The main theme of this conversation is the importance of customer service for current ticket buyers. Jeremy Neisser emphasizes that while marketing directors and ticket sales teams are focused on finding new customers, there needs to be an intentional focus on providing excellent customer service to retain and satisfy current ticket buyers.

Jeremy Neisser suggests that marketing directors should help ticket sales teams increase in-park attendance by improving customer service and communication with ticket plan holders.
