Seatwave, Europe's leading fan-to-fan ticket exchange, has
reached the landmark of one million tickets being sold through the
site. To mark the occasion, Seatwave identified the buyer of the
millionth ticket and gave that lucky person two tickets a month to
any event of their choice for a whole year. Keen concert-goer and
jewelry model maker Simon Keeling from Brockley, London, was the
one who struck gold when he bought a pair of Mystery Jet
tickets.
Created by a group of people who believe that getting tickets
should be really easy - and more importantly, safe - Seatwave has
quickly become the favorite site for people wanting the best choice
of tickets to concerts, shows and sporting events. The company
provides a market-based exchange where people can buy and sell
tickets in the knowledge that they are 100% safe.
Founder and CEO Joe Cohen said: "Reaching the one million mark
after only three years is confirmation to us that secondary
ticketing works brilliantly when offered through a secure,
transparent and easy to use service. We are delighted to have been
able to help over a million people get to the events they wanted to
see"
Simon Keeling, the millionth ticket buyer, commented: "I often
go to gigs and so always check Seatwave if I've missed tickets
going on sale and they've sold out.. To get the call from Seatwave
explaining that I will get two tickets every month, to anything I
like, for a whole year was amazing. I have already started to plan
some of my outings for the year. I am a massive sports fan and my
partner loves the theatre so it is great to be able to have that
level of choice along side all those gigs. 2011 looks like it is
going to be a great year for live events. Thanks you so much
Seatwave."
Seatwave operates in the UK and several markets in mainland
Europe, enabling fans to safely and securely buy and sell tickets
to any event.
