Rukkus is Acquired by TickPick, Which is Great News for Rukkus Fans

Hey there, Rukkus users! My name is Brett and I’m the Co-CEO of TickPick, the no fee ticket marketplace that is transforming the industry. We recently acquired a significant portion of the assets of Rukkus and are very excited by the opportunity to help you save money on your next ticket purchase.

We will be incorporating Rukkus’ high-definition 360-degree views of hundreds of sports and entertainment venues. As you know, these seat views provide prospective ticket buyers with the industry’s clearest and most dynamic preview of the actual event experience. The viewing solution is fully mobile optimized through the Rukkus app, and that technology will be integrated into TickPick’s platform and Mobile App. All users of the Rukkus app and website will be smoothly transitioned to TickPick for an optimal user experience.

So, what is TickPick all about?

Well, my college roommate (Co-CEO Chris O’Brien) and I saw inefficiencies in the ticket marketplace and decided to build a more transparent and cost-effective solution back in 2011. We don’t charge any fees for buyers, setting us apart from other exchanges that charge steep transaction fees (up to 25% in savings!).

We leverage algorithms to look at the price/value ratio for tickets, and then offer value grading for buyers so they can get the optimal experience for their money, all backed by the support of our world-class customer service team. Users can also bid on tickets in a process that is similar to financial markets, where supply and demand creates a more efficient marketplace.

As I said, we’re very excited by the opportunity to help you save on tickets to your next live event and are confident that you’ll thoroughly enjoy the experience.
