Project Description: The “Concert” feature on the Fandango mobile app makes it easier and faster for music devotees to buy tickets on the go. “Fandango Concert” offers ticket price comparison, options to easily transfer mobile tickets to friends, and the ability to resell tickets before an event.
Challenge: To add a Concert Feature to the pre-existing Fandango Moblie App, with features that outclasses efforts from competitors.
Solution: A minimalist implementation that saves the tickets purchased directly onto the users photo gallery, passbook, and the Fandango Ticket Archive. It also compares ticket prices with Stubhub and TicketMaster to reveal the best deals. It lets the user browse friends favorited concerts, and make their own lists of favorite concerts.

4. Mobile Purchasing Behavior
63% of mobile consumers buy because of on-the-go
convenience. *
42% of consumers pay online transactions with a credit
card. **
“Dreskin, [cofounder and CEO of Ticketfly], says that
70% of people surveyed in a recent study said they
didn’t attend an event because they didn’t know it was
even happening. Sometimes just being aware of the
event is most of the battle.” ***
