All Websites in the Secondary Ticket Market are Not Equal, Says TicketNetwork^TM

Prices for World Series Tickets Vary by As Much as 10%

Vernon, CT – October 19, 2005 – Tickets to see the Chicago White Sox play in the World Series will not only be hard to get but will also require savvy comparison-shopping skills to afford. A review of ticket-broker websites reveals baseball fans could unnecessarily pay as much as 10% more for an already pricey seat at the Big Game if they aren't careful, says ticket sales company TicketNetwork^TM. With market demand for tickets driving up prices to new highs, consumers wonder how they can still afford to attend live events.

However, one online store – www.TicketLiquidator.com – is on a mission to provide cheaper access to Major League Baseball's premier event. Today the website posted prices for October 29 World Series tickets in the same section and row for less than two major ticket sources.

“All sites in the secondary ticket market are not the same. Some charge exorbitantly,” said Donald Vaccaro, president of TicketNetwork.com. “But the golden age of ticket pricing is over, because underlying market demand is still fair price. We focus on lower pricing, easy access, and security online.”

TicketLiquidator.com is powered by TicketNetwork Direct and is a TicketNetwork Direct Trusted Merchant.
