FanSnap Raises Another $5.2 Million For Its ‘Kayak For Event Tickets’

FanSnap, the startup that we’ve likened to a Kayak for event ticket searches, has closed a $5.2 million funding round led by Highland Capital Partners. As part of the deal, Richard de Silva of Highland will be joining the company’s board of directors. The new round brings FanSnap’s total funding to by $15.7 million, after a $10 million Series A round from General Catalyst Partners last year.

FanSnap allows users to search dozens of ticket providers at once, including sites like StubHub, eBay, and RazorGator. The site now claims an index of 13,169,532 available tickets to 33,653 different events. The site goes well beyond

standard price listings too — instead of simply showing a Craigslist-style list of available tickets, FanSnap offers a visual map showing off precisely where in a stadium each ticket corresponds to. It plus shows how valuable each ticket is using using a color key and alerts users to tickets it deems to be the best buys.
