    Having been a show promoter in the past I can see this site being very valuable. Its not easy to get a broker to start carrying your tickets without some pretty large upfront fee's.

    However, From the looks of the FAQ the promoter/bands are charged between .50 and $3.00 per ticket sold. Instead of the customer feeling ripped off seeing "Service Charge - $2.50" at the bottom of each ticket those fees will just be built into the base ticket price.

    Feeless Tickets? No. Clever marketing? Very!

    I completely agree with your comments Jimmy, I really expect to see alot of people looking to offer these typically challenging or expensive services in an easy fashion to consumers. Eliminating the big dogs is sometimes good to give them a wake up call about barriers to entry, etc.
