mission and not just be a nice face. Jerry noted that Esteban took over Liz Hollerman’s responsibilities, including the IBIT program, and expressed satisfaction with Esteban’s support for their program. The team agreed to send a note to Esteban, asking about the decrease in course numbers and what they can expect in the future.

Advertising and Instructor Recruitment Discussion

The team discussed the use of funds for advertising and instructor recruitment. They considered donating remaining funds in the TSO Student account with Student Programs to the foundation for more advertising and instructor recruitment. The team also discussed the process of hiring instructors as contractors, which simplifies the hiring process. The treasurer’s report showed that no money had been spent since the last meeting, leaving around $5,000 in the TSO student account. The team also discussed the potential for cross-advertising between Edmonds Creative Research Institute and Bellevue College.

Council Considers Disbanding and Storage

The council discusses the possibility of disbanding and agrees to make a decision at their next meeting on May 28th. They consider holding a final general meeting if they decide to disband. Jerry mentions the need for someone to update the website with meeting minutes, suggesting they might recruit a student for this task. The group also discusses the storage booth they have on campus, questioning its usefulness and contents. No new business is brought up, and the meeting is adjourned.
