For example, at an event, say at the Staples Center, of the 20,000 seats they might have four or five price groups. I ended up switching to selling on Stubhub in 2007, after eBay made it much more difficult to search for tickets.

We saw a continuation of 2006 and 2007, where there were too many "me-too" players. We signed two term sheets in the last six weeks, and are actively looking at opportunities.
