September 21, 2018Albany Empire to Add Ticketing Experience to Front Office
The Albany Empire announce that Terry Bradford will be named Manager of Ticket Sales in the front office. Bradford joins the Empire after spending the past three seasons working in ticketing for the Philadelphia Soul.
As the Manager of Ticket Sales, Bradford will oversee all single game ticket sales, group outings, season memberships and fundraisers for the team. The Albany Empire led the league in attendance in their inaugural season, averaging 9,714 throughout the regular season.
“I am looking forward to Terry joining our front office and helping us grow upon the success we had in our inaugural season,” said George Manias, Vice President of Business Operations for the Albany Empire. “Terry’s background in ticket sales will no doubt be an asset to our staff.”
Bradford has worked in the sports industry for six seasons; three with the Philadelphia Soul and three in minor league baseball working in group sales for both the Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Camden Riversharks. A Rutgers University alum, Bradford graduated with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and sport studies.
“I’m extremely thankful and excited for this opportunity with the Empire,” said Bradford. “The support that the community showed throughout the inaugural season was incredible, and I look forward to helping fill the Times Union Center in 2019 as the Empire try to bring another ArenaBowl Championship back to the city of Albany.”
“As the Empire rises, we are continually looking to add members to our team who can help bring quality experiences to our fans,” said Manias. “Terry will lead the charge as we roll our great new ideas and initiatives, helping us continue to give our fans a total entertainment experience.”
