Since we launched on Techcrunch, we were barraged with criticism. Some of it was constructive, some not so much. Honestly, none of it bothered me or my cofounder (tdavis) as we laughed up the ugly and took the rest as free consulting.
Except the comment about our passion - questioning how we could devote so much time to "making [tickets] a bit cheaper". As PG pointed out, it's never been about the tickets, it's about the event themselves. Think about the top 20 moments in your life, chances are one of them occurred at a sporting event, concert or show. That's why I love what I do. Oh and because all that stuff is now a tax write-off for me :).

- dan_sim 18y agoThat one hurts! It's ok to attack ideas, functionalities, bad design, ugly UI but the guts of the founders... that is really really mean.
- tdavis 18y agoI don't think we've ever gotten a piece of "personal attack" criticism that I took seriously. The way I figure it, I know myself way better than anybody else and am more than capable of issuing personal criticism. I'd have felt a lot worse if he would have criticized my code or something.
