StubDog Introduces New Refer-A-Friend Program

- New Incentive Provides Members with Opportunity to Earn Cash Toward Tickets for Events -

StubDog.com, one of the nation’s fastest-growing online discount ticket agencies, continuously brainstorms ways to bring an eclectic range of entertainment options to people of all budgets. StubDog’s newest discount program, Refer-A-Friend, is an addition to the ultra-low ticket prices for which the site is known. The new program will provide StubDog members with even more ticket-buying power.

StubDog’s Refer-A-Friend program is designed for accessibility and ease of use. For every friend a member refers to StubDog.com, the company will issue $1 toward to the member’s future ticket purchases. With no referral limit, members can quickly rake in reduced tickets by referring friends via email, blogs, Facebook, or Twitter.

One of the many ways StubDog has set itself apart from other online ticket vendors is by its dedication to giving to the community – not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the company’s mission. When founders Sam Levassar and Paul Beckwith created StubDog, they envisioned a cyber destination where people could go to find tickets to the hottest events in their area, offered at affordable prices. At the same time, the site would provide an avenue for under-the-radar artists and venues to gain the community recognition they deserve.

“Our customers have been an incredible support to us and our business,” states Levassar, co-founder of StubDog.com. “As a way to extend our appreciation, we are launching the Refer-A-Friend program as way to provide added incentive to share this benefit with their friends and increase the value they receive from using our services. We hope this program will also serve to get the awareness out on the amazing venues and events that we partner with, and we hope that our customers will help us support this commitment to the communities and the arts.”

Founded in Levassar and Beckwith’s hometown of Houston, StubDog has expanded to serve the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, New York and Dallas/Fort Worth as well. The company donates a percentage of all ticket sales to charitable organizations in these areas, which it hopes to increase in the near future.

Fast forward to a time where one can click on a Website and find all the ingredients and choices for a beautiful night out from theatre and dance, comedy and sport, to speed dating and yoga. And whatever one’s cyber shopping cart click may be, the price of admission would be half that of its regular printed tag. And in this same fast forward, the wondrous evening to be had not only is conveniently secured and wallet pleasing, but also gives back to the community. Well then the time would be 2009 and the magical provider would be Texas-grown ticket maverick StubDog.

StubDog was founded in 2006 by young entrepreneur Sam Levassar. Spawned from the contemporary prerequisite Friday night question, “What are we going to do tonight?” Levassar realized for lack of a better, more comprehensive conduit to the city’s every changing events, he and most people where doing the same thing, revisiting the same places week after week. His vision was to create one cyber destination where people could discover all the exciting, great events happening throughout the city and at the same time find a way to give back to the community and to the arts. The goal set forth by Levassar and StubDog was to be able to provide people with the opportunity to try something new and entice them to explore events locally for a fraction of the normal costs.

Levassar teamed up with lifelong friend, StubDog’s vice president of operations Paul Beckwith to make StubDog and its ideals come to life. With its grass roots in Texas, offering events in Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth, StubDog successfully launched in Los Angeles in 2008, securing partnerships with The Actors Gang, The Ford Amphitheatre, White Trash Catholic Circus, Art of Boxing Promotions, Pilates Studio City and the Groundlings just to name a few. In 2009, StubDog entered the Big Apple, penetrating New York City’s market with their crowd-pleasing , fresh brand of entertainment offerings.

StubDog’s other notable partnered venues and arenas include (but are certainly no limited to): Cirque du Soleil's KOOZA, LA Dodgers, MLB, LA Wine Festival, Pasadena Playhouse, Key Club, Feinstein’s at Loews Regency, Birdland, BB King’s Blues Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center, BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), etc. Customers are encouraged to sign up for StubDog’s weekly newsletter to keep informed on their constantly updated list of venues and events.
