First off, you need to make that left graphic thinner, its pushing your content so far right you have to scroll to read it. That's bad, side scrolling by your visitors will make a lot of people leave. Make the graphic longer by moving some of the pics down, or just make it smaller overall.
The multiple colors, with no coherent "theme" makes your site look amateur, you want to become the "authority" people turn to, so you need to look professional.
For your subject matter, I would recommend brighter, primary colors, max of one, with no more than 2 complimentary colors. Keep within an SBI template color and just change out the left graphic, keeping in mind the dimensions for best design. Also, make sure your navigation buttons compliment the site design, not overwhelm it as they do now. Your logo header should also maintain the same color scheme of your overall design.
For your content ... all I see is hardsell, no content, just your "hype" that you are the best place to find and buy the tickets. I can do that at the merchant direct, why should I go through you? What can you do for me? Can you educate me about online ticket companies? Who charges what, what fees they charge, how they base them, how they deliver the tickets, etc.
Remember Ken's mantra ... CTPM ... Content, then traffic, then presell, then monetize ... your site is hardsell, monetize without content and presell being used at all.

Just upload a new graphic for that spot and it will overwite the existing graphic.

Hello...
Yes---you need to change your navigation buttons! They are out of place and hard to read.
Deb said it...your site needs true content and articles. I would rewrite the whole first page....it gets "blah..blah" when you "from this team to that team" for each sport. Then, you repeat it on the other pages.
Also...if you have researched other brokers so well.....change research to researched. (yes...my hubby teases me because I always catch these things).
If you want some ideas, PM me.
