In 2001 I started an event ticket brokerage company from my dorm room while attending college. The roots of my business started the summer prior when I was home from college. I bought a large group of concert tickets to a favorite artist of mine, and when a few of my friends cancelled and left me with extra tickets, I turned to eBay to sell the tickets just hoping to make my money back. The show sold out and I ended up selling the tickets for about 200% of what I paid. While not exactly inventing the wheel or discovering fire, I stumbled upon something that proved to be quite lucrative for me over the next several years.Over the next five years, I built a network of domestic and international brokers, and through multiple sales channels and industry connections, grew my ticket business to substantial profitability.

While starting and running a successful ticket brokerage company was a great experience as a college student (and part-time the year after graduation), I had other opportunities that I wanted to explore and I decided to follow those paths, thus moving on from my ticket broker days. I did pass the business on to a family member and remain involved as an advisor.

Why Did I Start ExTicketBroker.com?

1. This is an opportunity for me to archive all of my knowledge and chronicle my many unique experiences as a ticket broker.
2. Now that I’m no longer a ticket broker, I have no reason to keep all of my knowledge a secret and I’m happy to help others that may want to learn how to become a ticket broker.
3. If a few people visit my site, learn something useful, then visit a couple of my site’s sponsors and make me a few bucks - great.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you find something useful or entertaining.
