Games <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBy Jeff Howard <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHave you ever dreamed about seeing a big sports event like the <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSuper Bowl, NCAA Final Four, or Daytona 500 in person? If so, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nwhat kept you from realizing your dream? <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nBefore you answer that one, let me demonstrate how the typical <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nfan tries to buy tickets. I&#8217;ll use the Indianapolis 500 as an <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nexample. As I write this the &#8220;Greatest Spectacle In Racing&#8221; is <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\na few weeks away. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSince many fans don&#8217;t start thinking about tickets until weeks, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nor months, before the event, it&#8217;s very possible some are <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\njust now deciding they want to see this race. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nEven at this late date, there are still a few tickets available <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ndirectly from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but rest assured <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthe choice seats are long gone. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s good news, however. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nA quick Internet search shows there are are plenty of good seats <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\navailable. At one popular ticket broker site, they range in price <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nfrom $65 to $645 each depending on track location. According to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthe official Indianapolis 500 website, these same tickets have a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nface value of $40 to $90 each. So, if you buy your tickets from <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\na broker, you&#8217;ll end up paying 2, 3, or 4 times face value. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nNot so good news. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nBefore I get back to my original question, let me say this. If <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re independently wealthy, go ahead and buy your tickets from <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\na broker since money isn&#8217;t an issue. However, if you&#8217;re like the <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nrest of us, it was probably the high cost of tickets that kept <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nyou from seeing a game or event in person. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSo how do you avoid overpaying for tickets? Well it&#8217;s really <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nquite simple. Plan in advance. See, I said it was simple. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSince every major sports event occurs at approximately the same <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntime each year, there&#8217;s no reason why you shouldn&#8217;t be planning <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nfor next year right now. Let&#8217;s get back to our typical race fan. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOnce he discovers how much Indy 500 tickets will set him back, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nhe&#8217;ll decide that&#8217;s too much and forget about the race. A year <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nrolls by, and the approaching race starts making news. By this <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntime maybe he&#8217;s forgotten about the ticket prices, or maybe he <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthinks this year he&#8217;ll find bargain tickets somewhere. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nNope. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThis year the prices are even higher, so he gives up yet again <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nall the while thinking to himself that &#8220;one of these days&#8221; he&#8217;s <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nactually going to plunk down the money for tickets. Good luck. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSadly, while savvy fans will be experiencing the sights, sounds, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nand smells of the race in person, he&#8217;ll be watching from home on <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthe small screen. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nNow if he would have just planned in advance for his race-day <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nexperience, the outcome could be very different. Many of those <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nsame tickets selling for well above face value in the weeks <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nleading up to the race could have been had for face value a year <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nearlier. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe window of opportunity for many sports tickets opens shortly <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nafter the preceding year&#8217;s event has ended. This is even the case <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nfor some of the biggies like the Super Bowl or the NCAA Men&#8217;s <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBasketball Tournament. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe tickets are out there. You just have to know when and where <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nto look. Here are some suggestions. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n1) Check the official website of the sponsoring organization. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMany times this will have all the information you need, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nincluding ticket procedures, deadlines, and special <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nrequirements. Do this as soon as possible after the event has <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntaken place and keep checking periodically until updated <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ninformation has been posted. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n2) If you&#8217;re more impatient, call the organization directly. You <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncan usually find a phone number on the website, but if it&#8217;s not <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthere call 800 directory assistance. Ask how you can purchase <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntickets to next year&#8217;s game, or at least get your name on a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nwaiting list so you&#8217;ll be notified when tickets are available. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMake sure you know all the pertinent dates, addresses and prices <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nso you&#8217;ll be ready when they go on sale. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n3) Check the official website of the host venue. Often the arena <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nor stadium handles ticket sales, as is the case for the first\/ <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nsecond and regional rounds of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. In <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthis case, the early bird definitely gets the worm. Again, a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\npolite phone call may provide additional information or get your <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nname on the proper list. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n4) Consider joining a team&#8217;s fan club or booster club. Many <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntimes these memberships come with special advance notice of <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntickets sales or access to in-demand tickets. For example Boston <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nRed Sox fans should join the Red Sox Nation to get ticket <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\npreferences for some of the hottest seats in Fenway Park. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMembership will only set you back $9.95, a small price if you <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nscore some premium tickets. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n5) Finally, search the Internet for information about the <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nspecific event or venue. You may find a little-known piece of <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ninformation that allows you to apply for highly-coveted tickets. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBe creative and try different word combinations as your search <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nterms. Read everything you can find about the upcoming game or <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nprevious games. It&#8217;s all about your willingness to put in a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nlittle &#8220;leg work&#8221; that may pay off in face-value Super Bowl or <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nFinal Four tickets. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIn fact I just applied for 2006 Final Four tickets last week, but <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nI&#8217;m sure many hoops fans didn&#8217;t even know that was possible. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSo, regardless of the event or game, if you want to see it in <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nperson without taking out a second mortgage for tickets, try a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nlittle advance planning. With persistence and patience, you may <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\njust be watching it next year from the front row. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nCopyright 2005 All Rights Reserved <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n********************************************* <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nJeff Howard publishes SportsTicketSecrets Tip Sheet, a monthly <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nezine providing tips, information, and advice for sports fans <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nwho are tired of watching the &#8220;BIG&#8221; games on TV.
