Anyone who has ever been in charge of organizing and managing ticket sales for anything larger than a 4th grade trumpet recital can tell you it’s a confusing pain in the arse. Now, move that process online, multiply the ticket buyers by a hundred and add in some government privacy protection laws and you’ve got a hot mess on your hands. Enter Ticketleap.com, the simple app for selling tickets online. Philly’s own Ticketleap.com has been making the ticket selling process easier for a couple years now and has recently expanded their services to the hugely popular social network website Facebook.com . I interview Chris Stanchak, founder of Ticketleap.com, to get an update on the Facebook App, why he started a company in Philly and how they’ll take on the ticketing giant Ticketmaster.
When you have a chance, check out Chris’s Top Ten Ways to sell more tickets.

Dave,
Great interview and good questions. Can’t wait to see more of these Philly success stories.
Great interview, Dave. I’ve been wondering about these guys for a while. Hope to cross paths with Chris and trade war stories soon.
Kudos!
Thanks Mark, we’ll have to figure out a way to get a bunch of Phillypreneurs in one place and tap the collaborative synergy in the near future!
Great interview!
It’s an interesting business model — charging the eventgoers but setting up the ticket sales for free for the event planners.
I’ve been to a few events recently where the online price was slightly more expensive than the at-the-event price. Now I understand why.
