The Best Sports Tickets and How to Get Them

You can make a lot of money selling sports tickets online. If you can get your hands on some of the major sporting events, you will be making some BIG money. So what are some ways to score some great tickets?
1. Season Tickets. What's my recommendation for season tickets? For MLS, Cubs and Red Sox tickets will make you the most money, especially rivalry games. For NFL, if you can get your hands on Packers season tickets, you will also do extremely well. Outside of those teams, and maybe a handful of others, I would stick to your local teams. You can still make money with them, and also go to the games yourself if you either can't sell them or would rather go to the game. You may also want to start researching how your local University football or basketball tickets sell online too. If you live by a major football school, you can certainly make some good money there. Speaking of college football...
2. College Bowl Games Tickets. These game tickets can sell for huge money, especially if the teams are rivals. The funny thing about these tickets is that they actually go on sale way before the teams are chosen, usually in the late summer or early fall. In other words, you can purchase these tickets when nobody is thinking about them, and once its late December, suddenly the demand is going be huge and you're going to have great seats for these events! Try and go for the bigger bowls like the Capital One bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, etc. for the best return on investment.
The best thing about bowl tickets is that once you have them, you are asked if you want to renew them every year after that, and sometimes even upgrade your seats! Talk about an easy and steady source of income every year. And if the BCS Championship is announced at the same venue where you had tickets for the prior bowl game, you will get offered tickets for the BCS Championship game as well! And with tickets to the BCS Championship, you can easily double your investment on tickets, even if you are in the nosebleeds.
3. NCAA Final Four Tickets. The way to get these tickets at face value is actually through a lottery system the NCAA has on their website every year from March through May. The application costs $170, but if you don't win, they refund your money. You can also apply up to 10 times to improve your chances, but each time costs an extra $170. If you can sit on that money, it's definitely a good idea to go for these tickets, because if you get them, you can make some GREAT money.
4. Super Bowl Tickets. The mother of all sporting events! If you can get good tickets to the Super Bowl and the two competing teams are major teams and/or rivals, you could quite possibly pay your rent or mortgage for six months! It works the same every year to get Super Bowl tickets: a lottery. Send in a paper with your name, address, phone number, and email to the Super Bowl Random Drawing location between Feb. 1st and June 1st. The location is at Strongsville, OH (the address is on the official site).
Each year 10% of entries win, so be sure to send an entry for yourself, each family member, and all your friends. You'll find that every year someone you sent the paper for wins, and a lot of these people don't want those tickets, so they're yours!
The Ebook I personally wrote after years of experience has more information like this, but in much greater detail. For more information, you can purchase the Ticket Broker Ebook!
