Ticketing Agents
According to a December 15th, 2009 Morgran Stanley report entitled “The Mobile Internet Report”, mobile internet is “ramping faster than desktop internet did and will be bigger than most think”. They also state that within five years “users will likely connect to the internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs”. In fact, an executive from MLB.com expects mobile ticketing to account for 20% to 40% of the total of major league baseball sales in 2011 ( MLB sold 78.6 million tickets in 2008). According to Forrester, primary ticket sales already transacted in the US amounts to $22 billion dollars and secondary ticketing sales will grow at a 12% CAGR over the next five years, reaching $4.5 billion by 2012. Also, according to a North American Technographics Retail online survey, 12% of users purchased event tickets through their mobile phone. This was second to only digital content!
