March was a record traffic month for us. According to Nielsen, Eventfinder ranked 26 for Total Traffic with 239,216 unique browsers. A certain well-known ticketing company ranked 41, so we’re quite pleased we can honestly say we’re the ticketing services company with the highest consumer audience.
We attained a record high of 22 for domestic traffic, a feat we’re particularly proud of considering we spend next to nothing on marketing. We are constantly surprised in the growth in the market for event information, as we achieved these records while distributing our content far and wide.
Of the Top 50 websites for domestic traffic, Eventfinder distributes event information to seven of them (rankings in brackets) – Yahoo!Xtra (2), MSN (3), Stuff (4), NZ Herald (5), Metservice (8), AA Travel (31) View New Zealand (39) and Jasons (43).
Top 10 Events by Page Views for March 2010 (Eventfinder):
- Royal Easter Show, Epsom
- Disney on Ice, Christchurch
- Grease The Musical, Auckland
- The Kingsland Festival, Kingsland
- The Pixies, Christchurch
- Rebel Souljahz, Otaki
- The Sound Factory, Ellerslie
- Kumeu Scarecrow Festival
- The Food Show, Christchurch
- Rent The Musical, Auckland
The Royal Easter Show is predictable, but the Rebel Souljahz surprised even us, and we’re doing the ticketing for the gigs. The Scarecrow Festival was another surprise inclusion considering the big-name acts that didn’t feature as prominently as most people would expect, like Crowded House (number 24).
