I wondered when somebody was going to bring this up. For the record however, Fansnap has spent a significant amount of money purchasing traffic. There were ads on finance.yahoo.com at one point. The fact that they only amassed 94k uniques is almost laughable, poor retention/use of money--imo the whole ticketing business is a tough sell if you're just aggregating-- Tom and Dan have definitely put in a heart full effort--I think they probably understand the business just as well as fansnap (if not better) and spent much less money learning about it at the end of the day. Kudos to those guys bootstrapping an idea.

If Fansnap is pouring money and resources into business development (getting long-term partnerships and contracts in place), then this might not be reflected in their numbers for some time. It still makes them a very dangerous competitor. A three-orders-of-magnitude difference in development resources might not be scary to people who believe smaller is better when it comes to programming, but it's hard to make up that kind of ground in other areas.
