More and more NBA teams have started a new tradition. To get season ticket sales for next year they are giving you the option to start this year. The gimmick is that you pick your seats for next year, but you get the seats starting this year’s playoffs. Depending on the team, you might not even have to pay for all the seats till after the playoffs.
This is a good situation for anyone looking to broker NBA tickets.
A few facts to keep in mind:
• NBA playoffs potentially have 16 home games
• Each of the games is one of the higher profit games you can have
Selecting one of the top four seeds in each conference gives you pretty good odds of securing some home field advantage seats. This is not without risk. In 2006 the Dallas Mavericks went to the NBA finals. In 2007 they had the NBA-best record heading into the playoffs (67 wins). They were guaranteed home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They lost in the first round to Golden State 4 games to 2.
While the Mavs 2007 season is an anomaly, carefully consider this going into this years playoffs.

State of Baseball
One must read the following article on the state of baseball.
http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/other_mlb/view.bg?articleid=1080264
If anyone was wondering if the Mitchell Report was going to have a negative impact on MLB ticket sales, the answer is a load and clear NO. Let’s look at MLB total attendance over the last few years
2003 67,630,052
2004 72,968,953
2005 74,385,295
2006 75,997,622
2007 79,493,687
2003 2007
Number of teams exceeding 4M attendance 0 1
Number of teams exceeding 3M attendance 5 10
Number of teams exceeding 2M attendance 19 24
Number of teams exceeding 1.5M attendance 25 28
The expectation is that ticket sales will exceed 81 million in 2008.
In short, prices are skyrocketing but so is demand. Even the Tampa Bay Rays have increased attendance by 300,000. Hopefully $81,000 for a season ticket plan will remain an anomaly in New York, but considering it has gone up in price 81 times over 35 years, other team might be a decade of so behind.

Tigers are Roaring
Early ticket sales for the Detroit tigers are going fast. During the first weekend of single game ticket sales, there were nearly 202,000 sold. They have also sold over 26,000 season tickets. This is an increase of over 8,000 from last year.
Tiger Stadium has a capacity of 52,400. Over 81 games the potential attendance could be 4,244,400. From that potential capacity - 2,106,000 are already sold to season ticket holders. This means they sold nearly 10% of the remaining inventory on the opening ticket sales weekend. Not bad.
From our own inventory of Tigers tickets, we have sold over 45% of the. We are also at 70.5% of the breakeven point. We also have several big ticket and Saturday games left. This could be the earliest we ever break even on a team.
The Tigers have put a good product on the field. The team consists mainly of young home-grown talent. It seems like the fans see this and support it.
For those considering investing in another team, we encourage you to consider the Tigers. It could be part of an inventory that will be in demand for some time.

Good time for Yankees tickets holders
This year really begins a huge upswing for Yankee season ticket holders. The stars are aligned on several fronts:
• The Yankees are good
• The Red Sox are better
• The Rays do not suck
• The All-Star Game
• This is the last year in Yankee stadium
The Yankees are good – One can ask the question – When was the last time they sere not good? Valid question. Regardless, when a team comes to play every year, it is good for ticket brokers.
The Red Sox are better – Some die-hard Yankee fan is going to send me a 5 page essay on why the Yankees are better than the Red Sox, but until the Yankees beat the Red Sox in the ALCS and win the World Series, I stand by my statement. Red Sox /Yankees is baseballs biggest rivalry. There is a strong argument it is the best rivalry in all of sports. Regardless of where is stands in the pecking order - the better the teams, the more intense the rivalry. All of this translates into higher priced ticket sales.
The Rays (formerly Devil Rays) do not suck – For years the Rays were a poor draw. We were lucky to break even on these. The Yankees fan is one of the more knowledgeable fans out there. Many know the Rays have some of the best young talent in baseball. They also know there team has been beat by other teams with low payroll and young players. The Rays are not quite the pushover anymore.
The All-Star game- This is held in Yankee stadium. Season ticket holders get first dibs on seats. A nice premium package to go with everything else this year.
This is the last year in Yankee stadium – above all else, this will drive ticket process sky high. The farewell to Yankee Stadium movement is in full swing. Prices for the last weekend and the final Old-timers game are nearing Opening Day prices.
