E-ticketer works for Giants
Justarrive Inc., an electronic ticketing firm founded two years ago by a group of Stanford University undergraduates, is working on a pilot program for San Francisco Giants luxury suite owners. The pilot, which Justarrive officials say eliminates the hassle of mailing paper tickets, has picked up only a couple of the Giants' 67 suite owners since it was launched in May. Luxury suite owners use an online account page to send e-mails to people using the suite for a coming game. The recipients e-mail their credit card number and, upon arriving at Pacific Bell Park, simply swipe the card through a reader. It's the first pro sports contract for Just-arrive, whose college roster of customers includes Stanford, UCLA, Central Florida, Georgia Tech and Miami.
