Scoring Tickets to the Big Game
Nov 26
Two MIT students have created a stock market for sports tickets. The site features a real-time exchange where prices fluctuate just like on the New York Stock Exchange. The idea is that you can buy tickets to the big game, for less than face value, months before the game.
The site is designed for hardcore fans to get tickets to see their team in the big game. However, just like the NYSE there is also a trading aspect to the ticket market. Pretty impressive, right?
Gamblers and underdog (Cubs) fans beware: If your team does not make it, you lose your investment.
A great flash site and a very cool concept, IMHO:

Can you imagine selling Cubs World Series Tickets? If that ever happens again in our lifetime that will be some guy’s gold mine.
