viagogo Wins Best e-commerce Category at the Fourth Annual International Business Awards

London, UK (PRWEB) July 6, 2007 -- viagogo (http://www.viagogo.com), Europe's leading online secondary ticket exchange, won the best e-commerce award at "the business world's own Oscars" - the 2007 International Business Awards. The London based company was also nominated as a finalist in the "Best New Company" and the "Best New Service" categories.

This is the latest in a line of successes for viagogo since it launched in August 2006. During the last year it has reinvented secondary ticketing in Europe and has established itself as the leading force in the multi-billion pound industry.

Since its launch, viagogo has developed a portfolio of partnership deals with world-leading UK and European sports teams, media companies and charities. It is the official secondary ticketing partner of football clubs such as Chelsea FC, Manchester United FC, Everton FC, Blackburn Rovers FC and FC Bayern Munich, as well as Rugby Union clubs Leicester Tigers and London Wasps. Among other deals, viagogo has also signed partnerships with lastminute.com, Europe's leading independent online travel and leisure group, major global music company Warner Music International, and charities Amnesty International and Music for Relief. Consequently viagogo has become the online destination of choice for people seeking tickets for major live events of all kinds across Europe.

Recipients of the awards were selected from more than 1,000 nominations received from companies and individuals from more than 30 countries.

Eric Baker CEO of viagogo welcomed the accolade, he said. "We're proud to receive this award. It's a great recognition of our business model. viagogo has revolutionised the ticketing industry by offering consumers access to the hottest tickets across Europe in a safe and secure manner".

About viagogo

viagogo is an online secondary ticket exchange that allows people to buy and sell live event tickets in a safe and secure environment. What that means is that viagogo facilitates and guarantees the exchange between someone who wants to sell and someone who wants to buy live event tickets. By managing payment and delivery we guarantee that buyers will receive their tickets and sellers will receive payment. For this service, viagogo takes a commission which is a percentage of each exchange.

viagogo was set up in August 2006 by the co-founder of StubHub.com, the leading online secondary ticketing company in the US that was acquired in January 2007 by eBay for $307m. Based on an already proven business model and adapted for the European market, viagogo is the first and leading business of its kind in Europe, bringing efficiency and transparency to what has traditionally been a murky marketplace. It is therefore the best place to buy and sell live event tickets in a secure and guaranteed way.
