One of the hallmarks of an entrepreneur is the ability to exploit a gap in the market. In the case of Micket – an online events ticketing service – it’s more a case of prying open a gap that doesn’t yet fully exist.

This gap is but a tiny fissure at the moment, but that may change if the Competition Commission rules against market incumbent Computicket, which is being investigated for anti-competitive practices. This complaint is based on its stranglehold on the market through exclusive agreements with events promoters and the venues themselves.
