TickEx Aims To Become 'Google For Tickets'- MUSICWEEK Article 05.05.07

Ticket trading site TickEx.com is launching a search engine for live tickets today (Monday). TickEx.com suggests that its newly-launched PowerSearch will allow consumers to access 95% of ticket content on the web by searching information from all top ticket websites, including Ticketmaster, Viagogo, MyTicketMarket, See Tickets, Stargreen and eBay.

The engine will look for tickets for live music, sports and theatre events - although the company specialises in concerts - with the ability to search by location, date and price. It will look at both primary and secondary ticket sellers and TickEx.com says that it will only display results from "reputable ticket sellers" who have been screened to ensure they are selling authentic tickets. In addition, the status and availability of tickets will be regularly checked.
"We see us as Google for tickets," says chief marketing officer Bill Fischer. "Our research indicates that 80% of internet users have purchased tickets online. Our goal is to be the first place that they go online. We know they go to Google, but Google does a lousy job for tickets. It has no sense of which sites are reputable."

The company will initially focus its marketing and coverage on the UK but will look at expanding into other English speaking countries. TickEx.com itself is an online ticket resale site, offering guarantees to both buyers and sellers and promising a full refund if these are not met.

In total, the live event ticket industry is worth £2.6bn in the UK annually, according to TickEx.com figures, of which £1.1bn is secondary.

Just as the savvy traveler knows to use comprehensive search engines like Travelocity and Kayak to find the lowest prices, so should the UK event-goer use Tickex for the same purpose. Tickex bases itself on similar principles; users run a search, and Tickex comes up with the cheapest tickets available after hunting through a variety of other primary main-seller sites (included but not limited to TicketMaster and TicketLine). Additionally, it checks up on offerings from secondary brokers. Users can search by artist, venue, date, or city for a variety of events; the site claims it can turn up tickets for everything from an Arsenal soccer match to an Amy Winehouse concert to a ballet performance at the London Royal Operahouse. Tickex will also help you out if you need to sell your own tickets by providing you with a list of the best sites for such a transaction.

Mashable.com - Tickex Launches US site August 21, 2007 - 5:29 pm PDT - by Kristen Nicole

TickEx is coming to the US. Based in London, TixEx is a search engine that lets you browse for the best price on tickets for live events.

With TickEx, you can find tickets for events like concerts, theater shows, and sports events. With its centralized search function, TickEx aggregates results and offers you a one-stop shop for finding tickets. Several search filters help you narrow down your search, so you can find exactly what you're looking for. Pick a broad or narrow date range, and filter by price, venue, or city. This is similar to Odeo, which has recently launched a band tracker vertical for niche searches.

A primary differentiating factor for TickEx is its search engine looks across major vendors like Ticketmaster, as well as StubHub, eBay, etc. In what works out to be an affiliate program of sorts, these vendors pay TickEx for leads sent to their respective services ($16 per lead). In this regard, TickEx acts as a broker, and avoids the responsibility of creating a marketplace for users to sell tickets to other individuals. Additionally, TickEx has an affiliate widget that can be placed on your site, letting you take a slice of the pie as well.
