TicketIQ Teams Up with the Atlanta Journal Constitution

April 3, 2013

We have recently partnered with the Atalanta Journal Consitution. Here's part of an article from Media Post News discussing the partnership:

The Atlanta Journal Constitution, a Cox Media Group Company, will launch Tuesday AJC Tickets, a ticket commerce site for local buyers and sellers of Atlanta-based live events.

AJC co-branded the site with TicketIQ to offer tickets from PrimeSport, the Official Ticket Exchange of the Final Four, which gets underway this week, as well as TicketsNow, eBay and TicketCity. TicketIQ also works with Ticketmaster, Ticketfly and Veritix.

...

Research shows sports and entertainment as two of the top producing content segments on the site, according to Katie Tankersley, manager at ajc.com. She said the revenue sharing agreement aims to provide site visitors a service that will offer the best seats and price on tickets for Atlanta events.

"We know our readers come to the site for deals, and being a paper site, it's a natural fit," Tankersley said. "The best opportunity is to extend the deals for tickets into sporting and entertainment events."

...

Tankersley said the partnership goes beyond the co-branded ticket sales site and into content. The two built out an editorial calendar that offers readers stories on ticket sales, events and stats specific to the Atlanta market.

Jesse Lawrence, CEO and Founder of TicketIQ, said the platform incorporates social media and the ability to identify consumer markets for a specific sports team. "The idea is to drive page views for readers," he said. "We did an article on The Braves for them that got more than 500 shares."

From our standpoint, we couldn't be happier with the partnership and hope to bring their readers the best deals on all Atlanta-based event tickets.
