Event ticketing company WanTickets has recently launched its new property, WantHipHop.com.
Director of Business Development for WanTickets Ben De Ayora says
WantHipHop, which aims to bring users details of upcoming Hip Hop shows
from across the country, was birthed due to fans not being aware about
live Hip Hop concerts in their cities.
“The reasons why I felt like WantHipHop was needed was
because if you look out at the Internet right now with the exception of
what we’re doing, there is no one place on the Internet to find all of
the Hip Hop events that are going on in any one particular area,” Ben De
Ayora says. “You might find a calendar for one city here or a calendar
for one area there, but there’s nothing that really unifies it all
together and then highlights what these guys are doing at their shows.
Their shows kind of just happen, they disappear and then they’re onto
the next one.”
Discussing WantHipHop.com’s target audience, Ben De Ayora
says the site is aimed at anyone who has an interest in seeing Hip Hop
music and culture live.
