Sub Hub is one of the largest online tickets sellers in the world.  What many people fail to realize is Stub Hub doesn’t actually have an inventory of tickets.  Instead they sell other brokers tickets.  The majority of our tickets are listed on Stub Hub’s website.  So when you purchase tickets on Stub Hub you are actually purchasing our tickets.  

To show you the value of buying tickets directly from us I am going to do a side by side comparison of the purchasing the same set of tickets from Stub Hub and from Circle City Tickets. 

The Game is Colts vs. Bears

Seats: Sec: 208 Row 2

Stub Hub:                                                

Price:                            $248 (each)

Handling Fee:               $89.28 (18%)

Handling Fee:               $0 (if you call us) $21 (if you order on our website)

Total:                            $420 (if you call us and pick up)

$458 (if you order online and we ship them to you)

The difference is very clear.  You save 180.28-142.28 dealing directly with us.  This is enough savings that you could get two more tickets to an Indianapolis Colts Game.

The comparison is clear.  Dump Stub Hub today and use Circle City Tickets directly!

Standing in a row of empty seats, Manny Clayton gazed toward the night sky as the retractable roof to the Lucas Oil Stadium made its slow journey inward.  The game itself had not been front-page worthy, but the sheer magnitude of the pristine building had Manny’s thought momentarily captivated.  The first two games of the Indianapolis Colts preseason had been successful in increasing Manny’s appetite for the real thing and created a longing for September 7^th when Peyton Manning finally steps out on the turf.  The two 45-yardline seats Manny had called “his” for the past two games would soon be a distant memory as he had not purchased tickets for the regular season. 

Josh, growing more anxious about the post-game traffic, called after a dazed Manny from the aisle.  Manny began shuffling his way through the scattered popcorn and empty cups toward the exit, relieved to have dodged a near-tearful moment.  By the time they reached the bottom of the front steps the roof had completely closed, sealing off any hopes Manny had of returning for the 2008 sold out season.

Will Manny and Josh finally get the season tickets of their dreams?  Could Circle City Tickets possibly supply last minute tickets to a sold out season?  Find out more next time.

Did I mention I got to interview Michael Phelps on TRL?
Here's a little momento of that glorious moment:

LeRoi Moore –

It is a sad, sad day in the Music Industry.  LeRoi Moore the Saxophone player for the Dave Matthews Band died at age 46.  LeRoi was one of the founders of the Dave Matthews Band.  His unique style of staccato fused jazz and funk overtones was a great addition the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band.  LeRoi has not been with the Band for their summer tour, his replacement for the summer was Jeff Coffin who used to play for Bella Fleck and the Flecktones.  Jeff is an amazing saxophonist however he doesn’t have the same smooth sound that LeRoi had.

I was glancing at the USA Today top 25 poll today and I saw that Notre Dame got 5 votes to be in the top 25.  Norte Dame was 3-9 last year and “had the nation's worst scoring offense, allowed an NCAA-worst 58 sacks and were near the bottom in several other national offensive and defensive categories” (espn.com).  Now I understand that teams do improve in the off season, and I understand that ND has one of the top recruiting classes each year.  But how can someone say that they are one of the top 25 teams in the nation before they set foot on the football field? 

I am from Indiana, I like Notre Dame, and I hope that they are in the top 25 at the end of the season.  I just think that they need to prove themselves.  I think the only reason why they received pre-season top 25 votes was because they are Notre Dame.

 The atmosphere at Circle City Tickets has been nothing short of non-stop Olympic coverage... and selling Indianapolis Colts tickets, of course.  But now that Michael Phelps has finally achieved the seemingly impossible, we can all take a nice long breath.  Because let's face it, the few events that are left are not going to keep you up on the edge of your seats until one in the morning.  Well, we still have beach volleyball to look forward to, but no Michael Phelps! =( 
































And what will we miss about this 6'4" Aquatic male?  We will miss the 24/7 Phelps Fanatic coverage by every reporter on every local channel and multiple cable networks that ranged in topics from every detail in his daily "diet" to how many friend requests he receives on facebook.  And let's not forget the 3 minute blurbs covering his life achievements each time before he takes the platform. 

*Sigh*

It was an exciting year for the Summer Olympics and well worth the wait!  But, now that the Olympics are almost through, it's time for Circle City Tickets to switch gears to the new NFL football season and get pumped for our first game in the new Lucas Oil Stadium coming up this Sunday!

39 acres, Lucas Oil Stadium covers 39 acres of land.  When they open the roof the opening covers 4 acres.  That is a massive building.  To put that in perspective, a city block is between 2-5 acres, the football field including both end zones is 1.32 acres.  There are 43,560 square feet in an acre, so Lucas Oil Stadium covers 1,698,840 square feet.  That is an astounding amount of space.  Now if you assume that the average person needs a space that is 24 inches x 14 inches (about the size of a small file cabinet) to stand comfortably, which is 2.33 square feet of room to stand. Now if you take the number of square feet at Lucas Oil Stadium (1,698,840) and divide it by 2.33 square feet, you get 729,115.87 square feet. Therefore we could reasonably assume that it is possible to fit between 729,000 730,000 standing people within the space that Lucas Oil Stadium occupies.  Of course that number depends on the size and tolerance for close proximity to each other the people have.  Now according to consensus data there are 876,804 people living in Marion County.  This means that approximately 83% of the population of Marion County can fit in the area of land that Lucas Oil Stadium sits on.   Those are some amazing stats. 

Lucas Oil Stadium is an amazing building, the size and magnitude of the stadium is unlike anything Indianapolis has ever seen.  My only hope is that on game day it can house the same atmosphere that the RCA dome did.

Michael Phelps has done what no person has ever done in Olympic competition He won eight, count them! EIGHT GOLD MEDALS! What an accomplishment for the Americans! It is a day that we will not soon forget. A day when all of America on a late summer night in August, all stopped and watched as a young man from our country did what no one has done before! He did it with class. He did it with dignity and respect of the Olympic tradition. But he did it above all things, as a true American and a shinning example of what makes this the greatest country in the world! Way to go Michael and THANK YOU!

104! The USA Women’s Beach Volleyball team has won 104 straight games in a row.  104 straight games! This is a feat that is unheard of in team sports.  It is a shame that they are not getting the attention that some of the other great teams have gotten.  The names of Misty may-Treanor and Kerri Walsh should be household names by now. However, since the Olympics only happen once every four years and Beach Volleyball isn’t a “high profile sport” this feat has been downplayed.  Let’s compare the USA Beach Team Volleyball’s dominance over their sport to other great teams of our generation. First, the New England Patriots who after winning 18 straight games and were crowned football gods and had the entire world bowing to there greatness. This is just after 18 games. The tadem of Treanor-Walsh has won 104.  Next let’s look at basketball and the 1995-1997 Chicago Bulls who went an impressive 141-23, winning two titles in that period and they have been proclaimed as the best basketball team ever. Even though this is closer and it is over a shorter time period the beach volleyball team havs won 104 in a row. The '08  Patriots and the Bulls of the mid '90's are the considered to be two of the greatest teams of all time.  However, I think that the USA women’s beach volleyball team of the '00's should top that list.  Not only have they won 104 straight games, they are competing against the worlds greatest athletes and dominating.  Their streak would have been 195 straight matches if they had lost in June.  Since the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece they are 195-1.  With such an impressive streak the USA Women’s Beach Volleyball team is one of the greatest teams ever!

The Indianapolis Tennis Championships and the ATP tour is back in town again this summer in Indy.
   Admittedly the field is weaker this year than in previous years.  Only one player currently ranked in the ATP tour world rankings top-30 is in the field at this tournament--James Blake (# 8).  There is still some compelling and exciting tennis though!  I have been out twice to watch evening sessions.  In fact the pictures included in this blog were taken from the spectacular front row seats that Circle City Tickets sells for this event.  The tournament provides a great chance to see world-class tennis up close.  For many sessions you can sit a few rows up from the court for $30!  Just last night I watched the always exciting James Blake and the up and coming American Sam Querry in two fun matches. 

If you have a free afternoon or evening get out and watch some professional tennis at the Indianapolis Tennis Championships.  Despite the relative lack of big-name stars, the tennis is still great!  If you want some really great seats, give your local ticket broker Circle City Tickets a call for some great seats!

As most of you know this is the final season the New York Yankees will be in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. So the demand for tickets to see a game in the legandary stadium has been quite high. I recenty sold a regular customer tickets to see the Yankees and he caught a foul ball from Derek Jeter. So in other words its a great time to "catch" a piece of history and take in a MLB game at Yankee Stadium. Here at Circle City Tickets we can take care of all of your entertainment needs, be them a MLB game a summer concert or an upcoming NFL game.
