CIST Has Your Ticket

CitySide Tickets, a leader in nationwide ticket sales for sporting events, concerts, and theater, provides consumers with easy and affordable access to the hottest events in America. They offer a diverse range of tickets through their website at www.CitySideTickest.com, where visitors can also sell their own tickets. Based in Boston, the company is now spreading its influence in the industry through the acquisition of smaller ticket firms across the country.

Below is a small sample of the type of events offered.

• Concert Events – Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Elton John & Billy Joel, Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, AC/DC, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked
• Sporting Events – Major League Baseball, NBA Basketball, NFL Football, NHL Hockey, Monster Jam, National Finals Rodeo, Ultimate Fighting Championship, U.S. Open Tennis Championship, WWE-World Wrestling Entertainment
• NASCAR Racing – Daytona 500, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Watkins Glen International, Phoenix International Raceway, and many more.

To many, CitySide represents the latest and greatest example of the electronic democratization of secondary ticket sales, a long needed move away from professional scalpers who would truck in vagrants to stand in line and buy up all the tickets, which they might then end up selling for ten times face value to average consumers. Today, the box office is open 24/7 across the country. The best primary tickets are still often reserved for season ticket holders and corporations, but primary holders are often free to sell them online, in highly visible competition with everyone else. Furthermore, secondary tickets are available to anyone, with the ticketing company getting a small fee versus an outrageous markup.

The system doesn’t prevent someone from buying up tickets and re-selling them later. But, because the box office is open to anyone at any time, with real competition and transparency, it makes the whole process a lot less risky. It also makes season ticket holding more affordable, since it’s now easier for such holders to sell off the tickets they don’t use. It brings the average consumer back into the equation, spreading the value more evenly. For CitySide Tickets, it represents a huge and growing marketplace.

They have tickets to events that are sold out to other ticket sellers.

The ask is getting hit pretty hard.

The 34's are getting ready to make way for 35.

Since March 1st, this is up about 18%.

In fact, one of the cornerstones of Citywide's success has been its prime location. According to DeAmicis, "Currently, about 50-60 percent of CitySide's business comes through walk-up traffic at the store." However, with the company's new national marketing campaign and current focus on acquiring smaller companies, CitySide hopes to expand its reach into the country's most popular ticketing markets.

CitySide has recently made news through its acquisition of smaller ticketing brokers, most notably StadiumSeats.com, which CitySide hopes to groom into a competitor to current industry giant StubHub.

According to Michael McCarthy, corporate communications director for CitySide Tickets, the company's public status makes it "lean and mean" and allows the company to "roll with the economy better than some of the competition."

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) attracts a youthful demographic, with a good portion between the ages of 18-24. While the techniques of MMA are not particularly innovative, it’s the distinct combination of martial arts forms that has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts. According to Scarborough Sports Marketing, a sports fan research firm, MMA fans are also 15 percent more likely than the average American adult to have a household income of $75k+ and 10 percent more likely to own a second home. Building itself as a mainstream competitive sport, MMA is now a multimillion-dollar industry. It can be found on pay-per-view television, as well as in thousands of training halls across the United States.

Company CEO Michael DeAmicis stated, “Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has become one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. With our focus of becoming a major player in the event ticket market, it only made sense to include MMA in our business strategy. With the formation of CitySide Entertainment, we will attempt to leverage the rapid growth within the MMA industry to further expand our influence in the larger entertainment industry.”
