| Tixers | Tixers is changing the way tickets are exchanged. With Tixers, you can exchange tickets you're unable to use now for tickets you can use in the future. Ticket holders receive instant credit for their tickets and can use those credits for other sporting events or concerts. Those who do not have credits on the site can name the game they want togo to and purchase tickets as well. Millions of tickets go unused each year and Tixers is trying to eliminate this problem. Tixers is different than competitors like Stubhub because Tixers guarantees some value immediately and is aiming to create a network that allows ticket holders, primarily season ticket holders, to "share" tickets among one another. Tixers primary customer are corporations and small businesses that purchase season tickets that they often let go unused. Revenue is generated through processing fees when sellers redeem tickets (similar to frequent flyer mile redemption fees) and on a spread based upon demand. | $20K | Seed | Oct 01, 2013 |  |
