Show HN: UsherBuddy, Last-Minute Event Tickets
usherbuddy.com
Was hoping to get some feedback from you guys on anything and everything related to our launch. UsherBuddy is a solution that venues can use to offer last-minute tickets to consumers. Compare it to the TKTS booths but on the web, not only broadway, and catered towards residents and not tourists!
For consumers: Last-minute usually means a discount to go out and discover something new. If the show is really popular the venue can increase the price if they would like. Event discovery on a budget, if you will.
For venues: Seats at a venue are perishable. Incremental revenue is where they make money, so we try to help them fill the seats while still getting something for the seat. This is similar to Goldstar or Stubdog, but by doing it last-minute we hope to get rid of the cannibalization of sales that those services promote.
Currently, we have venues signed up and are just trying to gauge the initial consumer reaction. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
