CitySide Tickets, Inc. to Enter Multibillion-Dollar MMA Industry
BOSTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CitySide Tickets, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: CIST), which owns and operates www.CitySidetickets.com,
a nationwide event ticket purchasing venue that caters to a diverse
selection of popular theater, music, and sporting events, today
announces that the company will be forming CitySide Entertainment for
the purpose of promoting and sponsoring Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) attracts a youthful demographic, with a good
portion between the ages of 18-24. While the techniques of MMA are not
particularly innovative, it's the distinct combination of martial arts
forms that has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts. According
to Scarborough Sports Marketing, a sports fan research firm, MMA fans
are also 15 percent more likely than the average American adult to have
a household income of $75k+ and 10 percent more likely to own a second
home. Building itself as a mainstream competitive sport, MMA is now a
multimillion-dollar industry. It can be found on pay-per-view
television, as well as in thousands of training halls across the United
States.
Company CEO Michael DeAmicis stated, "Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has
become one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. With our
focus of becoming a major player in the event ticket market, it only
made sense to include MMA in our business strategy. With the formation
of CitySide Entertainment, we will attempt to leverage the rapid growth
within the MMA industry to further expand our influence in the larger
entertainment industry."
