What Sports Traveler, LLC does

Sports Traveler, LLC is a privately held sports travel agency founded in 1999 and headquartered in the Chicago, Illinois area. The company bundles sports event tickets with hotel accommodations, ground transportation, and optional airfare into packaged travel itineraries for major sporting events. Its product portfolio spans more than fifteen sports categories, including NFL football, MLB baseball, NBA and college basketball, NHL hockey, college football playoffs and bowl games, NASCAR and Formula One auto racing, PGA golf majors, tennis Grand Slams, the Triple Crown horse races, the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, rodeo, WrestleMania, and figure skating. The company complements these packages with standalone ticket sales, bespoke custom trip planning, gift certificates, and a curated set of Sports Experiences such as track driving days and exclusive golf or horse farm tours.

The business operates on a Magento-based e-commerce storefront (sportstraveler.net) supplemented by phone sales and a B2B Travel Planners agent portal. No proprietary technology, APIs, or SDKs are disclosed; the core technology is a standard Magento platform with integrated booking and inventory management. Sports Traveler monetizes primarily through transaction fees on package and ticket sales, with secondary professional-services revenue from custom itinerary design and affiliate/referral economics from travel agents using the B2B portal. Customer segments include individual sports fans and families (primary), corporate groups for entertainment and rewards, and travel agencies and agents reselling packages on commission. Pricing is entirely quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
