Is Ticketing A About To Change Again… I Mean Just A Little?

admin|November 14, 2009

In the past two days I got shut out of tix to Lady Gaga, too slow for the pre-sale, too slow for the real sale. The reason was I usually go to shows by myself but I was trying for two. Ticket Broker prices are $160 plus expensies at the low end .

There isn’t only Ticketmaster. There’s ticketmaster, telecharge, Livenation and ticketweb for the smaller venues and now word of ticketfly.com in today’s New York Time -a boutique ticket middleman with the same software as the big boys but catering to the smaller nightclubs.

Ticketfly will help design a clubs website, get them on to the big three social networking and essentially be your bff. A pretty good idea and something has to stop the behemouth that is monopolizing ticket sales.

Here are the clubs they rep:

Egyptian Theatre
Knitting Factory Concert House

Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn Bowl
Knitting Factory Brooklyn
Littlefield

Chicago, IL
Double Door

Missoula, MT
The Wilma Theatre

New York, NY
