Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, and Hello Playoffs!

Hello readers! Again, I must apoligize for being an absent blogger. This is our busy season and this ticket broker has been working his tail off. I just finished working for four straight days on and off the streets of Atlanta at the Peach Bowl, Widespread Panic, Falcons vs. Panthers, and the Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl turned into an abysmal ticket, the worst of all four BCS games. The Rose Bowl is gigantic still with brokers asking $1000 each on Get-In's with the tickets carrying a face value of $175 each.

Now that the holiday season is over and there are just two bowl games left we are now in the very serious stages of getting our ducks in a row for the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl. Our position at this point in the game is that we do not want to take too much risk one way or the other because we still see a lot of volatility in the price of the Super Bowl ticket. We do not see this one as being a solid $1750 get-in like San Diego three years ago, but as one that could go they way of one of the worst Super Bowl tickets ever or maybe one of the best ever. We feel very positive about the Colts making it to the big game, but the NFC is where all the uncertainty is and the way we look at it there are three teams out of six in the NFC that could make this thing blow up; Bears, Skins, and Giants. The Bears have a bye this weekend but the Skins and the Giants both play so it should be an exciting weekend. I will give you an update of what the ticket reserve and tradesports markets say about the future below.
