I'm not sure it was that hard to be like, "you know what, I'll do Farecast for sports and concerts" as an idea. It's the execution that impresses me, but the idea was obvious the day Farecast proved that you could pull it off.

I was in DreamIt last summer. Russ and the SeatGeek team were some of the hardest-working people I've ever seen.

And they still are. Awesome guys to work with and real humble too. Haven't met a pair of people more focused on their goals than Russ and Jack yet.

IMO the best part of their site isn't the Farecast -- it's the interface for choosing seats. You can see at a glance what seats are available and how the prices compare to face value.
