StubDog.com Takes a Bite Out of Ticket Prices
Houston's Newest Online Ticketing Resource Unleashed

Houston, June 25 2008

Today, just in time for summer outings, StubDog.com -- the premier online discount ticketing resource for live, local events -- announced the addition of new entertainment opportunities in the Houston area. With chances to laugh out loud, shop 'til you drop, learn about Houston and splash friends and neighbors with paintballs, StubDog.com now features tickets to events from more Houston entertainment venues than ever before.

"With the addition of these diverse entertainment organizations, StubDog.com now offers something for many different interests, price ranges and areas of the city," declared Sam Levassar, Founder and CEO of StubDog.com.

With thousands of subscribers to its locally targeted weekly e-newsletters, StubDog.com helps people find great deals on great entertainment and helps entertainment outlets diversify their audiences. Most tickets are offered at half-price with the customer absorbing a small service charge. New offerings are posted frequently, often daily.

StubDog.com provides entertainment venues the opportunity to reach a much larger audience by selling their extra inventory to people who wouldn't have tried that event at full price. Without additional advertising costs, in fact at no cost to the entertainment venues at all, StubDog.com helps fill seats to various productions and activities -- seats that might otherwise remain empty -- thereby increasing revenue.

"StubDog.com offers the online community great prices that allow us to glean new audiences on dates or times that tend to be lower attendance," says Andrea Lynn of A. D. Players, an early adopter of the online resource. "And StubDog.com pays us 100% of the price listed on the website. They are a nice complement to our promotional needs."

Customers who purchase the deeply discounted seats online pay a small service charge, which is added to the price.

Favorites still available

Since 2006, StubDog.com has offered Houstonians the opportunity to enjoy local entertainment at a fraction of the original ticket price. "Never fear," says Levassar. "We're still offering all your old favorites, too."
