Equal pay in tennis is well deserved!

Maria Sharapova

It’s that time again. We’re at Roland Garros, our second tennis major of the year. The French Open is heating up here at Tickets of America, and a few things come to mind -getting in touch with our existing French Open clients and my not so good speech class experience. With the announcement a few weeks back from French Open officials, there will be equal pay for both men and women champions starting this year. Times have definitely changed.

A few years back while at speech class at the University of Maryland, I decided to tackle the equal-pay issue in tennis tournaments. At that time, there was an uproar due to the difference in pay. The men’s champion was paid roughly 30% more than the women’s champion.

Sold Out? Don’t freak out.

You’ve waited all year to enjoy your favorite performer LIVE. You finally make the call to the ticket company and request two floor level seats for you and your spouse. It will be a night to remember, or so you thought. The sales rep on the other line breaks the bad news: the three words ticket buyers never want to hear. “We’re sold out.” Now, you’ll never get to see Bill Joel in person. This is the rock icon’s final hour. Before you start to cry, there’s hope. 

The average ticket buyer doesn’t have connections to ticket brokers and season ticket holders of major events. Fortunately for you, Tickets of America does and offers you tickets, that had been sold, to all of your favorite sporting, concert and theater events. Whether it’s NBA tickets, NFL tickets, broadway shows or Billy Joel tickets, our clients can expect us to deliver. You don’t have to miss out on your experience, and Tickets of America will make sure you don’t. 

Also on the Tickets of America homepage, check out other hot concert events featuring performers like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Mana, Don Omar in Miami, and High School Musical.

Miami Heat tickets and more

 

If you’re browsing the largest selection of Miami Heat tickets on the Web, check out Tickets of America, the largest ticket broker in Miami, Florida.

Since it’s a Miami-based company, Tickets of America offers the largest inventory of events in South Florida including Heat tickets. It also buys and sells NBA tickets for the other 29 NBA teams. Tickets of America deals directly with many Miami Heat season ticket holders unable to attend games for any reason, and also with the box office at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.

For events in South Florida and beyond, Tickets of America is a growing ticket company that shouldn’t be overlooked for the familiar players in the secondary ticket market. The advantage of Tickets of America is that it is located in South Florida, the latest hot spot for major sporting events like the Super Bowl, Sony Ericcson Tennis Open (formerly the Nasdaq 100 open) the NBA Finals and college bowl games. I recommend Tickets of America for all sporting, concert and theater events anywhere and everywhere.
