Where do the tickets come from? | |
| From about 1,000 brokers all over
the US. |
| How big is this industry? | |
| Hard to say, but estimates are that
it is over $4 billion per year. It is growing. Many people,
probably you, did not know that this market was online. As more
people learn about it, sales will increase. |
| Is
the web site really free? | |
| Yes. You will need a domain. We
suggest you buy one at www.godaddy.com |
| Do
I need to get hosting? | |
| No, we take care of the hosting. |
|
|
| Sure. www.afterboxoffice.com |
| Can
I personalize my Free Ticket Web Site? | |
| Yes. You can add your own logo,
featured events and Top Ten events. If you know how to edit Style
Sheets you can create a site with a unique look and feel. |
| Can
I build my own site with your inventory? | |
| Yes. But you need to know how to
program using ASP, PHP, HTML or Web Services. |
|
What if I already have a web site? | |
| Great, you can add our database of
tickets to your site. This is called a plug-in. You will need a
webmaster or have a good knowledge of HTML yourself. |
|
|
| Nothing. This is a Free Ticket Web Site. You will however need your own domain. We
suggest you buy one at www.godaddy.com |
| How
does the commission work? | |
|
You set the retail
markup on the tickets on your site. For completed sales using our
Direct Method, we pay you the difference between the wholesale
price and retail price less 3% of the wholesale price.
The average markup
is 20%. On a $100 wholesale ticket price marked up using our
Direct Method to $120, you would make $17.
Our average order
size is $400. |
|
|
| We pay on the 20th of the month for
the previous months commissions. |
|
|
| That's up to you. You market the
Free Ticket Web Site. You get traffic to your site. If
someone buys tickets you get credit for that sale. |
| Who
are you most successful partners? | |
| SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
specialists, PPC (Pay Per Click) experts and web site owners who
have traffic from existing sources - shopping, sports, music,
theater, broadway and other sites. |
| Who
charges the credit card? | |
| The brokers do. |
| Do
I need a merchant account? | |
| No. |
|
What happens if there is a problem with an order? | |
| We have a customer service
department that handles customer issues. |
| Why
is this site and your ads so lame? | |
| We are too busy to create fancy ads
and graphics. |
| How
long does it take to get started? | |
| We can have your site up and
running in a few days. |
|
What do I need to get started? | |
| You need to sign our Standard
Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement. |
| Are
there restrictions on how I can I market this site? | |
| Yes. No Spam, no illegal
activities, no shady marketing tactics. |
| Do
you accept anyone into this business? | |
| No, we will only accept those we
think can sell tickets online. |
| Do
you accept people from outside the USA ? | |
| Yes. Some of our best partners are
from Europe and Asia. |
|
|
| We want to sell more tickets. |
