The ticketing biz deserves a bit of specialization now as it is so massive.
Here's a LITTLE overview of just one aspect I looked at;
Australian Grand Prix, Malaysian Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix, San Marino Grand Prix, Spanish Grand Prix, Monaco Grand Prix, European Grand Prix, Canadian Grand Prix, US Grand Prix, French Grand Prix, British Grand Prix, German Grand Prix, Hungarian Grand Prix, Turkish Grand Prix, Italian Grand Prix, Belgian Grand Prix, Brazilian Grand Prix, Japanese Grand Prix, Chinese Grand Prix.
As you can see just the GP is HUGE and that is NOT ALL of them. Then there's the major horse racing events and carnivals, surfing, yachting etc.
Another method to get going is in the 'secondary ticket market', often called scalping but when legitimized to an agency it becomes the harmlessly named secondary ticket market.
If you have serious money sell primary tickets. If you don't then get into the secondary market in whatever way you can. You can sell tickets on the secondary market obtained from 'ahem' whatever source. Just don't reneg on a refund if your client fails to get into the event.
eBay is the big place for secondary tickets, of course.
Let us know what you think.
