So, if your clients hail from any of these great American cities, help them upgrade their weekends with game tickets and a checklist to help them create the most extravagant pre-game tailgate on the lot. Don’t think you have any clients who like football? Think again! An estimated 65% of US adults follow the NFL, which means that there is most certainly a football fan in your life.

In a survey conducted by Ticketmaster, it was reported that nearly 30% of NFL fans are willing to travel 100 miles to see their team on the road, while more than 20% said they would be willing to travel more than 500 miles to see their favorite team. Furthermore, with a reported 90% of fans believing that their energy influences the outcome of the game, we think it’s important for travel advisors to do their best to get diehard football fans into the games where their presence is needed the most! Take their experience to the next level with a VIP Experience or by supporting them on game-day by participating in their favorite fan ritual and sharing it on social media with a hashtag that uniquely represents you and your travel agency. If you have a client base that ranges in age, keep in mind that GEN Xers are most likely to attend a game with their spouse, whereas Millennials and Boomers are most likely to catch a game with their buddies.

With 256 games to choose from, including five international games; in London on 10/6, 10/13, 10/27 & 11/3, and in Mexico City on 11/18, you have no shortage of dates and matchups to offer your clients. So review the schedule, head to social media, makes some calls, and get your clients into the game!
