70 million tickets go unsued each year.
This leads to fans and venues alike dissatisfied, as fans lose their perishable item, getting nothing in return, and venues deal with the drain that another empty seat puts on their bottom line, as well as the atmosphere of their event
Why is that? Imagine you’ve got season tickets and you realize you cant go to a game….
elaborate on issues with giving away, craigslist, stubhub, scalpers, etc.
This issues affects individuals, and is also a pain point for small and mid-size corporations, who cant just hawk the tickets themselves so people often times give up and the tickets go unused.
With Tixers, what you end up getting is basically a concierge broker where we are able to give you the quality that you can trust us that you may be able to get on your personal network, but we have the breath of the entire secondary ticket market and can tap into the best deals out there we are able to give value that absolutely delights our users allowing them to come back time and time again. Plus, we are obtaining key information from them that we can market to on both ends, to entice them to submit or buy tickets. Ultimately, we are taking a very holistic approach where we leverage a lot of our competitors efficiencies in the process.
