LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/03/09 -- TicketOS, the worldwide leader in on-demand sports and event ticket management software and services, announced today the creation of its monthly Corporate Ticket Index(TM). The index will track key metrics regarding corporate ticket use.
The first index shows that utilization of corporate-owned inventory across all North American venues was 69% for October, which is down from 71% in September, but up 31% from October 2008. Club and stadium seating use averaged 73% while suite seats averaged 67% for October. The NFL leads all major leagues with the highest corporate ticket utilization.
Baseball playoffs were extremely popular this October as evidence by Yankee Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, and Citizens Bank Park showing up in the top 8 venues by volume.
"It's fantastic to see a large increase in corporate ticket utilization year over year," said John Wallace, General Manager of TicketOS. "We view this as a positive sign that corporations are entertaining more today versus a year ago and the data supports the trend that spending will continue into 2010."
According to Wallace, the following venues showed above average corporate-owned ticket volumes and utilization rates:
