Eliminating the big dogs is sometimes good to give them a wake up call about barriers to entry, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">John Goldie</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Apr 2007 20:28:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: ShowClix Takes on TicketMaster</title><link>http://mashable.com/2007/04/06/showclix-2/#comment-5926545</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feeless Tickets? No. Clever marketing? Very!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jimmy</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:22:32 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
