Savefans Gets Coverage in Mashable

altHugely popular Social Media site Mashable.com dished out some major props to SaveFans! today, featuring their ticketing platform as part of their Spark Of Genius Series. The contest, presented by Microsoft BizSpark, “showcases a promising new software company, and finds the unique feature that separates it from the competition.” SaveFans! is an offer based ticket platform that allows users to negotiate the price paid for live event tickets.

 From Mashable via their post titled:

SaveFans! Takes the Bite Out of Event Tickets

Quick Pitch: SaveFans! is an offer based ticket platform that allows users to negotiate the price paid for live event tickets.

Genius Idea: SaveFans! brings some sanity back to buying tickets. Sellers can list tickets for free and buyers can negotiate prices for tickets for sporting events, concerts and theatre shows.

I think that most concert goers or sports fans would agree that the live event industry is catered towards the promoters/ticket agencies (soon to be ruled by one company) and not the fans themselves.  View the full story:

Needless to say, we here at SaveFans! are quite appreciative of this very high honor and are excited about continuing to give you, the fans, The Power To Negotiate!
