About Us

Brad Schy, the owner and founder of Musical Chairs, is a UCLA graduate in communications studies and holds a JD from Loyola Law school. After practicing (but not enjoying) law for three years at Triad Artists, a major talent agency in Los Angeles, Brad left Triad and backpacked through Europe seeing "The Wall" concert at the Berlin Wall and The Rolling Stones in Prague. Brad was always the one all his friends came to for tickets (non profit at the time) as he has been attending concerts since he hitchhiked to see Elton John when he was twelve and sporting events since he was three months old.

Upon returning from Europe and not wanting to practice law, Brad opened Musical Chairs out of his apartment in 1990. In 1993 the agency grew and moved to their present office in Brentwood, California.

Brad has attended almost every major event in the World including the World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals, NCAA Final 4, NHL Finals, World Cup Finals and 100's of concerts, his favorite being Jimmy Buffett. He attends every event with his wife Michelle and his children are concert and sporting event veterans. Brad feels extremely fortunate that he sells tickets because of his love for attending live events.
