April 2, 2009 at 22:39Idea for a startup.
I want to present my idea for a startup, suddenly it will be interesting to someone, or else there will be reasons not to bother about this (no one needs the service).
The idea is simple: sometimes it happens that when you buy a ticket for an event, whether it be a concert or a performance, you cannot go to it. What then do: they sell hucksters before the event directly, at a price lower than the purchase, and they drive it twice as expensive. Or they give it to someone from acquaintances (“God be upon you, that I do not care”). Or just leave to lie on the shelf, sighing about the missed moment.
All this long history is needed to present the idea of a startup: a site where you can quickly find buyers for such a ticket. And where customers can find last-minute tickets.
The main interaction between users is not supposed to be monetized - submitting an ad and responding to it is free. The parties “ticket buyer” and “ticket seller” themselves arrange a meeting and exchange material values. On the other hand, if one of the parties wants to avoid a personal meeting with the buyer / seller, she can take advantage of a “secure transaction” (a ticket is bought from the seller by representatives of the site and delivered to the buyer by courier). Something is supposed to be taken for such transactions.
So far, to be honest, I don’t see the target audience clearly, it’s not clear where to promote such a resource, and the methods of monetization are also not entirely clear (I think that you won’t get much from protected transactions).
I would like to know who thinks what about this.
