Another Reason Why You Need Some Fricket Help to Shop for Tickets

It's not unheard of to ask your friends for help in getting some tickets to an upcoming concert or game.  In fact, we've found most people do check with their social networks first, before going online and conducting an internet search.  However, most of us don’t have the “connections”, which enable us to pay face value for some of the best seats available, to some the hottest concerts and games, without spending a lot time in-line or online.

The Chicago Tribune recently published a story, which took a look at the practices of some of the larger venues in the Chicago area.  They reported on how some “insiders” have access to special pools of tickets set aside by the venue operators/owners for the communities where the venues are located.   These groups of tickets are often some of the best seats in the house.   The article mentions these tickets are often made available only to the local politicians and to those companies, which do business within the venue’s local community.   Here’s the full article:

We don’t feel there necessarily anything wrong with this practice.  It even probably makes good business sense for the venues to do it, as it likely helps build the necessary strong relationships with the community leaders.  It just makes it harder for those of us who like to get the best seats, and why, with this decrease in supply available to the general public, it makes it more expensive, once you do find them.

We need to bring new tools to the fight for the best tickets!  We built Fricket to help everyone shop for the tickets you want and at the prices you need.   You can compare all of the best secondary ticket brokers in one location; no need to conduct a huge internet search, or contact your local councilman!

Remember… Need tickets?  No insider connections?  No problem! Just Fricket it! http://fricket.com/

It's a Great Time to Shop for Some Fricket Tickets!

 It’s a great time to have some FUN and shop for tickets to GO see all of your favorite teams, bands and shows.  Why? Because Fricket is there to help!  http://fricket.com/  We’ve been working hard to improve our site, and now, we’re ready to turn it loose again for the world to see.   Our goal is to help you shop for the tickets you need, at the prices you want, without the worries of paying too much, or getting ripped-off.  With Fricket, you can compare the best re-sale ticket brokers in one stop.  Side-by-side comparisons, so you’ll feel confidant you’re getting the best prices, all with 100% money-back guarantees.  You’ll be able to get tickets to seats where YOU WANT to sit.  Not just the leftovers.

Our site’s search is location based, so when you visit, first, choose the location where you’re interested in attending an event.  If you just want to see what’s going on, choose “Next Up”, and you’ll see all the great events coming-up in the next 3, 7, or 30 days, for that location.  When searching for your events, you might be surprised and find other events that interest you that are also nearby.  That’s part of what we’re trying to do too.  You can come to Fricket looking for tickets to a specific event, and while shopping for those, you may find other events that you might have missed.

While we’ve made some great improvements, our site still isn’t perfect.  As Coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Perfection is not attainable, but as we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” That’s what we’re doing here.  We know there are still some things that need to improve, but we need your help find them all, and that’s why we’re re-launching now.  We’re not finished building and have BIG plans for the future.
