We're gonna go down there and talk to.
-- -- About a couple of things -- and mainly of course -- we're talking about seat upgrades and as we go to heaven right now to you can follow us on Twitter at Adam -- also follows on FaceBook and of course you can live chat on foxnews.com Evan.
Is the founder of Pope goes seat -- -- -- after Evan you know we just went to a -- game here on Monday in a place was packed.
And what's so interesting about this is who had friend that -- -- -- talk about the someone tonight in fact when the game is getting blown out and the giants are getting killed people we're going home.
-- you have moved down to a better seat closer to the action there's really no one has stopped him but let's say the game was a close game.
Anyone to better see your app is the one that solves that right.
That's correct.
Tell us about it how to work.
Well we -- teams in the venues and -- companies and so if the giants for example had unsold inventory.
And the fans are watching the game in the third inning -- seats down low.
They don't -- and diplomacy app and down -- crater C right then.
Rather Beers in -- on down there you seats.
So are the teams are working with obviously this is on the has its new -- you -- been out.
We're actually launching our first I had -- on September -- they're playing duke and a football game that's are -- -- our first game.
So ideally.
If this was to spread throughout the leagues you would be -- people in touch with the teams throughout the game obviously to see the seeds that have not been sold.
And then.
People -- -- again in the first second inning off of a baseball game or in the first quarter of football game whatever the Stanford game for example say you're there you watching duke play Stanford.
And you look down own section 10 to -- season seats down there.
You'd be able to go on the happened and look at -- because -- are available.
Yeah exactly so we workers -- before the -- we know -- -- -- on soul and so to be loaded on the publicity GAAP.
Answers stamper want to turn on diplomacy -- They cans are weather fans like we said upgraded the first quarter second quarter third quarter who knows but -- toll after the -- control that.
The -- actually controls the app itself and then obviously putting your your.
Payment -- I assume didn't pay with PayPal one of those services and and then basically just move on down.
Yeah exactly -- and one you can log -- with you know FaceBook Linkedin and Twitter or -- -- -- account you can pay with Amazon PayPal -- credit card.
On ideally you know you have account our readiness and her story so throughout the game and you hop on -- -- All you gotta do is pick your new C.
And you know your payments that this is -- Are now file so it's a quick you know less than one minute transaction we don't want to miss again you're there watch the game not hot when you're on -- -- Writes -- the first game is doing this the first time as -- usually is in the Stanford game coming up here and a couple weeks.
That's right as right.
-- we got some NBA and NHL teams lined up for the upcoming season as well some more NCAA -- -- Look at what's what it what do you expect the feedback to beat -- star fans out there that are gonna say as is great I love the idea of -- the other guys who just pay for the general mission -- Papers she proceeds say we know why don't you now -- -- -- sneak down and sit in the seat.
That's a lot closer to the -- not pay the money.
-- -- a great question and down.
And it'll get there early -- -- the ideal form a bye bye guys knocked down as an empty seats and then get kicked out what usher so of course the teams have to have security.
And have to protect the premium seats -- there's no ushers.
Guarding -- -- you sneak down.
You know that's a problem ideally we think -- we -- to provide some revenue for these teams have been taken you know hire more -- if necessary on.
But I also think to some fans are.
Hesitant to -- out because they don't want to embarrass someone shows up or whatnot so I'm.
Publicity given the legit way to upgrade their -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Allowed to be able to get my hands on those so.
I -- got to look at it possibility of moving this over -- -- concert venue idea right.
Absolutely not a great comment and downs itself -- the most are connections and the sports leagues but certainly concerts.
I'm really you know we want world domination -- -- to be you know cricket in India -- I'm rugby and South Africa anywhere there's a venue and the seats we wanna be there so definitely content -- our list.
What do what do you -- this idea how long -- taken this what that you know I've always been curious about people that are developing apps is.
You come up with an idea how long is -- -- this take to develop an -- perhaps someone else develop it for you -- mean from idea to concept to.
-- -- Yeah I play my grandpa was they had dairy farmer for thirty years in Virginia and he said -- -- uphill all the way.
So -- it's a lot longer harder -- thinks.
You know this idea was born.
Fifteen months ago.
And me from my CTO Dan Simon nominees and rose -- designer.
We've cultivated a great team and we built this over the last you know 1213 months so on it's a long time.
You know not to mention -- in the product and in the design and all that but also the sales process selling these big sports teams -- venues.
It's a lot of hard work so on.
-- hasn't had to hear stories about -- overnight success stories like you on you rarely see the the background of the two years of blood sweat and tears its stuff.
Right -- Evan Ellis -- your time from the Los Angeles -- call pogo seat that's the app again -- see you confided.
Right now on the app store's closing Google and you'll be able to try it out coming up if you're at the Stanford duke game and a couple of weeks I'm sure it.
It sounds like it's gonna be standing out there this ball so good luck with everything Evan thanks for joining us we'll check back -- with yet.
And see how that first game way.
Now get thanks a lot.
