Tickets of America Media

Miami, FL, January 26, 2010 — With weekly appearances on top-rated sports radio shows such as “The Ticket” on 790 AM in South Florida, Fox Sports Radio, ESPN Radio and Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Michael J. Lipman has established himself as an expert in the ticket industry. With the Super Bowl only 12 days away, the president and CEO of Miami-based ticket company, Tickets of America, offers his insights on this year’s Super Bowl ticket market.

Lipman expects the ticket prices to range from $1800 per person for upper-level seating, to $5000 per person for 50-yard line clubs and luxury suites, as the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts go head-to-head. Lipman is confident that fans will be treated to an exciting match-up between two teams who are loaded with star power on both defensive and offensive sides.

“You have the two best teams in the league, with the two best quarterbacks in the league, who are potential Hall of Famers, facing off. Both teams have dynamic rosters that are exciting to watch. It’s an ideal scenario for fans!” he says.
Both teams come into the Super Bowl with nearly perfect seasons (Colts 14-2; Saints 13-3). Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Saints quarterback Drew Brees ranked one-two, respectively, in this year’s MVP race. Many argue that a winning performance by Manning will stamp him as the greatest quarterback in the league’s history. The fan-bases for both quarterbacks alone will bring hordes of fans to Miami on Feb. 7.

Storylines between these two teams abound off the field as well and will provide a rooting interest for even the most casual football fan. This year marks the Saints’ first Super Bowl appearance and given the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina that the city continues to recover from, they are sure to be the sentimental favorites of many across the nation. The Colts also have a team member dealing with loss from a natural disaster. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon’s family remains missing in Haiti after the devastating earthquake that occurred there just over a week ago.
“The general consensus between experts all season has been that these two teams would make it to the Super Bowl. This sell-out event could potentially go down as the greatest Super Bowl in history,” Lipman predicts. “It should not be missed.”

January 22, 2010 — With weekly shows on top rated sports radio shows such as “The Ticket” on 790 AM in South Florida, Fox Sports Radio, ESPN Radio and Sirius XM Radio, Michael J. Lipman has established himself as an expert in the ticket industry. As President and CEO of Miami-based ticket company Tickets of America, Lipman projects a great opportunity for ticket sales for Super Bowl XLIV compared to previous years. The New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts teams all have unique factors that make them attractive in several areas. With the game only weeks away, Lipman offers his insights on this year’s Super Bowl ticket market.

This year’s Super Bowl ticket.

Lipman sees the Jets’ deep-rooted fan-base and New York corporate market as a potential boon to ticket sales. “If the Jets make it to the Super Bowl, tickets are likely to bring upwards of $4,000 a piece since the Jets haven’t played in a Super Bowl since Namath’s Super Bowl appearance in 1969, and every New Yorker has South Florida ties”.

With Peyton Manning’s prolific fan-base, the Colts’ appearance in the Super Bowl will undoubtedly attract people from around the country to travel to Miami. And with a scenario pitting them against the Brett Favre and the Vikings, the results in ticket sales may be unprecedented based upon each team’s quarterbacks alone. “A match-up between Hall of Famers Favre and Manning will bring tremendous ratings and global ticket demands that could cause ticket prices to exceed $2500,” Lipman believes.

The Saints have arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Drew Brees. After starting the season winning 13 straight games, they were early favorites to make it to the Super Bowl. Their presence is sure to make headlines and their dynamic roster featuring not only Brees, but Reggie Bush and University of Miami alum, Jeremy Shockey, will attract fans from several regions. A match-up between star quarterback Brees and the Jets’ rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchez, would create a great storyline and a have an impact on sales. Lipman concludes, “The Saints are the nation’s sentimental favorites and their wide-open offensive power and playmakers will make the Super Bowl a must-see!”

Lipman sees ticket sales in the range of $2000 - $5000, based upon which teams go head-to-head. But like most ticket brokers are likely doing, he’s hoping that the Jets make it all the way, where he foresees tickets being driven as high as $12,000 per person for 50-yard line clubs and luxury suites.
