COMPANY OVERVIEW:
HiLo Tickets is an interactive auction-style market place for consumers to purchase tickets. In contrast to the traditional “bidding” sites for tickets where consumers place bids reflecting what they will pay, HiLo starts all auctions at one cent, and every time a bid is made, the auction increases by an amount between one and five cents. The site ONLY auctions off SOLD-OUT, high demand events, as opposed to dumping unsold inventory from teams that can’t sell out.
Users purchase bid credits before and during the auction. These credits allow the buyer to become the “high bidder” until they are outbid by a competitor. When the timer runs out, the “high bidder” wins the auction. The company estimates the final bid price for the tickets will be between 75% and 80% below face value.
In addition to this new style of ticket sales, the company also guarantees its customers a 100% refund of lost bids. If an individual spends $50 on an auction, uses all of his or her credits and does not win, the company provides the customer with a user-specific promotion code for he or she to use during check out from the site’s “Buy Now” market, which has more than $1 billion worth of ticket inventory to choose from. This code discounts the total price of the desired tickets by the $50 credit.
