Ticketbud is an event management, ticketing and registration SaaS platform for event organizers.[1] The software allows event organizers to sell tickets to events and also to promote and market their events on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Founded in 2009 in Austin, Texas, Ticketbud's revenue is derived from a fee placed upon tickets sold through its software at $0.99 + 2% of the ticket's value per ticket. It places no fee upon events which cost nothing to enter, and due to its involvement with non-profits it offers a reduced rate for organizations under 501(c)(3) designation.[2]
The American Basketball Association (ABA) is an American semi-professional men's basketball minor league that was founded in 1999.[1] The ABA has teams based in the United States and has had international teams based in Canada and Mexico. During its history, the league has had traveling teams from countries such as Australia and Japan that have played in the ABA. Additionally, the league has had teams made up of players from a particular country on a team based in the United States. This was done as a way to showcase players from that country in the United States.
