Rukkus was a live entertainment search engine that explored 100+ ticket sites, as well as their network of private brokers, to pinpoint the lowest prices for concert, sports, and theater tickets.[1] They discerned the best-valued ticket by using an analytical engine that compared a seat's distance from the action to the price of the ticket. Rukkus also showed stadium layouts for arena shows to allow visualization of one's seat,[2] and allowed users to search for specific events by city or interest.[3]
The company launched its mobile app[4] in February 2014; it was named one of the five best ticket finder apps by iMore[5] and a "genuine leap forward with loads of epic potential" by iPhone Savior.[6] The Rukkus app was free, and featured 2 tap purchasing, as well as in-app music streaming and artist recommendations.[7] As of August 17, 2018, the Rukkus app has been replaced with a new version powered by TickPick.
