About
When tickets sell out, or the seats you’re looking for aren’t available, the resale market can be downright intimidating, making it impossible to know if you’re getting a fair deal. Without a Kelly Blue Book for tickets, 12B dollars of tickets unsold, or priced incorrectly each year. Contender is a community-driven, event ticket marketplace that encourages buyers & sellers to agree on deals reflecting what a ticket’s really worth. The offer-based technology makes virtually every ticket on the secondary market negotiable, eliminating middleman, service fees, and speculative pricing. Users can expect to save roughly 25% to 45% from competitors such as Stubhub, Seatgeek, & Ticketmaster TM+. The site is live, generating revenue, and has acquired over $500MM of seller tickets, equaling 75% of StubHub’s total inventory. The company is raising a $750k convertible debt seed round, concentrating on building out the industry’s first mobile negotiation platform and consumer awareness.
