A New Deal?

Yea! In recent years, Nigerian Cinema industry resuscitated with the advent of Numetro, Silverbird  and others, giving people another option of entertainment from the usual fast food, beach and sitcoms. As the Nigerian web industry evolves so are ideas and better ways to do things, this is a game starter as its set to open a new chapter in the Nigeria entertainment industry. Looking at their official statement; “…We connect the world to live entertainment events in Nigeria by providing up-to-date information on live events and giving fans opportunity to buy tickets conveniently…” A good pitch I must say!

The Real Deal

Now what’s the deal about? How will it serve you?

• Online ticketing: you can now buy your tickets online via a secure web platform, giving you access to do adequate planning for your weekend without a rush. No more sold out events!
• Connect with Live events: Well, I hope to see how this will pan out. Is it going to be video streaming? Twitter or text? Anyhow it is you can always get connected.
• It also promised to send email and SMS alerts of your favourite artist/comedian shows, hot movie in town and things of interest to you.
• The events listed also provide means for you purchase ticked right away!
• Events and tickets are available across Nigeria.

The challenge

The site design is aesthetic and cool! As a trends setter, the site will need to create a standard worth competing for. As always popularity is of great importance, and the bunch of it will happen on the launch date.

Technicality: I think a review needs to be done to the customer area so as to give accurate personal data. (I have some reservations there).

Talking about money now, holistic approach needs to be done to the billing process as more Nigeria are yet to master online payment and trust them as well.

Business Model

The model employed buy this site includes; Advertisement and Infomediary, making money off ticket sold and from attention generated.

Have a similar site, idea? “Ki lo n she le?”
