INTRUST Bank Arena's Jim Sachs Nominated for National Award

CONGRATULATIONS to our long time client and friend Jim Sachs on his nomination!

As reported by Josh Heck, Wichita Business Journal

INTRUST Bank Arena’s director of ticketing, Jim Sachs, has been nominated for a national service award for his work in converting ticket software for Select-A-Seat.

Sachs was nominated by Venues Today, a monthly industry trade magazine. The award honors people for noteworthy achievements or service in the ticketing industry.

The winners will be announced in January.

Sachs is being recognized for his work as project manager when Select-A-Seat converted to new Tickets.com software. Sachs helped structure the new system and trained arena employees as well as those with the Select-A-Seat outlets at Dillons supermarkets.

The new program gives consumers the option to purchase tickets using a mobile device.

Arena officials say the box office maintained daily function during the conversion with limited interruption.
