Is GTSM Moving in to Triumph's Territory?

GTSM (GT Sports Marketing) is planning a New Jersey show in 2011. Are they capitalizing on the exit of the Triumph Football Spectacular?

A comment on the Football Spectacular Out-of-Business post gave me the tip on this.

GTSM has been doing on the West Coast: San Jose, Bay Area, for a while now. As far as I can tell, this is their first entry to the eastern market.

I haven't been to a GTSM show - the CA shows are a bit too far for me to travel. I sent a message to GTSM for more information. I'll report back if I hear more.

This is great news. As far as I am concerned the older Triumph thread is dead. Any new information about this new show is greatly appreciated!

If there happens to be any news about Triumph, be sure to post it here as well.

See some of you guys in 2011? Start saving now!

From what I've gathered on msg boards, GTSM had exclusives at the Triumph shows in the past, so it's not breaking new ground entirely for them. I was told the '08 show had about 20 GTSM exclusive guests.

GTSM did have a spot at the triumph shows in 07 and 08 , they had around 20 - 25 players.If i'm not mistaken they had the area to the right as soon as you walked in the front door - from my dealings with them they were great. Hopefully they will have more this time around. I am looking forward to the show ( my wife isn't lol )

I sent them email a week or so ago asking for more information, but didn't hear back. I'll check in with them again once their current show is finished.

If they are picking up Triumph's slack (and it is not out of the question that Triumph will be back either) but I was at the 2008 and yes, GTSM's exclusive's were there. But who is going to pick up the clask (if there is any?) and invite other players.

i.e. Brady Quinn :-)

And now that the Triumph Sports URL is up for sale via Go Daddy, that pretty much means no one renewed the domain name which is a proberbial nail in the coffin.

Go GTSM!

Would it bne wrong for us to try to contact them and let them know who we would LOVE to see in New Jersey? Wouldn't hurt to show them they have a following and support?

I sent them -GTSM- an e-mail yesterday for some info and so far no answer. I will keep trying .

James said...

@MiaFins1 - Please report back if you hear back. I'm still waiting from my 2/21 email, but I guess we do have like 15 months until the show. :) I'd still like to know what's up too though.

With Triumph's blessing, GTSM is taking over the NJ show in April 2011. Guests have not been confirmed yet but expect big name NFL stars from the GTSM stable. Rice,Montana,Bush, Polamalu, Brees?? All are possiblities..Keep checking the website.

GTSM just did a HOF Spectacular out here in San Jose, Ca. a few weeks ago. There were 35 HOF Football players spread over 3 days. My ticket for a "Stimulus Package" got me 21 autographs for 490 bucks. . I think they need a little more work on organization, and their web site kinda sucks. But they worked with me on ticket mixups, and handed me a ticket for Joe Montana. Not too shabby. We had a great time at the show.

Who was all there in San Jose?

James said...

@flyte44 - I missed all the names for their latest show, but I think it included LT, Emmitt and Marshall Faulk - similar line up to their next Bay Area show in Feb, 2011.
