Trend Emerges In The Hard-to-Get® Ticket Market
BEVERLY HILLS, CA (May 3, 2005) – RazorGator, the leader in Hard-to-Get® tickets for sports, concert and theater tickets worldwide, reports 44% of Kentucky Derby tickets sourced through RazorGator’s service were bought as gifts. Although the Kentucky Derby isn’t until May 7, 2005, RazorGator clients began placing orders in July 2004. Almost half the consumers report they bought tickets as gifts for Christmas, Chanukah, anniversaries, birthdays and other gift-giving reasons. The Kentucky Derby ticket sales are one of many indicators that consumers are no longer just purchasing hard-to-get tickets for themselves, but are now giving them as gifts. RazorGator has observed this trend across many sold-out, high profile events like the Super Bowl, Final Four, World Series and U2.
“Our clients tell us it’s really about the experience and making a lifetime memory,” says David Lord, chief executive officer at RazorGator. “When it comes to eliciting an eye-popping reaction, nothing does it like a hard-to-get ticket.”
As an advocate for its clients, RazorGator’s 100% guarantee ensures that a client will receive the ticket he or she selected. If for any reason the client does not receive the tickets they ordered, RazorGator will immediately substitute a comparable or better ticket for the same market demand price or refund the client’s money. In a world where fraudulent tickets and scalping often leave fans in the lurch, RazorGator is the trusted connection fans deserve.
“I purchased Kentucky Derby tickets as Christmas presents for my two brothers,” says Susan Whitson, a RazorGator client. “They’ve always wanted to attend a Kentucky Derby and I wanted to make their dream come true. My whole family uses RazorGator to get tickets to sold-out sports, concerts and plays.”
“My Mom and Dad have always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby,” says Laura Lee McConnell, a RazorGator client. “We gave them tickets for their 50th wedding anniversary. I know it will be one of the greatest experiences of their life together.”
