Co-founders Wanted for TicketMaster Killer

Let's face it: TicketMaster sucks. They're slow, bloated, and old. Not to mention, if you're fed up with paying an $8.00 "convenience fee" on a $25 ticket, you're not the only one.

ZapTix is a new startup in the ticketing space. We're launched, profitable, and have interest from a number of investors. The site was founded by me, Christian Perry, and I'm assembling a founding team to take the company forward.

We're focused on cornering the college market, where no single company has a foothold. We've already been adopted by departments at MIT, UPenn, Uchicago, and almost a dozen schools in California.

If you've got programming skills and a passion for new ideas, I'm looking for fellow visionaries to join me. You'll come in with a co-founder role, a big equity stake, and a chance to change the industry.

If you have the skills and passion to bring a big idea to life, I'd love to hear from you. We're currently written in PHP, and looking at Flash as well.

Interested? Email me at cperry@zaptix.com.
