FANSNAP AND TICKETNETWORK ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP
Leading Ticket Search Engine Now Shows 7.5 Million Tickets in Results
December 5, 2008 -- PALO ALTO, CA and VERNON, CT - FanSnapsm, the live event ticket search engine for fans, and TicketNetworksm, the leading source for the most comprehensive selection of tickets at competitive prices, today announced a new agreement where TicketNetwork.com results will now be displayed on the FanSnap ticket search engine.
The FanSnap ticket search engine at www.fansnap.com now displays the latest ticket-level detail results for seven and one-half million sports, concert, and theatre tickets from fifty-six of the leading ticket providers. FanSnap's ultimate objective is to work with every ticket provider in the U.S. to provide fans the broadest possible choice. The ticket providers benefit from a dedicated customer acquisition channel to help them sell more tickets.
“We are very pleased to welcome TicketNetwork, a leader in the industry, to what is rapidly becoming the most extensive accurate view of the available live event tickets on the market," said Mike Janes, CEO of FanSnap. “We look forward to making it fast and easy for fans to see the incredibly broad choice of available tickets on TicketNetwork.com.”
The most popular feature of the ticket search engine, which launched its public beta in September and recently announced a new $5.5 million funding round, is its FanSnap Mapssm – patent-pending dynamic venue maps which allow fans to determine at-a-glance the ticket price range by section using colored "heat map" summary markers. Fans also can zoom in to see the ticket offers from numerous providers placed in clearly labeled rows.
“We are pleased to be partnering with the FanSnap team,” said Don Vaccaro, CEO of TicketNetwork. “While we are already growing at an incredible rate, we believe providing access to the ticket listings on our real-time ticket exchange through FanSnap provides a great way for even more fans to be exposed to TicketNetwork.com.”
Ticket Software LLC, TicketNetwork’s holding company, was just named the number two fastest growing company on the prestigious 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 500. The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 ranks the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America, based on five-year revenue growth. The company reported revenues of $83.8 million in 2007, an astonishing leap of 111,580 percent from 2003 results.
