(Newswire.net — October 22, 2014) — Forward Market Media (FMM), the company behind TeamTix, today answered college football fans requests to open a forward market that ensures individuals they will get to the stadium on game day in an unforgettable way if their team qualifies for the first-ever College Football Playoff games.
Leveraging the economic power of forward markets, Forward Market Media is now providing fans with an opportunity to self-aggregate and create an extraordinary in-flight tailgate party should their team qualify for this year’s Playoff Semi-Finals. Using CrowdHype’s suite of social media tools, fans can band together to organize a same-day private jet charter from their team’s city to the city of each event.
Over the last seven years, FMM’s user base has been acquiring game tickets through the forward market and asking for a similar service for travel. Similar to Forward Market Media’s TeamTix marketplace, which is live and trading at http://collegefootballplayoff.teamtix.com, the new offering lets fans purchase a reservation that signifies their interest in the private jet party, but only actually pay for the associated flight fare if their team qualifies to play in that game and they convince enough fellow fans to sign on to fly.
This year’s College Playoff Semifinals will take place in Pasadena, California and New Orleans, Louisiana. Both games will be Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015. All college football fans know that waiting to book travel until they know if their team is going to make it to the playoffs is costly and challenging. It is no surprise then that they are self-aggregrating to find a solution. Forward Market Media’s new option allows fans to avoid the last minute scramble by organizing a one-day trip via a private jet to and from the game.
Here’s how it works: starting Saturday, Oct. 18, fans from across the nation can go to http://www.tailgateinthesky.com to join fellow diehards who want to take a private jet charter to the game. If enough fans purchase reservations through the CrowdHype platform and spread the word to their friends, Forward Market Media will facilitate the logistics of the private air charter to and from the game.
“College football fans are at the heart of the Forward Market concept, and our mission is to help bring them the access they deserve to those once-in-a-lifetime experiences,” said Rick Harmon, CEO, Forward Market Media.”While getting their hands on a ticket is important, fans are now looking to us for the next step in the process — getting to the game in a way that is affordable and more importantly, unforgettable. We listened to these requests and are excited to announce an option for fans to not only ban together and avoid the last-minute woes of booking travel when thier team makes it, but also have the time of their life on game day.”
