VERNON, CT -- (Marketwire) -- 07/02/09 -- TicketNews announces top ticket
sellers rankings for the week ending June 27, 2009.
TOP 20 OVERALL
SELLERS
StubHub
President Chris Tsakalakis has been tapped to deliver the keynote speech at Ticket Summit 2009
Vegas. With the ticketing conference just a couple weeks away,
Tsakalakis will bring a wealth of knowledge about the secondary market to
the event. Ticket Summit 2009 Vegas will take place from July 15-17 at the
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. Tsakalakis is scheduled to make
his keynote address on July 16 at noon.
Ticketmaster,
the number one seller in the Top Overall Seller and Top Primary Seller
rankings, lost one of its many venues partners this week when the Tennessee
Performing Arts Center (TPAC) ended
its relationship with the ticketing giant. According to TicketNews,
TPAC decided to end the 29-year partnership because it claimed online
ticket sales have been growing in recent years, to the point that it felt
it could better serve its customers by selling tickets directly to them.
Ticketmaster and StubHub finished in the top two spots this week with power
scores of 31.82 and 18.24, respectively. The two were followed in the
rankings by TicketsNow (power score 7.01) and Live Nation (power score
6.70).

TicketNews.com developed the algorithm for the exclusive weekly rankings of
the industry's ticket sellers. Top sellers rankings and power scores are
based on web traffic received by a ticket seller's website. The power score
is highly correlated with the number of transactions from the TicketNetwork
Exchange(TM), the world's largest secondary ticket market exchange. A top
seller power score illustrates a given seller's category-specific
significance. Three factors obtained from multiple independent resources
are used to compare sellers within a particular category.
1. Number of unique visitors (IP addresses visiting a website in a
24-hour period).
2. Number of visits (a series of one or more page requests by a visitor
without 30 consecutive minutes of inactivity).
3. Page views (the average number of unique pages viewed by a unique
visitor).
Top seller power scores should only be used to compare sellers within a
particular category. TicketNews.com also ranks the top events weekly. For

Get smart about buying tickets!
Getting the best tickets is all about smart shopping -- and we're here to
help! If you're thinking of buying tickets to a concert, sporting, or
theater event, here are some tips to enhance your shopping experience, and
help you save money!
(1) Buy your tickets from a reputable distributor. If you opt to
purchase your tickets from an unknown vendor, be sure to research
customer reviews and/or call their customer service line to get a
sense of their level of service. Any reputable vendor should provide
customer service Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-5 p.m., at minimum. The
TicketNetwork customer service center is open seven days a week from
7 a.m. - 1 a.m.
(2) Confirm the website check-out is secure. It is not enough for an
online retailer to "say" their website is secure -- it needs to be
certified by an approved scanning vendor (ASV). TicketNetwork, for
example, is certified by ControlScan. In addition, it has added
EVSSL (Extended Verification Secure Socket Layer) check-out
security. You know a site is EVSSL secure when the URL bar at the
top turns GREEN.
(3) Always check the purchase guarantee. Any online purchase, from a
toaster to a car, has some type of purchase guarantee. While it may
seem tedious, it is in every shopper's interest to read the fine
print. When purchasing tickets through TicketNetwork.com, customers
are guaranteed a 100% refund in the event the requested seats are no
longer available.
