Mark of Titirangi won our first set of Dave Dobbyn tickets in last week’s draw.
Mark has been a loyal Dave Dobbyn fan over the years and he’s never won anything before, so he was doubly happy! Congratulations Mark and enjoy Dave’s 30th anniversary concert!

A huge congratulations to Shane a.k.a fruitwasp and his mate Sonya a.k.a. jamsamnz, who referred him to MarketPrice.co.nz!
Because of Sonya’s referral you have both won a double pass each to see the Black Eyed Peas live in concert on Tuesday the 13th of October at Vector Arena!
We’ve had a huge response to our Black Eyed Peas referral competition, so thank you to everyone who participated. Stay tuned because we have another competition launching soon!
Update: we met up with Shane and Sonya on a wet Auckland morning and handed over their winnings! The two best friends couldn’t be happier!

We drew 2 winners for the Black Eyed Peas double-passes at 9pm last night! The first winner was referred by an existing member, which made that member our second winner.
Referring a mate has earned them and their mate a double-pass each to see the Black Eyed Peas live in Auckland on the 13th of October!
We will be announcing the winners as soon as we get in touch with them. Stay tuned!

MarketPrice presented at the start-up event at Microsoft’s TechEd conference in Auckland this week. We showed how our unified Markets are changing the way Kiwis trade event tickets:

Refer a friend and win tickets to the Black Eyed Peas concert in Auckland!
Refer a friend to register for MarketPrice using your referral link and you’ll both go in the draw to win a double-pass each! You can get your referral link after you login - it will be on the Black Eyed Peas banner on the Home page. (If you’re not yet a member, you’ll need to register first.)
Every friend that registers with your referral automatically goes in the draw to win a double pass, and if they win one, you will win another. This means you get a chance to win for each friend you sign up. The more friends you sign up, the better your chance of winning!
The promo ends 9.00pm Monday 5th October and the winner will be announced on Tuesday 6th October. Here’s the legal nitty gritty.
Best of luck!
Alexey, Mike, Tim
It’s been just over a month since our last blog entry, and what a busy month it’s been!
The New Zealand International Film Festival whisked into wintry Auckland and Wellington theatres in July, warming audiences with creativity from around the world. Spring will see the Festival visit many more towns around the country.
In the meantime, chart-topping supergroup, the Black Eyed Peas, also announced a spring date. Their highly-anticipated concert in Auckland will heat it up at Vector Arena on 13 October.
MarketPrice will have tickets to the Black Eyed Peas concert to give away to our lucky members in a competition. We will announce the details soon. Register for our newsletter or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to be among the first to know.

The MarketPrice website is now open to registrations from the public. Any New Zealand resident can now create a free MarketPrice account to buy and sell event tickets. The service is available as a fully-functional and completely free public beta.
Here is a summary from our press release:
New Zealand’s first dedicated secondary market for concert, sport, theater and other event tickets is now available to NZ residents as a free public beta. The service brings significant innovations aiming to simplify and democratise the controversial ticket-resale industry.
Today’s public launch also marks the official end of the private beta period. We thank all our friends and family for testing the site, reporting issues and suggesting improvements. As a result of your help, we have eliminated many a bug and implemented a ton of enhancements. The site now looks, feels and functions up to the high standards expected by a broader audience. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Truly yours

We asked our friends to help us find the market price for Pussycat Dolls tickets. Tickets have been going for crazy amounts in other trading forums, but we wanted to find the going price amongst our friends. - So we dropped the price every day, until somebody finally thought it was a bargain and snapped them up!
The going price was found to be $84 per ticket. This means the market price for Pussycat Dolls GA tickets amongst our friends has been determined to be $84!
We are sure some of you Business school students will base many an Economics PhD on the scientific research conducted here (maybe not!), meanwhile we would like to thank you all for participating! Judging by the number of hits, this has been a very popular promo, and the most popular Market on the MarketPrice beta site so far.
We would love to continue receiving all your feedback about the site, so talk to us directly, or contact us.
Truly yours
Alexey, Anil, Mike, Tim
