A great sale of a premium domain. Ticket.com has been purchased for $1,525,000 and had been promoted through the AfternicDLS distribution network. Details of the sale are scarce at this point and interested parties can only speculate as to the buyer.

The name is pure generic and consequently pulled a premium price. It is estimated to be in the top 5 published domain sales for 2009. One might naturally assume that the buyer is tickets.com, but there are a number of ticket sale companies operating successfully in this arena who could benefit from the Ticket.com domain.

Concerts, sports, and musical ticket sales bring in a staggering amount annually. So gaining any competitive edge in this space, even at the cost of $1,525,000, is likely a sound investment in capturing and protecting market share.
