My fun little side project. I needed a place to sell my Bruins season tickets without StubHub gorging me on commission, or gorging my buyers on "convenience fees".

So, I learned Rails and scratched my own itch.

Would love to hear what you think.

Try and put the sign up form after the user has described a ticket. If possible, avoid setting up a password and just ask for an email. Once someone puts in even a few seconds entering info, they have a vested interest to not quit the process.

These little things take extra time to get right, but help conversion.

I'm not a big sports fan (and not in the US), otherwise I'd have more useful feedback.

Thanks - I'm already working on exactly this :)

One more thing: Your featured listings page looks more convincing than the homepage. I'd put at least a few listings, the phone number and testimonial on the homepage.
