Sports Illustrated Tickets, a premier primary and secondary ticketing marketplace with over $2.5 billion in inventory and more than 50 million tickets for sports, concerts, and theater events, proudly announced that legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees has joined its distinguished team of investors. Brees, known for his exceptional leadership, strategic acumen, and dedication to excellence, brings a wealth of business expertise to the rapidly growing ticketing technology company.
With the release of the full 2024-25 NFL schedule on Wednesday night on NFL Network, fans can now purchase tickets to every game at SITickets.com. The platform ensures a transparent buying experience, with customers paying only the listed price and no additional fees.
Drew Brees, a celebrated figure both on and off the field, cemented his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history during his 20-year career, primarily with New Orleans. He led the team to its only Super Bowl victory and was named the game’s most valuable player after the 2009 season. One of the most memorable Sports Illustrated covers features Brees lifting his son amidst the championship celebration.
“We are thrilled to welcome Drew Brees to the Sports Illustrated Tickets family,” said David Lane, CEO of Sports Illustrated Tickets. “His leadership, integrity, and passion for innovation make him an invaluable addition to our team. At Sports Illustrated Tickets, we are dedicated to providing a transparent, fan-first ticket-buying experience with no hidden fees on seats to over 250,000 events. Drew shares our commitment to putting fans first, and his expertise will help us build stronger connections with football fans worldwide.”
“When I had the chance to join the Sports Illustrated Tickets team, I couldn’t turn it down,” said Brees. “For 70 years, Sports Illustrated has been a trusted name in sports and an iconic brand. Appearing on the cover with my son after winning the Super Bowl was special, and now being part of the brand’s future, especially with what Sports Illustrated Tickets is doing to revolutionize live event ticketing, is an incredible opportunity I’m excited to invest in.”
Brees’ career has been marked by his commitment to success, teamwork, innovation, and growth—values that align with Sports Illustrated Tickets’ mission. He plans to take an active role in the company, offering strategic business advice, serving as a spokesperson and brand ambassador, and participating in marketing initiatives.
As Sports Illustrated Tickets continues to grow in the ticketing industry, Brees’ involvement marks a significant milestone in the company’s development. With Brees on board, Sports Illustrated Tickets is well-positioned to enhance the ticket-buying experience for fans and elevate their game-day experiences.
