Insomniac

Broker-owned ticket exchange Ticket Evolution this week announced the hiring of its first employee with the company’s self-imposed deadline for raising $4 million only one week away.

Paul Harris, formerly a senior sales representative for TicketNetwork, was hired to be Ticket Evolution’s director of broker relationships, and he told TicketNews that he has also invested $10,000 in the new company to be one of its stakeholders.

“It would have been hard to try to talk brokers into making a commitment to this venture without having made one myself,” he said. Harris has more than 15 years of experience in the ticketing industry, building relationships along the way. “I think brokers feel they can trust me, and I hope to be able to build on that trust.”

His hiring, however, comes as questions swirl around the company as it relates to its financing and its chosen technology.

In a three-page letter posted on the company’s Web site yesterday, August 5, co-founder and President Ram Silverman reached out to an unidentified number of brokers who are “teetering on the fence” about whether to invest in the company. Speculation has spread through the secondary ticket industry that the company has not yet raised its total, which the letter would appear to confirm. TicketNews asked the founders how much the company has raised, but they did not respond.

“I have talked to a couple hundred brokers the past 2 weeks and for those of you who are waiting to see what the next broker is doing; I encourage you to take a small leap of faith and jump on our side of the fence. Please take a hard look at what your downside is and if you truly do not see the benefit or need for this exchange then don’t join. Change is going to happen with or without you!” Silverman wrote.

The company initially set a deadline of today, August 6, to raise the $4 million but extended that by a week to August 13. If the $4 million is not raised, the founders vowed to return all of the money to the investors.

On the technology front, the company is planning to use Amazon’s cloud computing option and the open-source Ruby on Rails platform, which it displayed to potential investors during a splashy presentation last month in Las Vegas. Yet, the company’s choice of technology is rife with questions about its security and other issues.

TicketNews posed several questions to the founders about their choice of technology, but those inquiries have gone unanswered. Drew Gainor, the former chief marketing officer at National Events Company who is now chief technology officer for Ticket Evolution, said he intended to respond to questions about the technology, but had yet to after several days.

Among the questions posed by TicketNews included:

-How will [Ticket Evolution] handle [Payment Card Industry] PCI compliance, and how will broker data be secured? Will you have access to their data and where/how they obtain tickets?
-Based on [TicketNews] research, [we] found that Twitter is only using Ruby on Rails (ROR) for its front end, but it has abandoned it for back end operations because of its limitations, slowness and lack of scalability. Does this alter [Ticket Evolution’s] perception of the platform, and/or what is [Ticket Evolution’s] opinion of Twitter’s decision?
-Which version of ROR will [Ticket Evolution] be using? 2.0 or 3.0?
-[Ticket Evolution] mentioned that the technology used by other [ticket] exchanges is dead or dying. Could you elaborate on that, and why ROR is better considering its limitations?
-Continuing with that line of questioning, what other high-transaction, e-commerce sites can [Ticket Evolution] point to that are using ROR for all of their operations, not just front end interface?

Earlier in the week, Steve Parry, one of Ticket Evolution’s founders, forwarded TicketNews a copy of a press release from the University of Texas Dallas about a research team from the university who are working on software applications to secure cloud computing operations. But, when asked whether Ticket Evolution had contacted the team about possibly using the applications, or whether those efforts met PCI compliance standards, neither Parry nor Gainor responded.

TicketNetwork is the parent company of TicketNews.

Presale Today

This story was updated at 8:12 p.m. EDT on Monday, August 9, 2010, to add a comment from Bill Peterson.

Just days before the self-imposed deadline Ticket Evolution set to raise $4 million, another broker-owned ticket exchange has emerged to challenge it.

Temporarily called “NewCo,” the new exchange is being developed by Chicago-based SeatExchange.com, and the founders have begun sending out invitations to select brokers to attend a launch meeting later this month. GoldCoastTickets.com is listed as one of the brokers expected to attend the meeting.

“On behalf of the new management team at Seat Exchange and our technology partner, we want to invite you to attend a meeting in Chicago, on August 24th to discuss a new entity under development – ‘NewCo’, and our vision for a broker owned exchange,” the invitation states. “The ‘NewCo’ Exchange is a technology platform delivering brokers a strategic approach to manage and market content online based on an SEO ‘first’ model. The “NewCo” management team is confident this solution will address the many issues and challenges facing the broker community today, while creating value in the future.”

The new venture is being spearheaded by SeatExchange principals Chris Brennan and Bill Peterson, who also said in the letter, dated today, August 9, they are requiring attendees to sign non-disclosure agreements before they will be allowed to participate.

“While we are all aware there are several individual or small groups of brokers attempting to create their interpretation of a broker owned exchange, our platform and strategy offers some key points of differentiation. Our meeting and discussion will focus on the following key areas: Technology; Broker Ownership & Participation; Value Creation,” the letter states.

Additional details about NewCo were not available. When reached by TicketNews, Peterson said he could not offer more information. “At this time, I can’t provide anymore details,” he said, but added that he and Brennan had spent several months developing the initiative and have talked to several brokers about it.

The announcement appears to have been timed to steal some thunder from competing broker-owned ticket exchange Ticket Evolution, which set a deadline of Friday, August 13, to raise $4 million from brokers – minimum investments are $10,000 each. Ram Silverman, president of Ticket Evolution, declined to disclose how much they have raised, or how many brokers have invested, but he said that “everything is going well” on the financial front.

But, whether Ticket Evolution reaches its goal, Silverman told TicketNews that will not matter.

“We’re moving forward regardless of the amount we raise,” Silverman said. “This company is moving forward.”

sign and help prevent the dirtiest of dirty tricks. ignoring the will of the American people. Seems to me the last one that did that was King George III in the 1700’s!

Bill –

The Left are planning to subvert the will of the American people. You have the power to stop them.

Leading Congressional Democrats are dead set on passing controversial and unpopular legislation in a special Lame Duck session of Congress after the November 2nd Election. It’s the only way Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi can succeed in advancing their unpopular agenda because they know they don’t have the support of the American people. Some will say we’re just trying to scare people, but look at what they’re saying:

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV): “We’re going to have to have a lame duck session, so we’re not giving up.”

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA): ‘A lot of things can happen in a lame-duck session, too.”

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA): “I have to tell you, [cap and trade] is not dead…if it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something.”

We know the Left are already planning dirty tricks. We saw it during debate of health care reform. We know they are willing to ignore the will of the people. They ignored the town hall meetings and the clear signal the voters of Massachusetts sent by electing Scott Brown and passed the health care bill anyway. And, just this week, 71% of Missourians rejected ObamaCare through a statewide voter referendum.

Given the Left’s track record during this current session of Congress, the American people have the right to know where their elected representatives stand.

At American Solutions, we’ve developed the No Lame Duck Pledge, and we’re trying to get as many citizens as possible to sign our letter urging members of Congress to pledge the following:

I, undersigned Member of the 111th Congress, pledge to the citizens of the State of ___________ I will not participate in a Lame Duck session of Congress. I believe reconvening the Congress after the November 2nd election and prior to the seating of the new 112th Congress, smacks of the worst kind of political corruption. Attempting to pass unpopular legislation subverts the will of the American people and is an abusive power grab.

I’ve signed the letter, and was hoping you’d sign your name as well so we can send it to your members of Congress. You can do that now by going here.

Sign-Your-Name

We believe this pledge will help stop the Left’s machine from passing the unfinished and unpopular items on their agenda.

Your friend,
Newt Signature

General Chairman

Credit card Fraud roundtable 2010 NATB Trade Show-additional points and tip

Hi,

Thanks so much for attending the July 17 3:45-5:00PM Roundtable discussion on credit card fraud. I did have some additional thoughts after some of you stopped by my booth after the discussion. Also attached is a cc author5zation form if you need one for your files.

If your current credit card processor does not get you a favorable result in a chargeback dispute

-you do have further rights. Make sure they follow up with a Prearbitration and if you lose that you can still go to Arbitration if the amount of the chargeback warrants it.

-some attendees mentioned that they have POS systems that aren’t showing them if AVS and /or CVV match. You can still see this info if you login directly into the gateway. You will need your login info & password. If you don’t have them call your POS provider and ask them to give you that info.

-if you have lost a chargeback (or even before) call the cardholder and tell them you will be filing a felony theft charge with the police. So far this has worked for my merchants very well. You should also tell them you are calling the security department of their credit card issuer. Most folks are terrifed of the embarrassment of having police come to their door and/or having their credit card cancelled.

-if all else fails for larger chargebacks I know a very effective man who was a supervisor for a large bank’s chargeback department. He has a photographic memory and intimidates most chargeback personnel he communicates with because of his superior knowledge of chargeback policies & procedures. His name is Bernard Klein of Transmedia 888-900-2001 http://tranmedia.com/
His email is bklein@tranmedia.com

If I can be of any further assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Beware of Costco’s ficticious low rates for credit card processing!

obviously impossible as those prices are below water so they downgrade every transaction to a much higher rate of well over 3% They even tell you so on your application. they have horrendous customer service as they of course aren’t the acquirer they go through the old Novus now Elavon and they get a kickback on the residuals. they also have a monthly minimum of $25 and a hefty annual fee over $100.

Below are just a few tidbits. Never ever refer a client of yours to Costco because you will wind up losing clients.

So we don’t forgot!

The Declaration of Independence

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of governments. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative Houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasion on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing taxes on us without our consent:

For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to ren-der it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in general Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliance, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
