Introduction to the coursework

‘All time management begins with planning’ (Tom Greening quotes, Poet/Writer)

Our company “Coventry City events “is planning to organise an event at Wimbledon Centre court. It is going to take place on 8 of May 2016 at 7 am. Our team consists of four managers that make up the operations team: Alexandros Efthymiou (Facilities Manager), Lambros Bikas (Event Manager), Diwesh Juneja (Operations Manager), Mahendra Audi (Marketing Manager).

We have planned to organise an Ultimate Fighting Championship in Wimbledon Stadium London, U.K. Our product is UFC women’s Bantamweight title and Men’s Featherweight title fight at the centre court of Wimbledon arena has the capacity to provide both quality and experience to more than 15000 audience.

Issues that were a hurdle in executing our plan are as follows:

Political Financial Social Technological

Because of these issues the problems that we have faced were:

Difficulties faced in getting the permission to organise UFC in Wimbledon Problem regarding getting sponsors to invest in this huge and costly event Public’s reaction about this event Procuring and assembling of necessary equipment’s for UFC

As a team we have left no stone unturned in solving the aforesaid problems using relevant theories of sports management and made this event feasible and profitable.

Venue Analysis

The Venue is going to take place at the Wimbledon Central Court. “The central court is the main court of the Wimbledon Championship. It is considered the world's most famous tennis court. Its retractable roof was completed in 2009, and capacity increased to 15,000 by adding six rows of seats to the upper tier on the east, north, and west sides” (Open Building, 2015). For the UFC event we are going to add 300 standing tickets.

New media facilities, scoreboards including video, and commentary boxes were built to replace those currently in the upper tier. New wider seats were installed and new additional stairs and lifts were added (Open Building, 2015).

3 | P a g e

Page 5: Coursework-telos

The roof takes up to less than 10 minutes to close, during which time play is suspended. The air-conditioning system can acclimatize nearly 25,000 people for indoor-grass competition.( Design Build, 2015)

The scoreboard was one of the more recognisable parts of Centre Court which were replaced in 2008 by full colour LED screens intended to provide full Hawk-Eye replays to the crowd in the stadium (Triposo, 2015).

Central court dimension: Stadium – 110m long x 119m wide x 19m high. Area of grass - 41m x 22m. BBC is our host broadcaster (Wimbledon , 2015).

Team Roles

The Event manager role

The event manager role is to confirm, oversee all decisions made, control the activities of individuals and generally act as a central intermediary. My role as an event manager will be to co-ordinate all the decisions of my subordinate managers, to take permission from the local authorities and all the other authorities and association related to our events, to employ the employees for the different tasks and induct them on their roles and oversee all the pre match, match time and post-match activities. (Udemyblog,2014)

Marketing manager role

Marketing manager’s role includes making an UFC event special for our customer and to give them the best UFC lifetime experience. My aim is to ensure that the event is properly advertised and marketed in the consumer market and see to it that the event gets the right platform to be successful.

My roles will include using the best marketing techniques to know the strengths and weaknesses of the events and then concentrating on strengths to capitalise on market opportunities.

Page 6: Coursework-telos

Operations manager role

Operation manager is a top level manager who looks after the provision of services. My aim as an operation manager is to make sure that the UFC event is running as well as it possibly can, and meets our customer’s needs and expectations smoothly and efficiently. My role as an operation manager of the UFC event will include managing the budget, operating the logistic facilities, strategizing operations, manage support service and manage third party relation.

Facilities manager role

Market Analysis

The event attendee looks for a ‘Lifetime experience’ - Allen et al. (2011) and something that will be remembered as interesting memorable and exciting. So this is the reason which led my group to come up with the event which will be memorable, excitable and interesting for the MMA and UFC lovers across the globe.

Before we can start with an event we need to look at our capabilities and how we are positioned in the market and evaluate the marketing strengths. So we considered doing a SWOT ANALYSIS.

STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS  Stakeholders could be individuals or groups that have some form of interest in the particular event. This interest may be financial, emotional, political or social. Freeman (1984) defines stakeholders as “any group or individual that can affect or is affected by accomplishment of the organization’s objectives“ . Nokes et al (2003) believe effective communication with stakeholders allow the organizations to gain support from them, which consequently becomes the significant factor in a successful project. More specifically in UFC fights hosted in Wimbledon arena our stakeholders are employees and volunteers , service and contract providers , emergency services ( ambulance service, police , fire service etc ) , security services , local council , transport services , regulators , funding bodies, sponsors and companies and the media. We could separate our stakeholders to Primary that without them the event could not take place (employees, suppliers , volunteers, sponsors and funding bodies, spectators and participants and Secondary that don’t have the same impact (government bodies, emergency services and media) (Reid and Arcodia , 2002) . However, their significance is not to be underestimated. O’Toole (2011) states that appropriate classification of stakeholders, allows the event organization to communicate and manage stakeholders efficiently. In order to gain competitive advantage stakeholder management is really important.

MARKETING

PESTLE Analysis PESTEL analysis is a tool to analyse the external factors which can affects the working of our company. These factors have direct or indirect impact in conducting UFC event.

Political 12 | P a g e

Page 14: Coursework-telos

As to overcome all the issues we have taken some measures so that they will not become our hindrances. These measures are as follows • Registration of the Wimbledon court 6 months before the implementation of the event • Signing the contract as per the terms of the existing government rules and regulations • Signing the terms of the taxes as per current taxation policy • Talked with the Lawn Tennis Association for the part of revenue to be shared Economical

• Proper analysis of the inflation rate at the time event will take place • Study of the economic terms and policies of the government • Signed the terms regarding the exchange rate and the tariff change

Social Social factors affecting our event may include age distribution, target customers, economic profile, etc. The solutions for overcoming these problems are • Making the proper distribution and arranging a special area which covers old people and disabled from the crowd• Special sitting arrangements for the ladies and kids • VIP Box for targeted spectators • Standing stands for the middle class people

13 | P a g e

Page 15: Coursework-telos

Technological Technological factors have taken under consideration are communication methods, outsourcing and new ideas to make the event unforgettable. • Imposition of new marketing strategies and communication through the different source of media and publications • Installation of safety stands for the spectators • Wide media coverage and screening at various locations

Environmental

There is a relief that a company faces only some of the issues in this factor of PESTEL but we cannot neglect this issue as it is an important factor which is to be taken into consideration. Environmental factors which can affect our event can be pollution targets, ethical and sustainable means of business and environmental regulations of the government, which we have taken care of already and for the factors such as rains we have already sought that out by having access to the Wimbledon roof.

Legal

Every country has its own legal policies and for organising UFC in U.K we have kept all the legal issues and policies of government in our mind. Some of the legal factors include employment law, consumer protection law, international law and regulations and advertising standards.

As to make this event successful and feasible, we have worked ethically and legally with the government and Lawn Tennis Authority of U.K

14 | P a g e

Page 16: Coursework-telos

Market Research For an eventThe main aim of conducting a market research is to try to reduce the risk of unsuccessful event, and to have an idea about expectations of event attendees.

-For which we put up an online questionnaire on our website

- Research proposal to the sponsors. The main sponsors and the Sub sponsors

Use of MARKET BREAKDOWN CALCULATOR (MBC) to predict likely attendance and by attending similar events to observe the participants, consumers and record the observation of attendee.

EVENT MARKETING MIX

PRODUCT

An event is not a physical product, it is intangible so in order to carry out an event we have to understand the event experience which appeals the attendee.

15 | P a g e

Page 17: Coursework-telos

Our product UFC women’s Bantamweight title and Men’s Featherweight title fight at the centre court of Wimbledon arena has the capacity to provide quality experience to the viewers.

PRICE

Pricing strategies should reflect our objectives and also offer customers value for their money. So we also took price of our competitors into consideration. We set a price of the tickets which will cover up our all the costs and give us profits as well as it won’t be possible for higher middle class to buy the tickets.

Tickets Price

Standing 500£Box seats 1000£Lower level seats 450£Pavilion level seats 250£Terrace level seats 200£Suites 520£

We have decided to use ‘UPGRADING’ pricing strategies for the BOX seats and Suits.

PLACE

Place is where the event experience is delivered and also where the distribution of ticket sales takes place.

For the ticket sales we have decided to provide 90% of the virtual ticket selling on the official websites of UFC.com and the Wimbledon.com.

10% of the in-house tickets will be around the city of the venue. That will save a lot of cost of employing ticket sellers and customers now a days are more comfortable in buying the tickets online.

PROMOTION

A promotional map is an important technique in the positioning of an event. The success of the event largely depends on how you promote and market the event.

16 | P a g e

Page 18: Coursework-telos

Internet marketing and E- marketing: Creating a Mixed marital art event website, Digital television, use of digital customer data and sending them emails.

Mass media: use of mass media for the promotion of an event. BBC is an official media broadcaster for the Wimbledon so we can use them to broadcast the event and also use for advertising of the event.

Early bird ticket pass: To generate excitement and even to generate some income which can be used as a daily event expenses way before for putting up the event. It can be done in 2 phases on the official website 6 months before the event giving 10% discount to the 100 tickets of all 6 stands. The early bird will be available for just 1hour on the website the selected day and in the 2nd phase the early birds tickets will be just available for half an hour and both phases it will be on 1st come 1st serve basis.

Upgrade tickets: instead of giving discounts to the customers we can give upgrade tickets where the customers will enjoy additional service with the same price.

Press conferences of the Fighters

People: Free UFC merchandise to the volunteers of the event so they can cherish the goodie and the experience for the rest of their life. As keeping the relationship with the people who work with your organisation is very important.

Process : All the processes in the event should be done by keeping the potential customers in the consideration.so the delivery of all the services is very important.

Physical evidence:

We are going to create an ambience for the customers which will be a life time experience as 4 world’s best mixed martial arts fighters will be fighting for the titles and the guest performance by Adele with Snoop dog will excite the crowd.

Special layout for the people who wants to see their favourite fighters fight where they can stand very close to the ring and cheer their favourite fighter. The event band with the name UFC for all the ticket holders so that they do not have to worry about carrying the tickets carefully.

Project Process

UFC

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is one of the largest mixed martial arts organization in the world, originating from the full contact sport of Vale Tudo in Brazil and it was created in the United States in 1993. It is a hybrid martial art, including boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). It offers more sight and, as a martial art, it is more comprehensive. It requires that someone knows more combative style in order to bring the desired results and to be better prepared. It is played inside a cage referred to as “The Octagon”. UFC hosts more than 40 fights each year amongst the top-ranked fighters in the world and matches are being held around the globe. UFC is consisted of 9 weight classes ranging from 115 pounds to 265 pounds and there are three ways to win a fight: Knockout, Submission or Decision. Rounds are five minutes in length and there are typically three rounds in a contest. (UFC,2015).

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

MMA is definitely the sport of the future and through the years will evolve more. In the recent years, the popularity of MMA is really popular in UK. Lot of tournaments take place every year in UK venues, while the broadcasting fees are high. The previous show in London

19 | P a g e

Page 21: Coursework-telos

was a complete sell-out. Actually the show broke Wembley’s Arena’s gate receipt record producing about 1.3 million for a crowd of 10349.Taking into account that the venue hosted nearly all the big music stars, that’s not a thing to underestimate, while there are plans to host shows in London’s O2 arena, the Manchester Arena and Dublin. (MIRROR,2013) Considering the overwhelming passion for UFC shown by the fans here in UK, the objective is to fill the stadium with crowd and offer them the best possible spectacle, something memorable as it will be the first ever UFC match in one of the best tennis courts around the globe.

SAFETY MEMO

One of the most important duties of event manager is to protect safety and health of all the people working or coming to the event. Therefore Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 should be supported and promoted throughout the event. Processes and procedures must be created to monitor crowd levels along with trained staff to secure safety. Good communication and cooperation is required between all members of the staff, the management and the emergency services. A risk assessment could be conducted where both physical and behavioural factors need to be taken into consideration. The event manager must remember that Wimbledon is made for tennis and not for a UFC fight, so there could be some improvements or changes of the safety criteria. Finally event passes must be printed for the management team, volunteers , media and spectators. There are used to identify staff and crew at events and are an addition to security accreditation.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste management Waste management is a critical issue of our event. Surveys have shown that around 70% of people believe that waste is a negative environmental of events. Wimbledon acts in a responsible way to protect both people and environment. Our aim is to conserve all natural resources by the use of energy management and recycling. For this reason, during the event trade and catering waste services, eye catching wasting stations, waste disposal and recycling, litter picking teams and mini waste stations for smaller areas are going to be used. People participating in the event must make sure they always use the correct bin for recycling. Our well trained staff is going to resolve any problem is presented. The event motto will be “YOU CAN BE SUBSTANTIVE, IF YOU THINK GREEN”.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Furthermore the event manager needs to identify the target audience. Dana Frederick White, president of UFC organization recently commented “Our target audience is

20 | P a g e

Page 22: Coursework-telos

anywhere from age 17 to 35”. However the creativity of this event could attract older people too.

ADVERTISING

Another important part to consider is the advertising of the event in cooperation with the marketing department. All forms of today’s advertisement could be used like newspapers and magazines, radio, television, public transports advertisements, chain mails, fly posting and last but not least internet and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). An advertising must be set beforehand, while selling advertising space in the event could earn extra revenue stream.

EVENT SCHEDULE

The event will take schedule on 8 of May at 7 am. Spectators are kindly requested to be in the ground approximately 1 hour before the event begins. The UFC president will give a short speech to the crowd welcoming them in London and then the first match will take place.

7pm Short speech from UFC President

7:15pm Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm

8pm Special guest performance by Snoop Dog with Adele

8:45pm Jose Aldo vs Conor Mc Gregor

9:30pm Post-event winning ceremony

10pm End of the event

Page 23: Coursework-telos

CONCLUSION

There was a clear evidence before analysing this UFC event that the success of the similar events organised by the other organisation. UFC is the new trend in the market which is being loved by people all across the world and the analysis done by the various media about the UFC events showed that it is loved by the Europeans the most. The last UFC event was held in London at the o2 arena on 8th march, 2014 and it drew a crowd of 14,604 and earning them two million dollar gate. That is the reason for choosing UK as the venue for the event. The unique collaboration of UFC and Wimbledon is going to give even a decent crowd which enjoys tennis at Wimbledon a chance to experience the above par ambience of UFC. The event is supposed to be held in a Wimbledon which is going to give us an extra edge over other competitors as you see in the SWOT analysis. Our major strengths are the loyalty of the customers towards the Wimbledon brand so we can take advantage of the brand reputation. The expected profit from the event is 1769500 i.e the difference between the total income of 6464500 and the total expense of 4695000. Moreover, we came across with few challenges which could be easily handled as we have shown above in PESTEL.so overall we can conclude that it is very feasible project which will give us ample amount of opportunities to earn profit and opportunities to organise more such events in the future.
