Does Facebook & Social Media really fuel ticket sales?

Some interesting stats by way of a case study in Ticketfly: Facebook really does fuel ticket sales

  • In Jan 2011, Ticketfly sold 3.25 tickets for every Facebook share/tweet
  • Facebook is Ticketfly’s top referrer at roughly 9% of total traffic

However, I am not so sure of the liklihood of the following ‘giant killer’ analogy … “San Francisco startup Ticketfly aims to take on concert ticketing giant Ticketmaster. Its main weapon? Social networking.

On the subject of proof of Facebook and other Social Media to impact ticket sales refer to an earlier FULLHOUSES post Proof: How social media sold a theatre ticket on Facebook
