Online ticket vendor Fandango had a big day courtesy of the US release of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. The movie came out today, technically starting at midnight last night.

That ticket scalper on the corner may be moving online. Well, perhaps not, but the secondary market for tickets has made the shift, and it’s resulted in more reliable and safe transactions for consumers. Companies like TicketsNow.com and StubHub promise on-time delivery, stable pricing, and act to turn away counterfeiters and con artists.
