?? 3/21 #DailyDigest– Sports Business Insights That Matter ?? Your daily courtside seat to #SportsBiz. ?? Celtics Sell for $6.1B – The Rise of Values-Driven Ownership Yes, the number is wild—but the real story is who bought the team. Bill Chisholm isn’t just investing capital—he’s investing emotion. When owners lead with pride and purpose, they build more than teams—they build loyalty. Spreadsheet ROI can’t match that. ??? Fanatics’ $40M MLB Tokyo Haul – Merch as Brand Theater This wasn’t just retail. It was storytelling at scale. From exclusive drops to fan frenzy, Fanatics turned the Tokyo Series into a cultural moment. The real value? FOMO, fandom, and a new blueprint for turning live sports into lifestyle platforms. ?? TKO Boxing – Disruption with a Championship Belt TKO isn’t tweaking boxing—it’s reimagining it. With guaranteed contracts and its own titles, it’s betting big on control and clarity. But legacy promoters and purists may punch back. Sound familiar? Think LIV Golf vs. PGA—round two. ?? TicketManager's Take: Want to win in today’s experience economy? Lead like Chisholm, launch like Fanatics, and own your ecosystem like TKO. From invites to access to follow-up, TicketManager helps brands turn events into unforgettable, loyalty-building moments. #SportsBusiness #FanEngagement #Sponsorship #LiveEvents #ClientExperience #Leadership #DailyDigest #Ticketing

?? Not to interrupt the best 4 days in sports… but we’re dropping this completely unauthorized celebratory LinkedIn post because we can’t help ourselves. ?? ??Our Chief Marketing Officer, Paul Kim, has been named a shortlisted nominee for the LA Executive Leadership Awards by LA Times Studios Business.?? Here’s the thing about Paul: He’s the kind of leader who wants his whole team to win—who taught us that the best leaders don’t need the spotlight, they just make sure there’s room in it for everyone else. So today, we’re flipping that back on him. Because Paul’s built more than marketing campaigns—he’s built a team that roots for each other, trusts each other, and works like crazy because we care. ??? “Paul lets me take chances—not follow rulebooks. He pushes us to stay goal-oriented and think beyond ourselves.” ??? “My boss is a marketing king, always ahead of the game. Aim high and don’t miss.” ??? “Paul eats, sleeps, and breathes TicketManager—and somehow still finds time to make us better people along the way.” Want to cheer him on with us IRL? Join us at the LA Executive Leadership Awards: ?? Fairmont Miramar, Santa Monica ?? May 12, 2025 Congrats, PK. We’ll keep trying to play it cool.

??♂? If it’s March Madness, the office moves with it. ?? Last night, our teams in LA, NYC, and Arizona stepped out to celebrate one of the best traditions in sports—and in TicketManager culture. We swapped keyboards for brackets, group chats for group cheers, and yes… kept the long-standing tradition of Irish car bombs alive and well. We work in live events. But we also live them—with the same energy, passion, and connection we bring to our clients every day. You don’t need to love March Madness to work here. But if you want to be part of a team that shows up for each other—on and off the clock—this is the place. And it wasn’t just a happy hour. It was a reminder: This is how you create memorable experiences. The kind your prospects remember. The kind your team wants to show up for—even after a full day of work. ? It’s not about what’s impressive. It’s about what’s real. ? Take a page out of your own playbook. ? Lean on your people, your energy, your weird traditions. Because when people want to spend time with you outside the office? You’ve already won—whether it’s closing a deal or hiring your next star. We live events. And last night, we lived them well. Want in? We’re hiring. ??Apply here: https://lnkd.in/e-YQdrDc #MarchMadness #TeamTicketManager #WeAreHiring #ClientExperience #WorkCulture #CorporateHospitality #LiveEvents #SalesLeadership #Culture #ClientEntertainment #Tickets #NCAA #CollegeBasketball #Hiring

?? Where Are Decision Makers Hosting Clients During March Madness??? #MarchMadness is one of the biggest corporate hospitality moments of the year. Businesses use premium tickets and suites to entertain top clients, build relationships, and create unforgettable experiences. So, where are companies actually hosting clients this year? ?? Here are the Top 10 most in-demand Round of 64 sessions and matchups for corporate hospitality, based on ticket management activity: 1?? NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament: Round 1 - Session 3 2?? Memphis vs. Colorado St. & Maryland vs. Grand Canyon - Session 1 3?? Arizona vs. Akron & Oregon vs. Liberty - Session 2 4?? Mississippi St. vs. Baylor & Duke vs. TBD - Session 1 5??

Iowa St. vs. Lipscomb & Mississippi vs. North Carolina - Session 1 9?? Kentucky vs. Troy & Illinois vs. Xavier - Session 2 ?? Louisville vs. Creighton & Auburn vs. Alabama St. - Session 1 ?? Key Takeaways for the Industry ? Businesses are prioritizing key matchups for client entertainment, reinforcing that live sports remain a premier networking tool. ? Regional sessions remain in high demand, allowing companies to host guests across multiple games in a single setting. ? The Final Four continues to be the top-tier business destination, where decision-makers gather for high-impact relationship-building. Why This Matters: For too long, ticketing in the business world has lacked real transparency. Companies invest heavily in premium tickets, but often lack visibility into usage, impact, and ROI. March Madness is where business gets done. Where is your company hosting clients this year? #CorporateEntertainment #TicketTransparency #Hospitality #SuiteNights #TicketManager #SportsBiz #NCAATournament #Tickets #Sportstech #Cliententertainment #SportsBusiness #Access #NCAA #Roundof64

?? If You Could Have Dinner With Any College Basketball Coach—Past, Present, or Future—Who Would It Be? Drop a comment ?? ?? For Brian Binette, the answer is personal: Frank McGuire. McGuire, a New York City native, led our partners: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill— to a legendary moment in college basketball history. Facing Wilt Chamberlain and Kansas, McGuire knew they couldn’t win by size alone—so he did something bold. ?? He put the smallest player in the jump circle. It wasn’t about size; it was about strategy. Giving someone a shot, trusting the system, and making the right move, even if it’s unexpected. Event organizers, Operations Directors, Media Coordinators— we get it because we have been in your shoes. The biggest events in sports don’t run on size alone. They run on the right people, the right plan, and the right system. Accreditation, access, logistics—giving the right people the opportunity to succeed is what we do every day. And speaking of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—our partners play today, and we’re rooting for them all the way! ??

?? March Madness Wouldn’t Happen Without This… ?? It’s not the players. Not the coaches. Not even the fans. Accreditation is the backbone of March Madness. Without it, nothing moves. No media. No staff. No behind-the-scenes magic that makes the tournament run. In today’s #GameChangers episode, Brian Binette pulls back the curtain on how TicketManager keeps #MarchMadness running smoothly—through accreditation, badging, and back-of-house operations that nobody sees, but everyone depends on. ? The right people, in the right places, at the right time. ? Seamless access, no headaches, no holdups. ? Back-of-house efficiency that keeps the biggest tournament in college basketball moving. The best events in the world don’t just happen. They’re built on systems that work, tech that doesn’t get in the way, and people who know how to make it all happen. ??
