New FanSnap(SM) Ticket Search Engine Makes Finding Celtics(R) Tickets Easy "Smart Ticket Search" Lets Fans of the World Champions See Thousands of Available Tickets PALO ALTO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 29, 2008 -- FanSnap(SM), the live
event ticket search
engine for fans, today announced that, with the beginning
of the pro
basketball season, it is providing ticket-level search results
for all Celtics
games.
FanSnap, funded by General Catalyst Partners of Cambridge,
MA, recently
announced the launch of the public beta of its site, www.fansnap.com, which
displays the latest sports, concert and theatre ticket search
results, now
including over 6 million tickets from more than 50 of the
leading ticket
providers.
"FanSnap makes it fast and easy for fans to see available live event tickets, even when the event is sold out," said Mike Janes, CEO of FanSnap. "FanSnap is helping Boston hoops fans find their 'perfect' tickets by displaying thousands of ticket search results for each game, and offering new fan-focused search features. Many providers offer tickets to Celtics games, including StubHub, RazorGator, Ace Ticket, The Ticket Guys, Seacoast Ticket Agency, ABC Tickets, ASC Ticket Company, Barry's Tickets Service, Prestige Entertainment, Red Zone Tickets, and The Ticket Machine. FanSnap lets you see them all in one place." On FanSnap, a ticket search query such as "celtics," "patriots december," or "ac/dc boston" returns actual ticket-level details that fans can compare across providers. This is unlike the general search engines, whose ticket search results are merely web site addresses. Once fans make their ticket selection they are directly "deep-linked" into the ticket provider's shopping cart to complete the purchase.
