October is one of the most profitable months for ticket brokers. To fully take advantage of the October busy season, ticket brokers need to prepare a few months ion advance.
Major league baseball playoff tickets are still one of the most accessible tickets to procure and the demand is still very high. Greg Cox, the COO of MyTicketBiz.com says “a shrewd ticket broker can enter baseball marketplace as late as August and still capitalize on the October boom. The hardcore fan does not start thinking out the playoffs until September. Simply by thinking a month or two ahead enables us to maximize profits with minimal risks”. Mr. Cox also states “October is one of several busy seasons. We teach people how to prepare for these seasons. The goal of being a successful ticket broker is to make decent profits in off-peak and prepare your self to capitalize on the peak. This makes maximum use of our time and capital.”

Can’t wait for October 13th
Some might say this is one way to keep the enemy at bay. Others could say you this just shows how far behind you are.
Anyone who wants to buy a ticket for the Cardinals - Cowboys game on October 12th in Phoenix must also buy a ticket to the August 7th preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints. In the past whenever the Cowboys are in Phoenix, mobs of Dallas fans come to Phoenix essentially taking away the home field advantage. We suspect the thinking behind this is one of two things:
1) The Arizona brain trust is thinking we want to keep those dirty Dallas–folk in Dallas for the weekend.
2) The Arizona brain trust realizes the Dallas-folk do not care about the ticket prices and will buy the extra ticket just a easily as the first. This way they can make money on something they could not even give away before.
We hope it is #2. We can respect that a lot more.
Keep in mind, with the new Cowboy Stadium opening up, Mr. Jones has taken the PSL cost to a new level, charging up to $150,000 per seat. An that is just for the license, not the ticket. If his fan base is willing to pay that much for a license, the preseason ticket in Arizona might not seem like that big if a deal.
If anything else, it raises the awareness, and hence the demand, for a ticket to the October 12th game. Anyone who has a ticket ready to sell to that game can now make just a little bit more.

Sticky Sweet and Green
In August Madonna will begin her Sticky and Sweet Tour. Early estimates are that the US portion could break $125. Total tour estimates are expected to be twice that. This should easily put her in the top 5 all-time US tour grosses.
1. The Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang Tour" $162 million 2005
2. U2 "Vertigo Tour" $138.9 million 2005
3. The Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang Tour" $138.5 million 2006
4. The Rolling Stones "Voodoo Loung Tour" $121.2 million 1994
5. Bruce Springsteen "The Rising Tour" $115.9 million 2003
6. U2 "Elevation Tour" $109.7 million 2001
7. Pink Floyd "Division Bell tour" $103.5 million 1994
8. Paul McCartney $103.3 million 2002
9. The Rolling Stones "Steel Wheels Tour" $98 million 1989
10. Barbara Streisand $92.5 million 2006
11. Tim McGraw / Faith Hill $88.8 million 2006
12. The Rolling Stones "Bridges To Babylon Tour" $89.3 million 1997
13. Madonna "Confessions Tour" $88,842,663
14. The Rolling Stones "Licks Tour" $87.9 million 2002
Concert tour grosses are a funny thing to calculate. Tours for the top acts spread to different countries and exactly how does ones agree on a standard conversion to US dollars for sales in Yen. Also, exactly how many Farewell tours did Cher have or was it just one long one? We will never really know and promoters will always try to pump up their numbers. Regardless, when a tour starts talking about $125M domestic and the tour is using the stadiums that pack in 40,000+ instead of the NBA style 18,000+, it is time to take notice.
Just in case anyone was wondering, The Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds tour took in about $54M.

Hannah Montana When not If
Guess what is more profitable – an album or a tour? While both do well, the answer is tour hands down.
So if you had a highly successful tour in 2007, a movie coming out in 2008, a new album in 2008, what do you do in 2009? Another tour.
Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana will bless us again with another tour in 2009. Anyone who was able to get tickets to any show in 2008 made out quite well. No reason to expect it would be any different in 2009. Lets just hope she stays away from Annie Leibovitz in the mean time.
If you have not become a member of the miley fan club, we encourage you to do so now. This was the only practical way to get tickets for the last tour.
