Today marks 30 years of running VIPTIX.com !Our story...VIPTIX was born to help fans buy and sell event tickets.There was a time in the 1980's when Nick Giammusso our company President & CEO ran a traditional venue box office at 'The Memorial Auditorium' in our hometown of Buffalo, NY for his Godparents and concert promoters Irwin & Monique Pate. He essentially reported to the artist's manager and the ultimate goal was to get people in the seats and distribute event tickets so the artist was happy.At an early age, Nick realized that aha moment in the ticket industry while helping frustrated fans buy and sell event tickets out of "The Aud" box office. The phone would ring with eager clients looking to buy tickets to an already sold-out event. The next call was someone who had extra seats they wanted to return for a refund. Standard policy at the box office was (and still is today)- NO refunds or exchanges! So Nick would take phone numbers and match-up fans to help one buy, and the other sell their tickets.In 1993, Nick launched out on his own to startVIPTIXfrom the basem*nt of his parents home. The business was born and thrived as a ticket company that helped the average fan buy and sell event tickets!VIPTIXwas started with small 2-3 line classified newspaper ads and eventually evolved and blossomed into one of the first online secondary ticket marketplaces in the world. Our GuaranteeVIPTIX realizes that trust and reputation is everything in the ticket business. Simply, we guarantee that you will be happy with each and every transaction.

How lucky am I to be able to do some work in Italy at another coffee shop @ Café Vinci! Specifically, I am in my Dad’s and both of my wife’s parents hometown of Campobello di Licata, Sicily. It’s a very basic, simple small town with amazing down-to-earth people where we have a lot of family and friends.The six-hour time difference, and my own internal body clock of 11am- 2am make it a perfect working arrangement with the 9-5 working hours back home. The Sicilian people live a comfortable life here. The culture is different. I really feel quite at home. However, the café, or coffee shop is a completely different experience here in Sicily. I was the only person in the coffee shop this morning that was working on a computer! You see the Sicilians go for a cappuccino or an espresso to socialize, and their culture is all about family and friends. Our coffee shops seem to be more about business meetings, schoolwork, ear buds and seem more to be more isolated and rushed. They sit to talk, laugh literally for hours. It’s completely different from my usual Spot Coffee mornings in Williamsville. So many patrons stop at my table to say hello and to ask why I’m working while I’m on vacation? I really don’t know how to respond to their question other than to say that I truly enjoy running VIPTIX.com , working at HUNT Commercial Real Estate and Picone Construction. They look at me strange and can’t comprehend that I have three jobs. Maybe tomorrow morning I’m just going to leave my computer in our apartment and enjoy my morning the way Sicilians do.

UNDER CONTRACT: 6001-6067 Raymond Road, Lockport - 136 acres of land with over 2,000 feet of frontage on Dysinger Road. Another cross pollination deal as I call it. Great to help one of my longtime VIPTIX.com clients buy real estate. It also works the other way around, as many of my HUNT Real Estate clients end up buying event tickets from us! The sellers are family friends and our kids are very close. The buyer is a great guy and friend, who says he has me in his phone as “Super Bowl Nick”. Lol I love people and enjoy helping them navigate the crazy world of real estate and event tickets. Relationships matter!Drone photo credit: Primo Lighting and Sound
