So a bit of a light-hearted follow up on yesterday’s post about states making laws to combat deceptive ticketing practices. I have to give much love to Ticketing Professionals (UK) Conference for creating a series of games for the ticketing community.
About a month ago I became aware of their Usher Rusher game where you have to seat people as fast as you can while watching out for VIP or special access patrons. It wasn’t until the last week or so I discovered they have a whole series of games, including one where you play as a ticket speculator where you try to buy low and sell high and a wack-a-mole style game where you try to smackdown ticket touts.
There is even a theater management game where you set ticket prices, marketing budget, and “balance public interest with customer satisfaction.”
I feel so seen!
But also, this may be way too close to what I do at work to be fun.
Check out the whole arcade of six games
