VERNON, Connecticut -- Frustrated that you couldn't get a ticket to the NBA Finals last week? What about the Major League Baseball All-Star game in July? A U2 concert? PGA tournament? Wicked on Broadway? We all know the disappointment that comes with box office rejection.

Hailstorm.com has the answer to the box office mantra of "Sorry, we're sold out." With the world's largest database of secondary market ticket inventory, and the most trafficked website in the ticket resale industry, Hailstorm is a highly evolved, customer-friendly ticket source. Within two weeks of launching, Hailstorm beat competitors by capturing a significant amount of market share, according to HitWise (www.HitWise.com). It ranked first several times during that span. Additionally, Hailstorm was recently named to Alexa Web Search's "Movers and Shakers" List (http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=en).

Hailstorm also boasts prices that are significantly cheaper than its competitors. "Our goal is to provide the absolute best ticket prices to our customers," notes April Mohr, Public Relations Coordinator for Hailstorm. "A live performance is a totally unique experience, and Hailstorm makes the thrill of 'being there' available to everyone."

In just a few short weeks, Hailstorm.com has revolutionized the online ticketing industry. Hailstorm is powered by the innovative technology of TicketNetwork Direct (www.TicketNetworkDirect.com). This allows Hailstorm to operate more efficiently than its competitors and pass the savings on to consumers. Hailstorm's prices are generally 10% cheaper than the other top ticket sites, as evidenced by a price comparison on the homepage of Hailstorm.com that is updated daily.

"We want to be the site people go to for tickets," explains Donald Vaccaro, owner of Hailstorm's parent company, TicketNetwork, and a 25-year veteran of the ticketing industry. "We have the largest inventory, outstanding brokers, and low prices."

Sometimes watching a sporting event on television, or listening to your favorite band in your car just won't do. Sometimes you need the roar of the crowd, the thumping bass, or an orchestra-level view. Sometimes you need to hear the applause. Hailstorm. When you just have to be there.
