Metroplex sporting events dominated the top of the rankings with 15 of the top 25 and almost half of the top 100 top selling sporting events. In 2023, the State of Texas had a historic double hosting both the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Final Fours which each ranked on our top selling list. It also hosted one of the WWE Royal Rumble, which is the 2nd biggest pro wrestling event. There won’t be any sporting events of the same caliber hosted in Texas in 2024 unless an in-state makes back to the World Series, or NBA Finals or Stanley Cup Finals.

TicketCity CEO Randy Cohen, “Texans across the state love sports. There is a passion here in the Lone Star State that does not exist the same way anywhere else. What other state can have 25,000 fans show up for a high school football game, followed by 100,000 fans on Saturday at a college football game and then another 80,000 fans at an NFL game on Sunday. For 30 years, TicketCity has been helping fans secure tickets to their favorite events and only in Texas do you see that kind of devotion to sports.”

TicketCity was founded in Austin in 1990 and offers tickets for events across Texas and entire United States. We buy and sell tickets for events. The top annual events at TicketCity are the Masters Golf Tournament, US Open Tennis Tournament and Kentucky Derby.
