This story was written by Robert Andrews.
Well, this is novel. Husband-and-wife star tennis pair Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are among the "high-profile individuals" to have invested $15 million (10.2 million) in UK-based secondary tickets marketplace Viagogo, after it already raised $25 million in 2006 and $30 million a year later. It's now highly geared on $70 million venture funding.
Founded by U.S. secondary-ticketing agency StubHub's founder Eric Baker, Viagogo competes here with Seatwave and says this money will help it to become a market leader in Europeeven though it's already based in Europe, London specifically. More details on PCUK.
