Ticketmaster Launches Beta Affiliate Program with buy at, Inc

Wow – I just stumbled across some BIG news on the buy at, Inc forum at ABestWeb: Ticketmaster chooses buy at, Inc – Beta affiliate program launch!

Ticketmaster Affiliate Programbuy at, Inc., a subsidiary of UK-based Perfiliate Technologies Ltd, is a recent entry into the U.S. affiliate network race.

The company soft launched in the U.S. in March 2007, and their full launch will be on Dec 1, 2007 with an office on Wall Street in New York City.

“buy at will be running this program exclusively for Ticketmaster so if your already an affiliate with buy at then just log into your account and apply from there.

Andy Rodriguez and his team will be handling things day to day along with members of buy at and Ticketmaster depending on the enquiry, so you can look forward to the very best support from people you can trust.”

According to the Hitwise Retail 100 Index, a list of the top 100 shopping websites based on US Internet usage, for the week ending November 3, 2007, Ticketmaster was the #17 shopping site.

Ticketmaster has slightly less market share than the likes of powerhouse online retailers like Dell, Circuit City and Sears, and more market share than Home Depot, Lowes, and eBay Express, according to the Hitwise Retail 100 Index.

I’d imagine there is some hand wringing in the board rooms of the other U.S. affiliate networks right about now.

    Hmm, not sure that the big affiliate networks will really care about the Ticketmaster business or need to do any explaining to higher-ups; given the ownership structure of Ticketmaster (Barry in the house!) I can’t imagine that they’d go with the trad’l big names. Too many complicated conflicts of interest if you ask me.

    So it makes perfect sense that Ticketmaster would go with a smaller player that doesn’t have as many complicated political tapdancing that would be associated with it. (IMHO)

    I just started receiving your updates and wanted to say thanks for the great information for a relative beginner.

    I went to the but at site, but wasn’t able to find a new user sign up. I guess I’ll have to be patient and hope that changes in December.

    TicketNetwork.com is offering a much better commission rate with their affiliate program through Kowabunga. You can place banner or text ads on your site to direct traffic to TicketNetwork.com and when the customer you refer to TicketNetwork.com places a sale, you earn 12.5%commission on that sale! This commission rate is better than any of the other affiliate programs in the industry. Compared with Ticketmaster’s meager 1% commission rate, you’d be crazy not to join this program! For more info, visit http://www.ticketnetwork.com/affiliates/program.aspx.

    I signed up and can’t figure out how to work the banners and stuff. I’ve tried calling every day for a week and no one ever answers the phone. I’ve emailed and emailed and no one ever answers. Don’t waste your time trying this. If they’re so unresponsive in just getting it set up on my site, god only knows what would havppen if there were a real problem. I can’t even get a corporate number for ticketmaster to complain to someone who would be in charge of it.
