So the 9:30 Club is changing it’s ticket company from Tickets.com to Ticket Fly. All shows from 1 Jan 2010 onward at the 9:30 Club will be using the new service for ticket purchases. What does this mean for you? I tried comparing the differences of the two from a consumer standpoint, and I didn’t find a whole lot to be excited about. I was hoping with a new ticket vendor maybe service fees would go down, but that doesn’t seem to be the case really. The first show at the 9:30 Club with tickets that will be sold by Ticket Fly is Gogol Bordello on Sat 2 Jan 2010. The cost listed on the 9:30 Club’s website is $30. Of course if you’ve ever bought tickets to a concert before the day of the show, you know the cost will actually be more due to various fees tacked on. To compare, I found a concert also for $30 at the 9:30 Club, but since it’s before Jan 2010, it’s still on Tickets.com. The show is Devendra Banhart (whoever that is) on Weds 25 Nov 2009. Ordering the $30 tickets through Tickets.com gave me a $6 “service charge” per ticket. They didn’t charge any other fees, but they do charge you $4 for mailing you the tickets, or for will call (yes, they charge you $4 to NOT mail your tickets to you). They do have 1 other shipping method, for $22.50 you can get FedEx shipping. It doesn’t say if this is 2 day, overnight or what, but for $22.50 it had better be delivered the next day in Megan Fox’s ass crack. Anyways, assuming you opted for the $4 shipping (or will call) that brings your $30 ticket to $40, a 33.3% increase (also known as: ridiculous). Did I mention that beers in the venue cost $7 before tip?!?! You can also pre-pay for their shitty parking service (another $10) for any show. This is retarded for 2 reasons: 1, you can usually find free parking on the street around there if ya look long enough. Secondly, they stop watching your car “15 minutes after the last song is played” but even that I think is bullshit as the last time I went there (to see Motörhead in September) I left right after the show ended and nobody was there watching the cars. And as a side note, Tickets.com also does this thing where they time how long it takes you to enter various info. If you don’t fill out your info on any particular page in time (and there’s several), they make you start the whole process over, which I find extremely annoying.

Now if you use the 9:30 Club’s new ticket company, Ticket Fly, to buy a ticket at the same list price of $30, you don’t really save any money at all, but there are a few differences. They charge you a $6 “service fee” per ticket again, and then on top of that a $4 per ticket “order processing” fee. It boggles my mind how these companies charge you for service and order processing when it’s a god damn website doing all the work for them. Do they need to pay it’s ridiculous overtime wages from it always working 24/7? Hell no, they just want to charge you more for them doing less, the fuckers. At least they don’t charge you for shipping (or will call, wtf Tickets.com?). They don’t have any other shipping options though, so no more Megan Fox’s ass delivery for 9:30 Club tickets. Awesomely they don’t have a timer on the site for how soon you need to buy your tickets in either. So your $30 ticket still costs $40 from them, they’ve got less shipping options but at least they don’t time your transaction either. Supposedly they’ve got some new “social media tools” for customers, which is just part of that annoying corporate marketing trend where every company wants us to promote them by posting their spam all over our Facebook and Twitter pages. According to the press release about the switch (you can read it here) this was a main factor in the switch. Fucking wow. I really wish it was cheaper for the customers though. With all the various ticket options popping up these days you’d think they could manage that. I guess you can always still buy tickets at the door ahead of time with cash. Of course, I found out when buying my Motörhead tickets that the 9:30 Club will charge you $1 per ticket for that too. No, I have no reason (other than greed) why they would charge you anything extra for buying presale tickets in cash, MOST clubs make presales a few dollars less. At least they’re not doing what DC9 is with their ticketing service…

DC9 has changed their ticketing service from Etix to the generically named Ticket Alternative (also used by the Black Cat and Rock & Roll Hotel). This change is actually going to cost the customer, aka you, more money. Currently, for a $10 ticket to a DC9 concert, Etix will charge you a $1.92 convenience fee. They don’t charge you for will call, but if you want the tickets mailed it’ll cost you $4.50 for a stamp and envelope. There are no other mailing options available. You can also buy a ticket at the door with cash and DC9 won’t charge you any fee, just the flat $10, though sometimes the day of show price is a few bucks higher than the presale, and sometimes they sell out. Still, it only brings the cost of the $10 ticket to $11.92, or 19.2%, if you buy your ticket ahead of time and choose the free will call option. Some shows on DC9’s calendar still use Etix, but all further shows to be added will be using Ticket Alternative. For a $10 ticket to a DC9 show from them, they’ll charge you a $2.73 fee. They do have many more options for ticket delivery, will call, print at home and standard mail all are free. They also have various forms of FedEx delivery, ranging in price from $13.50 for 2 day delivery to $35 for Megan Fox’s ass crack covered in honey delivery. Still, a 27.3% increase over list price is pretty steep for a small club like DC9. This means if you got the free will call option from either service, for a $10 ticket, Etix would charge you $11.92 and Ticket Alternative will charge you $12.73. Since Etix is being phased out, you don’t have a choice in the matter but to pay extra. Now, I know it’s less than a dollar increase per ticket, but still, when you go to a lot of concerts (like I do) it adds up, especially if you also find yourself buying tickets for other people a lot. Ironically, Ticket Alternative’s slogan is, “the cheaper way to buy tickets!”. Yeah right! I’m sure these changes are helping the clubs, probably costing them less to sell tickets than the previous companies were, I just wish there was someone trying to lower the fees tacked onto concert tickets for us, the customers.

Well, The Monster Ball turned out to be A MONSTER BUST… at least in Beantown.

For at least 40 minutes the services for buying tickets to Lady Gaga’s much hyped tour weren’t functioning at full capacity in the Boston area. Ticketing for the two-night event was routed through concert promoter Live Nation’s website.

When servers finally allowed purchasing, all that was left for the most part were balcony seats in rows X, Y and Z ..W, T and F.

LiveNation & Co. has some serious ’splainin’ to do!

Traian Basescu are insomnii ,este tot mai tensionat ,iar tremurul mainilor ,abia daca il mai atenueaza cu cateva sticle de alcool ,care ii inunda creierii zilnic.

E drept ca ne-a demonstrat ca a citit si altceva ,decat etichetele sticlelor de bauturi, atunci cand ,preocupat de starea jalnica a poporului ,caruia i-a facut urari de bine, s-a infiintat intr-o emisiune de divertisment ,unde a facut dovada calitatilor sale de bufon ,recitind o compozitie in versuri, precum cele scrise in oracolele scolare sau pe peretii toaletelor, care se sfarsea cu o floare pe mormantul maica-sii.Basescu ,bufonul ,a hahait ,a bocit,a uitat versurile ca mai apoi, in mod surprinzator ,sa si le aduca aminte si sa le redea cursiv ,in acest timp cand Basescu era bufonul micului ecran,mama acestuia ,care nu se afla nici pe departe in mormant, se afla internata la un spital iar a doua zi urma sa sufere o operatie ,deosebit de grea.Oare cui i se potriveste mai bine zicala :”Tara arde si baba se piaptana”?

Traian Basescu agonizeaza ,galopant,ca o furie nebuna.Este furia sfarsitului ,a sfarsitului total, al omului politic, Traian Basescu !

.

Dupa o noapte alba ,mahmur a navalit la un post national de radio preocupat mai mult decat de soarta maica-sii ,de soarta Elenei Udrea, in idiotenia sa, a capatat

un lapsus ,referitor la separatia puterilor in stat:cum sa soliciti tu ,presedinte de stat, ca o ticaloasa care a furat, sa nu fie pedepsita?Apropo:Udrea i-o fi scris, poezia?

Traficantul international, de armament ,Traian Basescu ,disperat, a aruncat in campania electorala ,paralela,pe care o desfasura ,asa ca o nada,un fel de „atentia la mine”, o gaselnita ,nu cea din urma,legalizarea prostitutiei si a consumului de droguri usoare.

Asta dupa ce ,ani in sir ,ca o mironosita,a pingarit biserici ,slujbele sale diavolesti au inlocuit pe cele crestinesti, tinute de preoti,asta dupa ce, in vazul presei ,a primit icoane care au aterizat, claie peste gramada ,in portbagajul prezidential…eu cred ca acolo au ramas:ce sa faca diavolul din Basescu cu ele ?

Ca si cand biserica, ar incuviinta ,aceste naravuri ,incurajate de tartorul Basescu,acesta s-a protapit la Targoviste , spre oroarea mea,la poze cu inaltele fete bisericesti…Deh,Dumnezeu vede,sfintite fete bisericesti !Asa i-am spus unui popa, caruia ii dadusem bani ,pentru biserica, si el isi schimbase limuzina.Dumnezeu sa-l ierte si sa-l odihneasca,a murit de tanar….

Diavolul are un nume:Basescu !

Oare traficantul international de arme ,are ceva droguri, din barter, in „stoc” si nu are piata de desfacere ,acum cand Viktor Bout e la racoare?Da,intr-adevar, Romania ar fi o piata foarte sigura…dar mai ales ,usor de controlat...,

Naravit ,sa apara la televizor,in aburii alcoolului ,in timp ce rememora maretul episod cu „322” ,a ticluit un alt rahat :referendumul pentru parlamentul unicameral.Basescu,proxenetul national ,avea reteta ,de fraudare a voturilor, de la acel referendum ,e drept ca mai apoi, ca si in privinta demisiei a intors-o „ca la Ploiesti”…

A fost oare ,o replica la cutezanta acelei comisii parlamentare, care i-a necinstit ibovnica, facand-o „hoata” ?…a fost o incercare de  deviere a atentiei publice, de genul diversiunii George Becali ,atunci cand Mircea Basescu gafase magistral ,pe posturile de televiziune ,cand acestea dezvaluiau matraplazlacurile:Mircea a furat si Traian a acoperit?Cam asa ,bine zice ,domnul Sorin Rosca Stanescu…

A fost un gest cavaleresc?…Bestia asta cu chip de om, chiar o fi indragostit nebuneste ?…Bine,bine ,dar „actele” nu se consuma in Notre Dame ,ci in Palatul Cotroceni?! Ah,e versiunea romaneasca?O.K!

Dupa inca o noapte alba, a aparut pe post si a incercat sa insufle curaj guzganilor portocalii ,tot mai agitati ,pe fiecare zi ce trece ,de certa scufundare a barcazului ,parca ar fi prima,mai sunt cel putin 50 de nave scufundate de Diavolul care (sac) ,a infruntat valuri de 16 metri si nu oriunde ci in…Atlantic (sarade de pirat).

A bantuit blogosfera ,preocupat ,bineinteles,de starea natiunii,de unde a ciupit un cuvant pe care l-a lansat, tot ca pe o sarada,a tinut sa gratuleze cu acest cuvant ,pe super ziaristul Sorin Rosca Stanescu(baiat de baiat),pe curajosul pilot si parlamentar Valentin Vasilescu si bineinteles ,…”tonomatele” lui Voiculescu,”mogulii” ,care nu mai contenesc cu dezvaluirile afacerilor murdare in care Basescu si membrii familiei sale ,amantele, sunt implicati pina la gat…pe linga cei gratulati cu acel cuvant,ma aflu si eu…soricelul care scrie,un ticalos care atenteaza la „onoarea de familist” ,a proxenetului national . Am facut pe mine,m-a luat tremuriciul ,am murit de frica,cand mi-am revenit am scris mazgaleala asta ,ca printre randurile ei ,sa cer:

Doamna Procuror General a Romaniei-Laura Codruta Kovesi,va rog din suflet ,scapati acest popor rabdator, de diavolul cu chip de om , Traian Basescu:

Declansati actiunea penala ,si implicit, urmarirea penala impotriva numitului Traian Basescu, in baza plangerilor mele , in special, in baza plangerii penale numita „Baltagul” cu numarul 922 ,a plangerii numita “Mafia-Traian Basescu traficant international” cu numarul 926,a plangerii “Betivan-Hitler-Basescu”  cu numarul 920,incetati va rog, cu musamalizarea dosarelor lui Traian Basescu si a tiitoarei sale Elena Udrea (poftiti numarul plangerilor scanat,in caz ca s-au pierdut pe acolo…)

plangere penala contra lui basescu nr.920 -betivan hitler basescu-(golden blitz-becali,tiganca imputita,gaozarule,etc)

plangere penala balatagul contra lui basescu

Ca un raspuns, pentru participarea partenerilor de coalitie ,la comisia parlamentara Vanghelie-Orban ,dupa ce s-a intalnit ,tete-a tete, cu Elena Udrea,Traian Basescu s-a napustit la Palatul Victoria pe inserat unde, Emil Boc, era cocotat pe scaunul de prim ministru al Romaniei ,sa il vada  maica-sa ,la Rachitele ,in televizor , se caznea ,din rasputeri, sa coboare, de pe scaunul atat de inalt.Emil Boc, ajutat de Basescu ,sa coboare,doar pentru moment,a avut o replica geniala :”Da Traiane,asta gandeam eu cand ai venit!”.Boc, se bucura in sinea lui, ca va fi inca un prilej ,ca  mama sa de la Rachitele, sa scuipe ecranul televizorului, de deochi.

Si-a luat incaltarile cu toc dublu, a tras de microfon in jos ,si a anuntat remanierea lui Dan Nica .A sunat,apoi, la Cotroceni si a intrebat:”A fost bine?”,i-a raspuns Basescu, fredonand:”Ce bine ne intelegem noi doiiiii!”

In fapt Dan Nica il speriase, de moarte ,pe Basescu si era exact cum bine a spus „calcase pe un musuroi de furnici” ,afacerile familiei Basescu,contrabanda cu produse petroliere ,a  unor lideri PDL de la Ploiesti ,dar mai ales cheia invincibilitatii basesciene: furtul electoral,votul cu autocarul si toleranta, interesata, a politiei, inregimentata politic.

Basescu radia,impiedicase cercetarea penala a Camilei Elena Udrea ,cea detinatoare de provizii electorale si erat tot timpul pe ecran ,a fugit la Cluj unde s-a prins in hora ,in timp ce tara pe care el insusi o incendiase,ardea dar nu foarte mocnit,beat a sunat manuitorii de sondaje si le-a cerut o facatura fulger:ii reusise !

.

Pasul la ofsaid facut ,de intreaga clasa politica, l-a intristat,in zadar a incercat sa dezbine si sa stapaneasca :toate partidele erau fripte,in zadar a incercat sa-l zugraveasca pe primarul Sibiului ca pe un naiv pacalit de opozitie:Johanis vazut de Basescu ca un posibil contracandidat in cursa electorala ,stie mai bine ca noi ,cine i-a plasmuit dosarele penale,oare de unde a tras Basescu concluzia ca nemtii,sasii,germanii sunt popoare sentimentale si naive?

 Sau el cunoaste alta istorie decat cea stiuta de Crin Antonescu, dupa cum devine si expert in vestimentatie capabil sa umileasca un reprezentant al minoritatii armene,unul din acei parlamentari neimbuibati care  alaturi de alti reprezentanti i-au dat „craci,” cum se spune pe maidan la fotbal, lui Basescu si nu au pus botul la cadoul din cocoasa Camilei Elena Udrea de 100000 de euro.

In timpul motiunii de cenzura,cinstitii parlamentari portocalii ii transmiteau live capcaunului „totul e ok”,in fapt asta este sfarsitul oricarui dictator: cand supusii il informeaza mincinos de teama represaliilor, ori bate un vant de Fronda in PDL?

Jos tiranul ,vivat  Patria!

Haideti !E timpul pentru „reconciliere nationala”,citat din Ion Ilici Iliescu.Nu stiti cum e cu dictatorii?Dictatorul si metresa si atat!

Apropo: imi place foarte mult numele dat de eruditul istoric,Corneliu Vadim Tudor,impotriva caruia am formulat si o plangere,impotriva omului politic si nu impotriva istoricului pe care il ascult cu placere chiar cand o ia razna,pentru ca ma distreaza,doamnei Roberta Anastase:”Girafa Muista”… Arata bine in timpul votului motiunii de cenzura…nu, nu a plans.Cred ca au plecat sa sarbatoreasca, doar Paleologu a fost atat de naucit incat a ramas pironit, gandindu-se la cariera sa politica ,care a inceput atat de bine si s-a curmat atat de brusc.Deh,daca te-a mincat in cur,vorba lui Dinescu:sa-l lingi in cur pe Basescu.Te-ai gandit vreodata fraierica, ca numele ,Paleologu este un blazon?

Oare cum o fi castigat asta titlul de Miss in dauna unor femei ca Andreea Marin sau Simona Patruleasa?Suspina saraca, pentru Basescu :cine o mai marita,acum?

„Prostanacul”-Mircea Geoana, este singurul parlamentar roman care a elogiat  ,in aula Parlamentului ,avand si ocazia sa aiba un discurs in calitate de presedinte a PSD,decernarea premiului Nobel ,presedintelui american Barack Obama.

Presedintele Basescu era preocupat de tiitoarea Elena Udrea, de modificarea constitutiei si nicidecum de elogierea presedintelui american Barack Obama ,de  revitalizarea economiei,iesirea din criza sau de creearea de noi locuri de munca.

Deh!Nimeni nu-i ca …Bush!

Placinta Constantin zis Titi,procuror din Ploiesti,celebru prin cazul Viorica Visan trimisa dupa gratii nevinovata 10 ani ,prin cazul Dinu Patriciu unde a facut presiuni asupra procurorilor care instrumentau dosarul in calitate de inspector CSM si sluga a lui Traian Basescu,precum si cazul meu, unde din partea vatamata si petent m-a transformat in infractor ,refuzand sa solutioneze in mod legal o plangere formulata pentru inselaciune pe file CEC in valoare de, aproximativ, 29 miliarde lei vechi ,la nivelul anului 2001-2002 ,doldora de bani,cu conturile pline si zeci de proprietati s-a pensionat.

Este acum un avocat care conduce ,alaturi de fosta procuroare Buliga Georgeta ,morisca spagilor din justitia prahoveana,daca vreti: un centralizator al spagilor.

Pe site-ul avocatului Placinta Constantin se regasesc, in portofoliul de clienti, foarte multi din cei care au primit NUP-uri in anii sai de glorie.Desi nu stapaneste nici o limba de circulatie ,clientii sai sunt din USA,ISRAEL,cel putin asa se lauda ,poate si dl Haysam.

Se pare ca  in urma anchetelor declansate impotriva acestuia,Placinta Constantin  s-ar fi mutat din satul Paulestii Noi in Ploiesti in locuinta care figureaza pe numele ginerelui sau Andrei Volosevici,primar al Ploiestiului.De asemenea se pare ca Placinta Constantin si-a distrus prin incendiere una din vile situata ,parca,in localitatea Varbila sau Varbilau, pentru a incasa polita de asigurare ,ca alternativa la scaderea dramatica a preturilor investitiilor imobiliare.

Constantin Placinta si Andrei Volosevici –primar al Ploiestiului ,au intrat in mod fraudulos ,prin interpusi in posesia stadionului „Ilie OANA” respectiv clubul „FC Petrolul”,in realitate stadionul si echipa a intrat in posesia unor vecini din Paulestii Noi ,cu care Placinta si Volosevici deruleaza diferite afaceri,sau asociati ai acestora.Prin aceasta manopera primarul Andrei Volosevici urmeaza sa finanteze constructia stadionului Ilie OANA,bani care ajung tot in administrarea lui Constantin Placinta si Andrei Volosevici prin interpusii protapiti in conducerea clubului ,care fac parte din anturajul procurorului Placinta si al fostului avocat Andrei Volosevici.

In aceasta vila locuieste, actualmente, primarul PDL al Ploiestiului ,Andrei Volosevici,urmatoarea vila este a antrenorului Valeriu Rachita,ambele filmate din elicopter,ambele in comuna Paulesti.Pina ca Volosevici sa devina primar ,in aceasta casa a locuit procurorul Placinta Constantin,in urma scandalurilor acestia au facut rocada:Placinta locuieste acum in Ploiesti in casa lui Volosevici.Printre vecinii lui Volosevici,proprietarul hotelului”Turist”,un anume Tilimpea…

Sumele de bani virate de la primarie ,de catre Andrei Volosevici, urmeaza sa fie folosite in campania electorala a lui Traian Basescu

Linia de tramvai din cartierul Democratiei nu a fost scoasa conform promisiunilor electorale facute cetatenilor din acest cartier.Iar stadionul „Ilie OANA” arata la fel desi a trecut mai bine de un an.

Tot ce a facut acest betivan de primar, numit Andrei Volosevici,client fidel al restaurantului frecventat in majoritate de drojdieri „Dealu MARE” ,unde bea ca un cretin alaturi de Dragos Patraru,a fost sa puna niste ghivece cu flori si sa apara la TVR 1 sa lalaiasca despre transportul in comun din Bucuresti,plin de o prosteasca ingamfare,despre Ploiesti,mai nimic,parca incerca sa zica:”M-ai vazut Basescule,am vorbit la Tvr,flutura drapelul porcaliu!”

Se pare ca la TVR intr-o anumita functie de conducere exista o fosta absolventa a liceului CD GHEREA Ploiesti,liceu absolvit de altfel si de Dragos Patraru,care in epoca era renumita prin harul de a scrie dar si prin bolile venerice pe care le raspandea,potrivit unuia din scriitorii prahoveni contemporani.

Andrei Volosevici a ajuns primar prin mita electorala.Mai exact,prin intermediul lui Iulian Badescu director la Republicanul a cumparat tacerea ,presei locale,cel putin trei persoane au fost cumparate in campanie din care amintesc doua:Dragos Patraru,Iulian Badescu,al treilea se stie si nu merita.

Privilegiile cu care au fost mituiti cei doi sunt:

• Iulian Badescu,consilier al primarului Andrei Volosevici,senator PDL,director televiziune locala,
• Dragos Patraru,consilier al primarului Andrei Volosevici,director televiziune locala,

 Dragos Patraru ,care are in permanenta chifla in gat ,stie sa rada de bietul C. Anghelescu de la Alfa Tv ,ca sperie platourile la conferintele de presa organizate de cluburile de fotbal.L-ai vazut tu?Patrarule nu toata lumea maninca pe la restaurante santajind ca  va scrie de rau.

               La cata mita iei, trebuia sa denunti la televizor medicul care te-a operat?Asta n-o face nici ultimul jeg,esti un rahat!

               In schimb ,ii dau dreptate lui Rachita Valeriu, si il cred ca e posibil ceea ce reclama ,el stie bine ce spune pentru ca acelasi lucru il faceau, Cristi Colonelu,Bogdan Cont,apropiatii sai, cand invatau galeria sa scandeze:JOS EUGENIU GOICEA!…se intampla acum…

               Ei dar alea sunt alte vremuri ,vremea cand jucatorii Petrolului isi permiteau sa vanda meciurile, fara stiinta presedintelui de club,sau vremea cand presedintii de club vindeau meciuri fara stiinta echipei sau cumparau arbitrii cu sau fara stiinta echipei.

 De ce imi miroase mie ca: Volosevici si Placinta au pus umarul la santajarea lui Penescu intocmai ca Elena Udrea in cazul Becali si ca eliberarea acestuia s-a facut in urma platii efectuate catre Traian Basescu prin intermediarii Placinta Constantin si Andrei Volosevici?

               Penescu a fost pus in libertate la Ploiesti, imposibil ca Placinta Constantin sa nu fi pus botul:o nora judecatoare,alti zeci de procurori si judecatori prieteni…..

 Primarul PDL al Ploiestiului,Andrei Volosevici,fost avocat,socrul sau Placinta Constantin,procuror la acea data,Buliga Georgeta prietena intima a lui Placinta sau “tiitoare”,procuror la acea data,dansand vals,french can-can,in aplauzele unei asistente dar mai ales ale lui…Volosevici,este daca vreti..”mercurialul spagilor din justitia prahoveana”..

 Aici il avem pe procurorul general adjunct al Romaniei Nita Tiberiu Mihail,inlantuit de procuroarea Buliga Georgeta intr-un sirtaki al spagilor ,pardon intr-un mercurial al spagilor la nivel national.O fi incasat Basescu bani de la Becali si Penescu?Sigur ca da ,altfel de ce i-ar fi arestat matrozul chior?Alaturi de Buliga se afla finii acesteia care se ocupa de cumpararea imobilelor la pret de nimic scoase la vanzare de judecatorie si bineinteles clanul Placinta,care nu apare in video,acum.SECIU-PRAHOVA.

Apropo de lins in cur la Basescu:Andrea Pora ,Alina Mungiu Pipidi,Radu Morar sunt lideri.Andreea Pora sau „de ce ai dintii atat de albi,domnule castor?” dupa ce arunca tone de scuipati ,dupa ce indruga verzi si uscate despre servicii si agenti reactivati sa-i curme lui Basescu zborul, mai nou a devenit si bufon al emisiunilor in care nu e lasata sa debiteze ineptiile si sa practice linsul in cur de Basescu.Ma scuzati ca folosesc acest termen neacademic ,il folosesc cu placere fiind imprumutat de la Mircea Dinescu, care intr-adevar a inceput sa mai recite si cate o poezie :”cat o ai?”

Dintr-un butoi de mari dimensiuni mai razbate ,din cand in cand,un panseu al voluminoasei Pipidi,luptatoarea impotriva interzicerii avortului,nimfomana saraca.

La Radu Moraru,la „Nasul” intra si ies cand vor si cum vor alde Basescu,alde Udrea ,alde Talpes,alde Boc,mai ceva ca TVR –ul pe timpul lui Ceausescu.Nu ti-e rusine,mai Radule,esti un baiat de treaba ce te prostituezi atat?Lingi in cur la Basescu?Mingi ridicate la fileu,osanale…ma uitam cu placere la tine…

La „televiziunea poporului”, OTV se simte din plin infuzia de capital portocaliu de la Locic si Emanoil Savin-primarul Busteniului,sunt vreo doua trei personaje pe acolo care de dimineata pina seara il ling pe Basescu in cur,una stiu sigur ca e finantata de Locic si Savin si in mod probabil si ceilalti.Murfatlarul apartinea unuia Samson cununat de Ioana Basescu si prieten cu Emanoil Savin?Si Virgil e pe acolo zici?Basescu,chiar?Tot pe acolo isi face veacul si unul  numit Sima, care se da drept discipol al lui Ovidiu Ioanitoaia,acum zice-se la o fituica „Ziarul”despre care un bun prieten al acestuia,din Ploiesti ,povestea ca-i cam place sa fie sechestrat si plimbat in portbagajul autoturismelor, atunci cand mai ticlueste cate o escrocherie.

Oricum il felicit pe Dan Diaconescu pentru ca a reusit sa-si indeplineasca visul si a scapat de „garsoniera” si am observat,asa,prin decor ca i-a priit colaborarea noastra.Sa fie intr-un ceas bun!

Suparati ca antrenorul nationalei Mircea Lucescu ,absenteaza in mod nemotivat de la serviciu, dand instructiuni prin telefon ,unuia care se pare ca ar fi de profesie „bucatar”, deci nepriceput la fotbal dar care „bucatar” e fiul sau…Adrian Mutu,Chivu si Mircea Sandu ,in mod gratuit sau nu, au hotarat ca trebuie sa ajute prietenii ,francezi sau sarbi, oferind :libera trecere.Merci,Monsieur Platini!

Gheorghe Hagi a declinat oferta de Presedinte al FRF in favoarea cumnatului sau Gheorghe Popescu.Nu-i acelasi lucru:Hagi e Hagi!

Nu, nu am fantezii erotice cu doamna procuror general a Romaniei, Laura Codruta Kovesi,nu sunt Irinel Columbeanu si nici dansa nu e Monica,desi daca ar fi sa aleg intre Roxana Ciuhulescu si Laura Codruta Kovesi ,as alege-o pe Laura.Si-a schimbat look-ul,hainele ii vin mai bine…de ce o aleg pe dansa?Suntem doi practicanti al aceluiasi sport de echipa:baschetul,mama, mama ce criscrosuri….bineinteles unul fara performante notabile, iar celalalt de lot national…acum imi dau seama de ce nu m-a impresionat fostul procuror Botos…ce am eu in comun cu un karatist?!

Nu cred ca a avut o legatura intima cu Johanis ,si daca a avut care-i problema?La inaltimea dansei poate sa aleaga mai greu.

Felicitari pentru reinvestire:ii luam si noi piuitul traficantului international Traian Basescu sau ne tinem de scaun?Dumneavoastra ,spre deosebire de Emil Boc, puteti ajunge la orice scaun… 

Pentru cei care il slavesc pe Basescu ,redau urmatoarele,ca un raspuns la afirmatia fostului Ministru de Interne ,Dan Nica  ,ca Basescu pregateste fraudarea alegerilor.

BASESCU A CASTIGAT REFERENDUMUL PRIN FRAUDA ELECTORALA, PRIN VOT CU AUTOCARUL!

Ma aflam intr-un sat inaintea referendumului de demitere al lui Basescu.Pentru a dezlega limbile satenilor crispati in fata camerei de luat vederi,am impartit cateva pahare la birtul satului si ca un preludiu ,fara nici o legatura cu ceea ce aveam ca obiectiv,le-am propus o tema la care toti „morometii” stiam ca vor percuta:

„Pe cine vreti presedinte!”

Memorabila a ramas replica unui satean care in timp ce isi sampona si lustruia limuzina de culoare albastra,spunea:

„Eu sunt comunist,il votez pe Mircea Geoana!Adicaaa,nu ca Mircea Geoana e comunist dar eu asa simt: il votez pe Mircea Geoana!”

Morometii mei insa il injurau de mama focului pe Basescu si nu atat de mult pe Basescu cat pe Elena Udrea.Am cenzurat cat am putut:cum sa-i stric imaginea luptatorului cu balaurii coruptiei?In sinea mea le dadeam dreptate satenilor si eu eram scarbit ,cate unul care ma stia ma intreba :mai crezi in Basescu?De unde sa stiu eu ca Basescu era in realitate protectorul coruptiei?

Aparitia lui Cosmin Gusa,pardon a generalului Iulian Vlad,in piata Universitatii unde Traian Basescu si ficele sale schelancaiau m-a convins sa ii dau votul.Am uitat de injuraturile taranilor ,m-am gandit:ce stiu taranii despre jocurile la varf .Am fost printre primii care i-am dat votul pina atunci nu avusesem lipici la urna,nu mai votasem niciodata.Lumea nu se inghesuia.

Mi-am pavazat magazinul cu mecla lui Basescu,am impartit fluturasi portocalii,am organizat promotii,i-am facut publicitate electorala in presa locala.

In ziua referendumului cineva de la unul din ziare mi-a adus factura la plata.

Dupa ce i-am achitat mi-a lansat o invitatie care m-a pus pe ganduri :

„-Mergeti cu noi?””   -Unde?”am intrebat,   „-Domnul Emanoil Savin a organizat?”

„-Ce?”   „ Mergem cu autocarele prin tara sa votam!”   „A,nu,nu pot sa las magazinul!”

Am ramas muncit de ganduri,impingand la frigidere si in urechi imi razabateau franturi din discutiile trecatorilor care se postau in fata magazinului si spuneau:”Ne-am pacalit cu asta,nu-l mai votam,numai rau face!”.

Erau multi, iar eu cam singurul fraier care imi pavazasem magazinul cu mecla lui Basescu.Eu care am fost la vot, nu mi-am explicat niciodata de unde capatase atatea voturi …

Cum lupta asta impotriva coruptiei ,cand el insusi fura voturi cu autocarul ?

In tot acest timp, Romania a fost izolata pe plan international,Asta dupa ce Adrian Nastase,Mircea Geoana,Emil Constantinescu au construit ani la rand in politica externa, ca  matrozul necioplit,Basescu ,sa culeaga roadele la inceputul mandatului.

Azi, Traian Basescu nu e primit la nici o masa din vreo capitala civilizata ,poate doar in Siria unde s-a ocupat personal de soarta lui Omar Haysam.

.L-am vazut alergand, buimac ,dupa presedintele american,Barack Obama, atunci cand trebuia sa se comporte altcumva,( asa abordezi un lider influent ?)ca mai apoi sa fie imbrancit de presedintele italian Silvio Berlusconi, cand l-a calcat, ca un mojic ,pe bombeu.

”Sa traiti bine!” a insemnat binele lui ,al familiei sale si al amantelor protapite in pozitii cheie ale statului si falimentul a sute de mii de firme ,niciodata nu a existat o nemultumire sociala mai  mare in Romania si un nivel de trai mai scazut!

A trecut referendumul.Basescu a uitat sa vina in Piata Universitatii la raport asa cum promisese,a fost cel mai prost presedinte pe care l-a avut Romania!

O cacealma de presedinte: o pata pe obrazul Romaniei!

Pravalia mea cea, cu mecla lui Basescu pavazata , am inchis-o,intreaga Romanie este in faliment!

Nu trebuie sa ii mai permitem lui Basescu sa ajunga presedinte prin frauda electorala!

E timpul sa-i inchidem definitiv pravalia lui Traian Basescu !

Maximising Revenue from Ticketing and Crm

We announced some pretty cool news this morning. We’ve joined forces via a strategic partnership with Knoxville-based Eventbooking.com to offer an integrated event management, booking, and ticketing solution to venues nationwide.

What really excites me about this news is that this is, I feel, an example of how the industry will eventually displace Ticketmaster’s stronghold:  smaller, more innovative (and hungrier) companies uniting to deliver compelling value via integrated solutions.

As for EventBooking.com, our strengths are 100% complimentary. No one does venue management and booking better than they do, and no one does ticketing better than we do. What is ultra cool is the way this partnership came about – the EventBooking CEO actually bought a ticket to a TicketBiscuit powered event, and was so impressed with the experience that he contacted us and made it happen.

The full release is below, just in case you’re interested. Can I get a “hell yeah”?

October 15, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EVENTBOOKING.COM ADDS TICKETING THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH TICKETBISCUIT

EventBooking.com signed a partnership contract with TicketBiscuit this month that will add a robust ticketing capability to EventBooking’s industry-leading event management and booking software solution.

TicketBiscuit serves more than 250 clients in 400+ venues across the United States with a web-based solution that lets the venue control the fees and own the ticketing process. CEO Jeff Gale says TicketBiscuit’s mission is to provide “the most flexible, powerful, and user-friendly ticketing solution on the planet.”

The software integration of EventBooking.com and TicketBiscuit allows participating venues to track real-time ticket sales while logged in to their booking calendar.

President and CEO of EventBooking.com John Platillero said that offering clients an integrated solution is part of the EventBooking.com strategy.

“EventBooking.com wants to offer a ‘dashboard’ of information from all different areas of the venue. Integrating a ticketing solution makes sense so that in real-time, from the calendar itself, a venue can know how ticket sales are doing for each show.”

Platillero added that the ticketing software from TicketBiscuit can be private-labeled “however the venue wants to brand their ticketing system,” giving more control to the venue.

Both EventBooking.com and TicketBiscuit are excited about the value that the partnership can bring to one another’s clients.

EventBooking.com’s booking software scales from one-stage clubs to entire city entertainment districts using a single booking account. EventBooking.com’s flexible new program accommodates the different booking styles of single-stage arenas and multiplex convention centers.

TicketBiscuit‘s full-service ticketing solution combines box office software with a comprehensive package of ticket sales and marketing services. Since their inception in 2001, the company has pioneered several innovations in ticketing, including client-controlled fees, client-branded call centers, full website integration, mobile ticketing, and social media marketing.

“TicketBiscuit itself is a company that has proven technology and is excited about working with us to develop an integrated solution for their clients and ours,” Platillero said.

The partnership between EventBooking.com and TicketBiscuit began with a good experience. Platillero purchased tickets online for a benefit dinner at a local comedy club in Knoxville using TicketBiscuit. The ticket purchase went smoothly, and after reading about the company at http://www.TicketBiscuit.com Platillero contacted them as a potential partner.

I know, I know… it’s getting colder, and the rain is starting, and I shouldn’t be happy about that, but I really am!  The leaves are changing colours.  I can walk through leaves falling from the trees like rain.  And even when it actually rains, and the leaves on the ground start to melt, you get a beautiful ochre paste coating the sidewalks.  The crispness of the air means bigger coats, maybe even mittens and scarves.  Everything is changing with season, and for me, the most exciting sensation is the excitement of the Olympics growing with the cooling air.

Today’s most exciting news is about tickets!!  The third and final phase of ticket for the Olympics and Paralympics starts on November 7th at 10am (Pacific Time).  This ticketing phase is for Canadian residents.  However… if you are a Canadian resident there will be a lot of tickets available!  There will be more than 100,000 tickets available to Olympic events in the city!  Plus thousands of tickets for Paralympic events!  So get registered if you aren’t already (and I’ll tell you why you should be in a minute, but don’t wait, take my word for it and register now!!).

More exciting news!  If you live (primary or secondary home) between Squamish and Mt. Currie you count as a local and you get to buy tickets to events in Whistler!  But it’s one weekend only!  So you need to register before 7pm October 23rd and purchase your Whistler Olympic tickets between October 24 at 10:00 am to October 25 at 5:00 pm for events at Creekside, the Sliding Centre and the Olympic Park.  Plus, if you’re fast, when you buy tickets you’ll get two tickets to a Whistler Victory Ceremony.  The small(-ish) print is that these tickets are not eligible for the Olympic Bus Network (hence Locals only) and are not re-sellable on the fan-to-fan marketplace that will be launched later in fall.  Check out the rest of the info here.

And last (and to my thinking best of all) if you are a Vancouver 2010 ticket account holder then you can take advantage of an offer to purchase individual day passes for Molson Canadian Hockey House!!!  So far only 4-day passes have been available.  We signed up for a one-day ticket for 4 people today!  I really, really can’t wait!  It’s going to be an insanely good day!  Woohoo!  I can’t wait for 40-foot big screens.  Maybe we’ll even get hockey trivia! That would be cool, though I suspect I would suck terribly compared to a lot of Canadian Hockey Fans!  Woohoo!

Other news today was the announcement of the second phase of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Transportation plan.  Honestly, I haven’t read it yet.  I should have, but I haven’t.  So I will by tomorrow and will report things of interest.  Though I expect a heck of a lot to be said before I write tomorrow, so I’ll keep my ears open and say something interesting about it all.  I guess I’ve just been anticipating walking or taking transit everywhere during the Games so I’m not too perturbed about the announcement.  But I know not everyone feels this way so I will report!  Gotta know what’s happening in my home! 

So, today’s take home message is to sign up for a ticketing account!  All sorts of excitement will come of it!

Oh, and don’t forget to make a suggestion for my ‘100 days of 2010vanfan’ contest (scroll down to the bottom of the post)!  I have not had one single entry so far and I have a Vancouver 2010 Pin Album up for grabs for the best suggestion!  So far I get to keep it for myself, and while I would like one, I’d love to hear from all of you more!

The temporary Vacations’ Site is now passing all ticketing information correctly.  After launch, there were a few smaller issues to attend to. As of this morning, the information is passing cleanly throughout the entire back-end build and all customer-facing elements.

Yet another imposition on the Real and True American taxpayer.

Beginning in January of 2010, when you purchase an airline ticket, there will be a $2 question.

“Would you like to donate $2 to help fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in Africa”?

Answer: “I decline”!! No!! Absolutely not!! Forget about it!!

Why in the world would we, as Americans, donate to countries whose only purpose to existence is to thrive from handouts and forced pity. The African continent is about as useful as AIDS. Pun intended!!

No morals!! No ethics!! No self honor or dignity!! No responsibility!! No effort!! No intellect whatsoever!! Certainly no global purpose except to deprive others of their hard earned money, prosperity and National Security.

They created their lifestyle, not Americans..

The so-called groups of self proclaimed Not For Profit “agency” fame are nothing more than “do unto others as they would do unto you” bleeding hearts of meaningless propaganda. The difference being that America has never been paid back much less offered anything in lieu of. Has anybody “done unto” the United States of America? Then again, what would these third world countries have to offer?

Has anybody come to the aid of the United States, ever?

NO!!!!

Only have our TRUE allies spilled blood with us and for us on the battlefields of history for freedom, democracy and prosperity which by the way, Americans have to work and sacrifice long and hard.

Don’t talk the “God says” crap as a niche to get American taxpayers to give up one hard earned penny. The US Government ALREADY gives aid to these useless earth goer’s and undeniably so.

Don’t show the poor little kid who has a bunch of flies hanging around their lips and face. I could care less!!  Because these countries abuse and swindle American taxpayer dollars and have no clue as to what to do with the money, don’t look to the American taxpayer for a fly swatter. They, the African people, get what they get and it’s that simple. And any other country for that matter.

There are millions of American kids who are FORCED to go without because some idiotic bleeding heart group or individual wants to “buy” his or her way into the heaven. You know, manipulate their way.

Third world countries and big business reap the rewards while the American taxpayer gets spit on. Literally!!!

Folks and families who travel on airlines nowadays, are already pushing pennies for fuel, better seating and baggage services.

This is supposedly a worldwide effort and only because government aid to these poor countries has been minimized due to the financial mess we are in.

Here is an idea, how about those who are fond of international aid such as the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation write the checks on their dime, not the Real and True American. These two foundations are big on foreign aid so let them handle it.

This whole idea came about due to the thought process or ideology of an unnamed United Nations agency.

United Nations. Does that sound like a fraudulent pity whine to you?

After being formally announced on September 23, at the UN General assembly, British P.M. Gordon Brown and the head of the world bank, Robert Zoellick along with chief executives of Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport/Galileo, representing the worldwide ticketing and reservation systems, said ‘barring any last minute legal glitches, the “scheme” will roll out in late January of 2010″.

Agencies like UNITAID and the World Health Organization are pillars behind this idea and want more private donations even though they have an annual operating and “hand out” budget of $400 million not including the money from the American taxpayer. Ironic isn’t it? American tax dollars are not even added to the budget and the reason for this is that the UN doesn’t want Americans to realize their input and how great it is.

Now the funny and odd part. UNITAID will collect the money and give it to “key” players such as “medical assistance” personnel headed for Africa and other “poor” countries. Surely food and dinnerware are included.

How about another question?

Why do those who supposedly “volunteer” to do this “good deed”, get to fly at the “donors” expense?” Why don’t they fly on their dime? What’s fair is fair. We donate the dough, volunteers donate their own airfare.. Sensible, but considering the racket, what else to expect?

On top of UNITAID handling and “distributing” the money, they will give more money to UNICEF and the Clinton foundation.

Remember a while back, Obama said part of the Healthcare bill would include money for other countries to help with “abortion” issues? Well, parts of the “donated” money are earmarked for these third world countries to “improve” maternal health and to reduce child mortality.

Here is the 2+2 for logic and common sense sake. American taxpayers will not only be FORCED to give through their hard earned tax dollars, but also be asked to donate more when we fly.

No polls. No statistics. No rhetoric. No beating around the bush.

Again, it is what it is. And if that doesn’t help you understand the UN and US racket, maybe this will.

The UN openly stated “that if the “plan” works, it will help the UN out of a dilemma of its own making”. If it created the dilemma, then why must the American tax payer bailout the world AND its own country in the same decade? This is like paying al Qaeda to stay fit.

For decades, the UN and other countries including obviously the United States, have been trying to wipe out poverty, illiteracy and disease in these toilet bowls of earth. Since 2000, world governments have promised $150 billion but ONLY $104 billion has been deposited. This is just a stab in the dark here,but one can logically and with 100% assurance state without a doubt, that the good ole US of A can account for at least 60 – 70% of the already received money.

According to the UN and UNITAID, only 5% of the money donated will account for administrative costs.

Yeah, and WE FULLY SUPPORT OBAMA and his “AGENDA”!!! Better yet, I want socialized medical care. (I’m kidding!!)

5% of the “only” $104 billion already donated is approximately a conservative $5 billion after “figuring” expenses. What administrative efforts cost $5 billion?

Administrative costs:

Kickbacks. To the travel agencies and airlines who partake?

Tide overs.

Pay outs.

Extortion. In the legal form.

Cars. Homes. Yachts.

“Redistribution” – sound familiar? Only now it is “global” redistribution to people who deserve nothing more than a porta potti, if that.

Gordon Wilson, the CEO of Travelport GDS, Galileo and Worldspan said ‘the overall response is that it makes people feel good about travel but also embraces responsibility”.

You son of a puke, who the hell made you the god of responsibility? Don’t tell us what is responsible and what isn’t.

I am responsible without having to “give” you and the world money for nothing. If my feeling good is based on the premise that $2 bucks is going to help a “cause” or “racket” while alienating my wishes of a good and safe flight to be with my family, then I’ll walk or drive. Then again, I can reserve with Amtrak.

Folks, the red flag should go up based on that comment alone.

Embrace responsibility!! I have more responsibility in my sleep than this Wilson marketeer. His business equals his money.

Between this Wilson freakshow and the UN, I wouldn’t give a penny.

America and the Real and True Americans are my concern, not the UN, it’s subsidiaries, big business or thieving scoundrels.

I guess money does grow on trees.

In America!!!!

In my yard, if I did have a money tree, I would be sure of my family’s health and safety first and foremost and never think about those who have not earned what I built and/or created. I took the RESPONSIBILITY and all the pain and suffering that goes along with it..

Don’t get caught up in the global or American socialization of your family or the future.

America, first AND last!!!!!!

To hell with all that matters none!!

America, STOP giving except to yourselves, family and friends. It’s not greedy or stingy or anti religious but it is your right to prosper as you and only you who have the right to smile for an effort you have accomplished through what matters most, the American dream and not the Global dream. Your tax dollars already pay for global messes, don’t get suckered into the global market as you have been suckered into the Obama market.

Absolute No-Go’s:

UNICEF

UNITAID

Clinton

Gates

United Nations (UN)

World Health Organization (WHO)

Most Importantly, DON”T FLY if you can help it. The mere fact that airlines, online ticketing and reservations and their affiliates embark on such a fraud is disgusting not to mention legal, government sponsored panhandling………

Following their 2009 SAMMY Award in the Social Direct Response Campaign we interview Brandon Heagle the President and COO of Flying Point Media on how the New York Yankees successfully used social network marketing to promote their premium season tickets.

Q. What is a social direct marketing campaign and what are the benefits?

A. Social direct marketing is the application of a quantifiable approach to social media to try and better evaluate the return on your social media efforts. Although not pure direct response with concrete cost/return determinations it does place much more emphasis on tying social media efforts to the end results. By monitoring mentions of key phrases that are unique to a campaign (i.e. Yankees Premium) through the most popular social media avenues one can utilize conversation mining to identify opportunities to channel advertising dollars and then quantify the results through standard online tracking methods.

Q. How did Flying Point measure the success of the marketing campaign?

A. The success of the marketing campaign was tied strictly to the cost-effectiveness of Yankees Premium ticket sales.

Q. Can sports clubs run various direct marketing campaigns simultaneously and if so how can they ensure this is done effectively?

A. Certainly it can be done. The more components there are to a campaign and the more fragmented these components are from one another however, the more difficult it is to filter out the impact of each element of the campaign. The key is to have a centralized data set and tracking methodology and to identify the synergies and overlapping impacts of each piece of the campaign. As a simple example, when running lots of traditional advertising it is typical to see an increase in search volume and sales conversions from your paid search campaign, especially around brand terms and campaign phrases that are unique to the advertising messaging. Without monitoring all of the parts from a centralized point of view, these impacts are often overlooked or misinterpreted.

Q. How will the use of social marketing develop over the next five years?

A. Our vision is that social media is going to continue to evolve and we are going to see much more sophisticated targeting algorithms develop. With the continued evolution of behavioral targeting capabilities and the growing number of social media touch points, we are on the precipice of being able to target users based on very specific criteria. As people start sharing more and more of their thoughts, likes and dislikes on the internet these become targetable data for more sophisticated algorithms to interpret. This will lead to a much better psychographic profile helping determine the ads to which a user would best respond.

Good morning friends.  AJL will start issuing free BRTS tickets.  18,000 tickets were issued from eight bus stops on the opening day .  I’m sure many will avail on that. 

The Ahmedabad Janamarg Limited on Wednesday started issuing free tickets from eight BRTS stops to check the pros and cons of its ticketing system. On the opening day, 18,000 tickets were issued. Within a week, free tickets will be issued from the rest of the 12 BRTS bus stops, where the process of installing the ticketing system is in progress.

The civic body has made free tickets mandatory for BRTS rides to help conductors and passengers adapt to the ticketing system. It will take around two-three seconds to issue a ticket. An AJL official said: “We have started issuing free tickets to test the software of the ticketing system and its performance.

Moreover, we will be able to ascertain how much time passengers will need to buy tickets and board a bus. It will give us a real time experience.” He added, “Another reason behind starting the zero-ticketing system is to train our employees.

As the conductors and the system are new, we need to learn trouble-shooting in advance.”The civic body has purchased 50,000 paper rolls for regular tickets and 75,000 cards for issuing pre-paid cards. The tickets will be issued free of cost till the formal inauguration of BRTS. - AhmedabadMirror

TicketBiscuit has submitted an idea for a panel at The SXSW 2010 Music Conference. We’ve got some very cool research, ideas, and technology behind our discounting methodology and we’re wanting to share it with the rest of the music industry.

The Miami Dolphins are in talks with Serena and Venus Williams with a view of the tennis superstars becoming part-owners.

The Williams sisters, who make their home in Palm Beach Gardens, could take a limited stake in the team or a marketing partnership – attracting African-American presence to the club.

The Dolphins already have a number of celebrity stakeholders, with musicians Jimmy Buffet and Gloria and Emilio Estefan becoming minority partners earlier this year. With Serena and Venus Williams it provides both parties an opportunity to diversify their brands and business interests.

Basketball has often benefited from a ‘celebrity image’ with a number of Hollywood stars including Jack Nicholson, Justin Timberlake and music superstar Jay-Z taking front row seats. Indeed Jay-Z is a $300m part-owner of the New Jersey Nets.

Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross, who completed his $1.1 billion purchase of the team and stadium in January, has said the partnerships are strategic, rather than financial and aimed at infusing fun and entertainment into the game-day experience at the stadium.

In a bid to sell tickets and reach out to new fans The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced the launch of the club’s first mobile ticketing unit with the help from Long Beach native, West Coast Hip Hop artist, and international music icon Snoop Dogg.

The Dodgers Ticket Truck will be the first-of-its-kind in MLB that will take sales on the road and give fans access to Dodger tickets in their own communities.

The Dodgers Ticket Truck was collaborated on by West Coast Customs and will begin traveling to various community festivals, events, concerts, parks, grocery stores, retail locations, and throughout greater Los Angeles neighborhoods. The mobile unit was designed to take Dodgers tickets at all price levels directly to fans, offer ticket specials exclusive to the Dodgers Ticket Truck, and to increase the Dodgers’ visibility in the community.

“We are looking forward to giving fans the chance to purchase tickets in their own neighborhoods,” said Dodgers President Dennis Mannion. “The fan experience begins at the moment someone decides to come to a game at Dodger Stadium and we believe our fans will appreciate this process being simplified and brought directly to them like never before.”

The Dodgers Ticket Truck will begin traveling throughout greater Los Angeles today. Fans can keep updated on the location of the Dodgers Ticket Truck by following the Dodgers on Twitter at www.twitter.com/dodgertownusa.

The Dodgers have also partnered with Snoop Dogg in the “This is My Town” billboard advertising campaign that can be seen throughout greater Los Angeles. Snoop Dogg’s signature billboard debuted today and can be found on iconic Sunset Blvd at Olive by the House of Blues. “This is My Town” billboards featuring Snoop Dogg will be located throughout the city.
