The Problem

Ticket buyers frequently discover substantial service and convenience fees only near checkout, making advertised prices unreliable. Group organizers face an especially costly and time-consuming decision among online checkout, venue box-office purchase, memberships, and resale listings. Price changes and failed checkouts further complicate the purchase.

Potential Solution

Launch as a local concierge serving families, clubs, schools, and workplace outing organizers. For each request, the operator documents the all-in cost of available purchase routes, recommends the cheapest viable option, and can purchase or collect tickets from a venue box office with the buyer's authorization. The service charges a transparent flat fee and only recommends a paid membership when its total savings justify the cost.

Why Now?

Repeated complaints across movie and live-event platforms show that buyers remain sensitive to fees and distrustful of checkout pricing. The business can be validated in one city through manual comparison and box-office fulfillment before investing in broader productization.

Service fees The fact that you charge a service fee per ticket is crazy when it’s priced so high per ticket. You need to lower it or just do a one time fee.
