Executive Team
Amy Stephens
Founder & CEO
Amy had two tickets to see The Producers Labor Day weekend 2001 just before 9/11. She decided to sell them on eBay and visit her sister instead. That worked out really well. Less than a year later, Amy’s first child, Grace, was born. She quit her job teaching middle school in Alpharetta, Georgia so she could stay home with Grace. Less than a week after Grace’s birth, she cleared her savings account to buy a 20-game pack to the Anaheim Angels games. The pack included the postseason games and the Angels went on to win the World Series by defeating Barry Bonds and the Giants in seven games. Amy’s Tickets was officially born.
Amy sold primarily baseball and college football tickets on eBay from 2002-2005 but then found StubHub in August of 2005. In 2009, Amy attended the most prestigious pro golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia for the first time and fell in love. She lost money on the event because of the economy being in the tank but she now had a vision for Augusta. Since then, Amy has bought 10 houses near the tournament hub and entertains almost 500 people a day annually in Augusta.
Amy still thinks of herself as a stay-at-home mom with Grace and Drew now at the University of Georgia and two kids still at home.
When asked what separates her from the competition, she states, “I have developed personal relationships with my customers, and they know they can depend on excellent customer service consistently. Even in 2020 when Covid hit, I tried to refund every single person’s purchase within a few months of everything shutting down. It was not easy but it was the right thing to do.” Amy’s VIP Events now has five staff members of which three are ladies.

Tim
Chief Development Officer
Tim was raised in a household where his father, a sales officer, always kept a stash of tickets on hand. Growing up, Tim frequented numerous sporting events, particularly Atlanta Braves, Georgia Tech, and Louisiana State University games. In 2002, he and his wife Amy founded their business to enable Amy to stay home with their children and retire from teaching. Over the following two decades, Tim worked in commercial finance, often leading development teams, while also actively supporting Amy in purchasing decisions and engaging in coaching, church, and community activities.
Following the challenging period of Covid in 2021, Amy and Tim recognized the surging demand and decided it was time for Tim to retire from his finance career and join Amy’s Tickets on a full-time basis. Tim officially joined the team in January 2022. Since then, Amy’s Tickets has experienced remarkable growth, doubling its revenue and forging valuable strategic alliances.
Tim holds a bachelor’s degree from Point University, where he played collegiate baseball for four years, and an MBA from Georgia State University.
