TicketStumbler Launches!
August 6th, 2008
Our friends over at TicketStumbler.com launched today. TicketStumbler is a search engine and comparison website for the secondary ticket market. For about the past month, TicketStumbler has been in private beta (we were invited to be beta testers) and is now in public beta. It’s come a long way since its private beta as the site was completely redesigned and some pretty cool futures such as geotracking and stadium addresses were added. Additionally, TicketStumbler offers a very easy to use natural language search and intuitive interface to find tickets to sold out sports games. Right now they only have tickets for the NFL, NCAA College Football, MLB and NHL, but they planning on adding more sports as soon as possible.
Congrats guys!
