Wikkit featured in GoMo News!!!

Earlier today GoMo News published a feature story about Wikkit and how Wikkit is bringing low cost concert and event tickets to venues, colleges, bars and restaurants across the country.

The article focuses on Wikkit's current "tickets via text message" service (which also includes free drink and VIP club admission promos that can be texted to almost any cell phone) and previews the upcoming integration of a social networking platform into the ticketing software (all using wikkits).

Highlighting the fact that Wikkit is about more than just wireless/mobile tickets and social networking, the GoMo News article also drops the word about the upcoming iTunes release of The Wikkit Song (A Wikkit Changed My Life) by Sticky Wikkit on iTunes later this month.

Ticketmaster still just doesn't get it

According to a post earlier today on Ticketmaster's blog (http://bit.ly/bmUIkC) --

"All of our conversations with fans like you tell us that the way we present these fees in the check out process is a huge frustration for you and hurts ticket sales. You just want to know UP FRONT in the buying process how much of your hard earned money you are being asked to pay for a given seat . . . The problem is that historically we haven't told you how much you have to pay for a given seat until very late in the buying process. And our data tells us this angers many of you to the point that you abandon your purchase once you see the total cost, and that you don't come back."

ARE YOU KIDDING TICKETMASTER? At least for this fan of live music (and the rest of us here at Wikkit), what people really care about are HOW MUCH we're being asked to pay in fees, not WHEN we're told about how much we're getting ripped off!!!
