Curious, once you get bigger you're going to butt up against all of the anti-scalping laws that are up there, as well as the ticketmasters of the world that are going to contend that you shouldn't have the right to complete with their monopoly. Have you thought about what strategies you'd use at that time, and if so, would you care to share them with us?
This is purely for my own curiosity, I don't have interest in this space or anywhere remotely close to it.
Short answer: No we won't because it's not our problem.
Long answer: We don't carry any inventory or process any transactions - we just show the results of others. Our ticket providers could run in to problems (they have in the past already), but enough deals exist that we'd still have ticket providers.
Stubhub, Viagogo, Ticketsnow, Seatexchange, Ticketmaster et al are already working on agreements with the teams/leagues. For example, MLB has already signed a deal with Stubhub.
Ticketmaster/Ticketsnow is one of our providers. They are not a direct competitor because they are a primary ticket market - we are a secondary ticket market aggregator. Our main competitors are TickEx, Ticketwood & Fansnap along with some unlaunched ones I'm not supposed to know about it.
Most places ignore the anti scalping laws because they're retarded. When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. No one ever complains about all the below face value tickets found at most NBA and MLB games.
