TicketLeap serves small venues

Thanks, Mark, for posting this great news about TicketLeap! Since you mentioned it's an "exchange", I just wanted to clarify that TicketLeap is actually NOT focused on the secondary (ticket reselling) space. Our platform is designed to allow small venues and other informal event organizers (bands, festivals, etc) to be able to sell tickets online without any hardware, software, or contracts.
