Sportsbyline.com is the latest site to offer the LiquidSeats-powered service to its visitors, and joins existing LiquidSeats media customers such as The Seattle Times Company, Knight Ridder and Gannett Properties. Existing team customers include Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks and the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Clippers and Seattle SuperSonics.
Sports Byline USA StubHub is powered by the LiquidSeats Engine, a turnkey suite of software and services that provides a user-friendly interface and handles all transaction processing, logistics, customer service and payment processing. Sellers can post their tickets for sale in a fixed price or auction format. An automated e-mail notification system alerts interested buyers when tickets they request become available and ticket sellers when a buyer is interested in their specific tickets.
"LiquidSeats service is a perfect fit with sportsbyline.com," said Darren Peck, president of Sports Byline USA. "Devoted sports fans are always looking for a way to attend their favorite event, and LiquidSeats will help make that possible by giving fans access to tickets that are often not available."
"We are excited to have Sports Byline USA join the LiquidSeats network," said Eric H. Baker, President of LiquidSeats. "For years, it has not been an easy process for fans to buy and sell tickets in the secondary market. LiquidSeats changes that by making it easy for Sports Byline USA listeners to buy and sell tickets online."
Sports Byline USA is the latest media outlet to offer this online ticket marketplace system, which gives participating teams, audiences, venues and media outlets more control over the secondary ticket market, a market that is estimated at more than $10 billion annually. Existing LiquidSeats' customers such as Knight Ridder and Gannett have already seen the benefits of the revolutionary service.
Tickets from Sports Byline USA and other LiquidSeats network partners will also be available at LiquidSeats' central aggregation site, www.stubhub.com. People can go to www.stubhub.com to buy and sell tickets to their favorite live events throughout the country.
