What’s a fair price for a ticket surcharge?

I came across an interesting graphical analysis published in Rolling Stone about ticket service fees from Ticketmaster and where the fees go.  The optics of these ticket fees are way out of whack – when you start calling something a “ticket fee” and it approaches 50-80% of the ticket...

The constant rain and mud didn’t stop the good times at Austin City Limits festival last weekend. It’s always great to see Master Tour in action, especially at such a huge event like ACL.

We met with customers Kings of Leon, STS9, Dave Matthews Band, Poi Dog Pondering, Citizen Cope, John Legend, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. It was encouraging to hear folks being so enthusiastic about the new Master Tour.  ”I love Master Tour, it keeps getting better every week” said Justin Bausch of STS9.

We also met with two great companies that offer excellent services to the touring world.  Access Passes and Road Rebel – check em’ out.

Live Event Computing in the Clouds

cloud computing

Our Master Tour software works both on and offline – a critical requirement for professionals on the road with intermittent Internet access.  So where is the “online” part of this?  Where is the server where your data is stored?  How secure is it?

You may be surprised to know that there actually is no real server – Eventric uses something called “Cloud Computing” to run all of the server based components of Master Tour, including the data from your Organization.  Wikipedia defines cloud computing as “a paradigm of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet”.  We define it as a smart move for us and for you so that we can concentrate on delivering great applications instead of worrying about servers 24 hours a day.

Basically, all of the physical components of the “computer” are all virtual – the processor, the disk space, the memory, etc. What this means to you is three things:  1) our servers don’t break down 2) we can click a button and upgrade any of the servers or components to make sure we have lightning fast response time for the software and 3) your data is safe and secure.  We use encrypted and secure methods over the Internet to access your data so that no hacker-wannabe crazed fan can access your itinerary or travel schedule.

Eventric partners with one of the largest cloud computing providers in the world, a company called Rackspace.  So rest assured that even if you spill coffee on your laptop or if our “cloud” burps up a disk drive, Eventric has got you covered 24/7.
