TicketManager

When your CEO shows up at the office… what do you do? Some teams freeze. Some teams whisper. Some teams suddenly “look busy.” Ours? We lean IN. Same pace, same jokes, same energy. That’s the sign of a team that’s aligned, confident, and actually enjoys working together. And yes, Tony Knopp, we’re always hyped when you’re in NYC… even if we play it cool (you taught us well). And yes, we’re growing ⬇️ Open Roles: • Account Manager — Mesa, AZ • Implementations Specialist (Enterprise Software) — Mesa, AZ • Chief Financial Officer (CFO) — Calabasas, CA • Enterprise Sales Leader — Calabasas, CA • Software Support Engineer — Calabasas, CA • Talent Acquisition Lead (Enterprise Software Recruiter) — Calabasas, CA • Vice President of Marketing — Calabasas, CA Explore all roles: [LINK IN COMMNETS] #TicketManager #TeamCulture #TogetherWeWin #Hiring #Careers #SaaS #SportsBiz #NYC #Leadership #JoinOurTeam #

We always love seeing our community show up for moments that matter. Huge shoutout to our friend Nathan O., Stran Promotional Solutions, and the entire Weekend With Papi crew… and an extra smile seeing our very own Spencer Korey out there supporting an incredible cause with The David Ortiz Children's Fund. This is what makes this industry special: great people, meaningful work, and relationships that go way beyond the events themselves. Grateful to be part of a community that shows up for each other. ❤️⚾️ #SportsBiz #LiveEvents #Community #BeThere #TicketsMeanBusiness #WeekendWithPapi

At TicketManager, we take games very seriously, even the mobile ones. 😤🎮 Huge shoutout to our partners at Capital One Arena, our friends at the  Washington Capitals & Monumental Sports & Entertainment, and the team at Venture Global LNG, who helped bring Ovi’s new mobile game “Great Sk8” to life. Naturally… the second we saw it, we turned it into an office-wide competition. 🏒🔥 Screenshots were analyzed. Scores were challenged. Pride was absolutely on the line. And after a hard-fought battle across three offices and two continents… 🏆 We have a champion: Alvin Chang -- holding it down for our UK office -- takes home the Great Sk8 crown. If Ovi needs a scouting report on Alvin’s in-game skating, our team is ready. 😉 #TicketsMeanBusiness #SportsBiz #WashingtonCapitals #CapitalOneArena #VentureGlobal #CorporateCulture #LiveEvents #OfficeFun #Great8 #BeThere

Some people brag that they played Fortnite with Drake Maye… Our very own Daniel Watts actually did. 🎮😂 But Will Stewart had the real flex this week... taking #BeThere on the road with the Bay Area Host Committee and NESN on a freezing MNF night in Foxborough. ❄️🏈 Because in this industry, the magic doesn’t happen in group chats or game lobbies. It happens on-site, in the cold, with the partners who make major events come to life. Great people. Great conversations. Real connection. This is where future wins start. #BeThere #TicketsMeanBusiness #SportsBiz #LiveEvents #Hospitality #NFL #MNF #Foxborough #CorporateHospitality #ClientExperience

Roses are red, Crowns go bling, One of our partners just knighted our very own David Lederer: CRED KING. 👑 It’s a fun nickname, but it’s also earned. Because in sports, credentials aren’t just lanyards. They’re security. They’re compliance. They’re how teams control VIP access, staff movement, broadcast zones, and every premium experience that happens behind the scenes. And the people who manage that ecosystem? They matter. David Lederer is one of the leaders who makes credentialing feel simple for our partners: syncing data from multiple systems, helping them control permissions, and ensuring everyone who needs access gets it… and only who needs access gets it. That kind of expertise is invisible when it works, and unforgettable when a partner goes out of their way to recognize it with a custom kit. Shoutout to David for representing what our industry knows well: the smallest details often drive the biggest moments. And at TicketManager, credentials -- like tickets -- are where those details start. #BeThere #TicketsMeanBusiness #SportsBiz #SportsBusiness #ClientSuccess #CustomerSuccess #LiveEvents #EventOps #SportsMarketing #Hospitality #CorporateHospitality #PremiumExperiences #SportsIndustry #MLS #SoccerBiz #Sponsorship #AccessManagement #Credentialing #BehindTheScenes #TeamTM #WorkInSports #SportsCareers #Partnerships #Teamwork #Leadership #Gratitude #SportsTech #EventTech

If you’re responsible for tickets, sponsorships, hospitality, or proving ROI on live events… today’s news is your reminder that the most unpredictable part of sports is the screen and the most reliable part is still the seat. 🚨 #DailyDigest | Sports Business Media Reset | December 1, 2025 Here’s what’s shifting the ground under live access going into 2026 👇 📉 Cable falls below 50% penetration for the first time ever; the old distribution model finally loses home-field advantage. 📱 ESPN and Fox Fay go fully direct-to-consumer, signaling a new era where leagues and networks own their audiences outright. 📊 Amazon forces Nielsen into a complete measurement overhaul, bringing real, verifiable viewing data to National Football League (NFL) broadcasts for the first time. 🥊 PPV collapses into streaming, with Ultimate Fighting Championship and WWE moving their biggest events to Paramount, CBS, and Netflix. 🎮 Electronic Arts (EA) emerges as a sleeper contender in live sports broadcasting, with global gaming audiences primed for integrated live events. 💰 College sports professionalize overnight, as direct athlete pay reshapes recruiting, media value, and sponsorship economics. 🌙 Sports officially take over prime time, becoming the only programming category that consistently delivers mass, real-time audiences. Across all of it 👉 fragmented screens + volatile rights cycles + data-driven valuation = Live access becomes the most stable, measurable, and defensible asset a company controls. 🎥 Full breakdown in today’s #DailyDigest with Marlena F. ⬇️ Tickets Mean Business. #SportsBiz #SportsBusiness #Ticketing #LiveEvents #SportsMarketing #EventMarketing #Sponsorship #CorporateHospitality #PremiumHospitality #FanExperience #CustomerExperience #Leadership #BusinessLeadership #MarketingStrategy #BrandStrategy #EventStrategy #CMO #B2BMarketing #SalesLeaders #DataAnalytics #AI #SportsTech #FutureOfWork #MediaRights #Streaming #CollegeSports #NFL #UFC #WWE #EA #TicketsMeanBusiness

If you spotted a misspelled word in your inbox this morning, don’t worry... we smiled too. Because for once, ChatGPT didn’t write it… and we love that you put in the time. We do too. So if you need a breather before diving back into the post-holiday email avalanche, this week’s TicketManager Ledger is a softer landing; the good stuff, the human stuff. Crab soup with Constellation Energy. D.C. lunch with Pepco. A The Coca-Cola Company x Coca-Cola Bowl Season partnership. Thanksgiving plates from across the team. And Dalton Wilderotter marching in the Macy’s Parade for the third year in a row. A reminder that the best work in this industry isn’t loud or complicated... it’s built on relationships, presence, and showing up for people, especially this time of year. If you need two minutes of something real in your feed today, the Ledger’s a good scroll.👇 TicketManagers Mentioned: Maddie Hoburg, Kendal Petrie, Anastasia Ivanova, Spencer Korey, Vadim Bokin, Marlena F., Dalton Wilderotter, Matt Ansis, Brian Binette #TicketsMeanBusiness #SportsBiz #CustomerSuccess #LiveEvents #Hospitality
