VERNON, CT--(Marketwire - 11/03/09) - TicketNetwork.com, the leading source for event ticket inventory, announced today the launch of the first of several upgrades focused on increasing the value of the entertainment shopping experience for ticket buying and selling consumers.
Historically, competition among ticketing websites was based only on price and catchy slogans rather than value. "Consumers are increasingly taking advantage of technological developments in electronic commerce," said Don Vaccaro, CEO of TicketNetwork. "The integration of sophisticated shopping tools and social networks has provided buyers with the ability to shop smarter and more efficiently. Shoppers that take advantage of the online developments can quickly compare prices, ask a loyal network of friends for advice and completely customize their shopping interface," Vaccaro added.
These changes cater to loyal ticket buyers who seek greater value and an increase in their overall shopping experience when purchasing tickets to live entertainment events. TicketNetwork's goal is to capitalize on such advancements and continue to lead the industry by providing entry to memorable entertainment experiences.
The first upgrade focuses on the efficiency and aesthetics of the ticket shopping experience and the launch of TicketNetwork's SportSaver and ShowSaver -- two weekly communications that are based on customized customer interests. Future TicketNetwork enhancements may include robust search technology, an integrated social networking platform, fan-focused collaboration and enhanced consumer-to-consumer exchange opportunities.
