Questions & AnswersHi! This is Jerry Selzter from the International Roller Derby League for Expert Village. The women tend to promote their own league's and they do it in various ways. They are members wherever they work because they all hold separate jobs. You have to realize they are doing this just for fun and conditioning and they pay to do it. Very different from what we used to do. And they promote individual events by each individual selling tickets. Each league has a PR person. They do poster's and some of the league's are very successful in their bouts especially now they are skating against other cities drawing thousands of people which really amazes people. What amazed me is I went to one in Chicago and the tickets were $15. When I promoted Roller Derby back in the 60's and 70's, our highest price ticket at Madison Square Garden was $6. So you know how they say you were born too early, I guess I was.
