Sports ticket derivative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sports ticket derivative is a type of futures contract specifically for sports tickets. Typical terms of a ticket future contract stipulate that a ticket to a specific game (typically a championship game, such as Super Bowl or World Series) is delivered to the holder of the contract contingent on a specific team making it to that event. Ticket futures were first offered by Yoonew in 2004, under the title of Team Fantasy Seats.[1]
