This is exactly what the New York Giants were hoping for when quarterback Eli Manning returned to the team last month.

On Monday, the Giants announced plans for Fan Fest next month during training camp at MetLife Stadium. The team then announced on Twitter that it was aware of some technical difficulties fans were having with securing tickets to the event.

We are aware of errors fans are receiving while trying to secure tickets for Giants Fan Fest. We are working to resolve them and will provide an update shortly. Tickets will remain available and no one will be shut out!

Thats where Manning comes in. He followed up the tweet from the team account with one of his own:

I am working on this. Part of my new job requirements. Control/Alt/Delete is not working so far.

The Giants announced in June Manning was rejoining the franchise in an off-the-field capacity. In the teams press release announcing the move, Manning made it quite clear hes ready to roll up his sleeves.

After not being able to come back in the facility for a full year, to finally see my former teammates and the individuals Ive spent the past 16 years with like the trainers and equipment guys, video, scouting, management, owners its incredibly exciting to be back, Manning said. Staying involved with this organization is very important to me. I love the organization, love the Giants and the fans, and so I want to do anything possible to help them out and be a part of it. Mannings new role will include several assignments.

Im willing to do anything, he said. But Im focused on the business side with corporate partners and on community relations, which was always so important to me while I was playing here and is something, Ive placed a high priority on throughout my life. Im looking forward to seeing where I can make the most impact in helping the Giants achieve their business and community goals.
