			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just went out with a bunch of Miami Hurricane friends to see their team play the Cal Bears in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco.  What a great game!  I was also reminded that, with less than a week to go, it is still not too late to see this year&#8217;s best teams, maybe even your team, play in the BCS bowl games.</p>
<p>It used to be that when your team was invited to a bowl game, all the available tickets went to the athletic boosters and corporate sponsors, and there were not always that many tickets left for regular fans. Fortunately those days have gone the way of leather helmets.</p>
<p>FanSnap partners with dozens of ticketing sites, displaying ticket-level search results for all the BCS bowl games and guess what?  There are thousands of tickets still available.  Not quite ready to head back to work? Check out all your choices!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fansnap.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/price.jpg"></a>Fans have told us loud and clear that, along with the location of the seats and great service, the most important element of their ticket search decision is the price.  Some fans are on a tight budget.  For some lucky fans, price is no object.  What <em>everyone</em> wants are the best seats for the price point they have budgeted, whatever it may be.</p>
<p>FanSnap was built to help fans quickly find the best values.  We continue to add partners to give you the largest choice possible.  We now show more than 7.5 million tickets from 56 providers, with many more coming! FanSnap Maps show ticket offers color coded by price range.  Our listings reflect both the ticket prices and any commissions by the ticket provider.</p>
<p>FanSnap&#8217;s key feature to help fans get the most for their money is our price control, located on both the event listings and tickets pages of your search engine.  Yes, you can even select an event from many event listings using price.  You want to see the least expensive Duke basketball tickets or Sharks hockey tickets offered all season?  No problem on FanSnap.</p>
<p>The price control on the tickets page shows the distribution of tickets by price range, at a glance.  This lets you know right up front the choices that are available if you spend a little more or less.  The taller the bar, the more tickets available.  The color of each bar, with lighter colors representing lower prices and darker colors representing higher prices, directly corresponds to the markers on the FanSnap Maps.</p>
<p>Roll your cursor over each bar to see the actual price range highlighted. Select your price range by moving either price slider.  Or, enter your desired lower or upper price directly into the input boxes if you would rather.  You can even just click directly on a price bar to select that price range.  Any of these actions will be instantly reflected in the ticket listings shown and dynamic FanSnap Maps, where available.</p>
<p>The FanSnap Team is continuing to improve your search engine to make it even faster and easier for you to find the sports, concert, and theatre tickets you want.  If you think we are on the right track, please keep telling your friends, family and colleagues.  Many thanks,</p>
<p>Mike</p>
