That’s the Ticket.com!

Rare Domain Name Available Until Tuesday
Excuse me while I catch my breath …
“For travel, sports, music ticketing services — there is no better address,” says www.domainconsultant.com analyst Mike Fiol. “It means instant market share into the massive ticket industry. What is that worth?“
Yes ‘instant market share’ …
A couple of things spring to mind, ticket.com ain’t as exciting as tickets.com, afterall who wants to go anywhere on their own 
But the main issue is that a ticket is purely a means to an end, i.e. it is secondary to the primary purpose of the purchase. There is no demand for tickets per se, only a demand for a show, concert, trip etc that the ticket is a license for entry.
Let alone the fact that there are already no tickets for air flights anymore, they are all e-tickets.
To borrow from Levitt, relying on this logic kerosene.com would be a great domain … well, until electric light appeared or train.com before the advent of the motor car.
