'Defender of Face Value' helps fans secure face value for college football play-offs and national championship games; has support of sports stars Steve Beuerlein and Maurice Evans

 

DALLAS, TX - – Can you afford not to be there? TickAssure! gets college football fans to play-offs and national championship games -- without having their wallets sacked. Breaking new grounds in the realm of ticket sales, TickAssure!, a Dallas-based service that supports fans by serving as the "Defender of Face Value," offers theTickAssure! Ticket Protection Plan to allow fans to purchase tickets for what they were meant to cost -- not what the market dictates.

 

TickAssure! is underwritten by several A.M. Best "A" rated insurers. It’s simple, safe, and sensible:

1)     Pick your favorite team and secure a TickAssure! Ticket Protection Plan for college football’s semifinal and national championship games anytime throughout the season. TickAssure! prices fluctuate based on real-time odds.

2)     When your team advances to the semifinals or national championship game, purchase your game tickets from a National Association of Ticket Brokers-member broker. TickAssure! will reimburse the difference of the cost of tickets and the face value (maximum rebate of $2,000 for national championship and $750 for semifinals).

3)     Receive your rebate from TickAssure!. Within 30 days of purchasing your tickets, send proof of purchase, photo copy of the tickets showing the face value, and completed paperwork to TickAssure! to receive your rebate check.

 

The idea behind TickAssure! is an exciting concept that has led to sports stars’ partnerships with Steve Beuerlein, CBS analyst and former NFL quarterback, and Maurice Evans, former vice president of the NBA Players Association and long-time NBA player.

 

"There is nothing like having your fans behind you when you're playing the big game," said Beuerlein. "Bringing the sport of football back to the people who support it is what it's all about."

 

TickAssure! is the brainchild of a life-long Auburn football fan Todd Armstrong, whose team's advancement to the national championships last season was unexpected and very exciting.  His joy was quickly eclipsed by the staggeringly high ticket prices to the game -- prices that kept this fan and his family from traveling to support their favorite team.

 

"Auburn wasn't on the college football radar last year when the season got started. There certainly wasn't any expectation that we would play for an SEC Championship, much less the national championship!" Armstrong remembers. "What Auburn did last year is proof that anything can happen -- regardless of early season rankings.”

 

Due to high demands and short lead times, the college football ticket marketplace is less than ideal financially for many fans. Armstrong continues, “I couldn't afford to pay thousands of dollars for a ticket, especially during the holiday season, and didn't have time to save for this amazing opportunity, so we couldn't go." Armstrong set out to find a solution to this problem and quickly realized that there wasn't one.

 

"As college football fans, we have all experienced the feeling of knowing that there is no way you can afford tickets to a championship game if forced to buy them on the secondary market," said Armstrong. "We set out to defend face value by creating a financial product that would give fans the protection we have all needed so that we could now attend the games that we previously could not afford."

 

College football fans can purchase the peace of mind that if this year is really the year, they can be there in person to help wear the lucky socks or do the pre-game good-luck ritual that their team might need to win on the gridiron -- peace of mind that can often be purchased for less than the cost of a team jersey.

 

TickAssure! has plans to extend its offering to other major sports and entertainment events throughout the country and the world.
