Solution: Build a better mousetrap than ticketmaster/livenation tyrants that rewards true fans and diehards...and also put stubhub and other secondary markets out of business. Credit card companies are figuring it out and buying up huge quantities of tickets to sell to their card holders as a "reward"...they make money and act like they’re doing card holders a favor..SMRT. Need to consider: penalties for bad actors, rewards for super users, and some control on how tickets go on sale that at a base level favors the fans. Also need to consider 4 key stake holders: artists, venues, labels, and fans. issue is that the interests of the artists, venues and labels are all aligned, ie. sell fast and price high, but not aligned with the fans, who are the VERY ones that make the artists famous and should be the most cared for.
User: Concert/show ticket buyer
Benefit: solve a HUGE current pain point for concert/event goers. this is a big market, and RIPE for disruption, ask anyone about how unpleasant/cumbersome the experience is. Make it easier, faster, and maybe even cheaper for loyal fans to go to the shows of the artists they make famous.
any thoughts?
- oxalo 12y agoIs there really money in this? As someone who has suffered the pain of insta-sellout-tickets, I understand. But from a business perspective, you need a way into the market, and 'supporting the loyal fans' I don't think will cut it.
- teovall 12y agoUse the artists as a back door around the label and the venue. Happy fans and a good purchasing experience make for more sold tickets and more loyal fans. Concerts are artists' bread and butter. That's where they make most of their money.
