Some might be privy to this if they follow either the developments at **[Topspin Media](http://www.topspinmedia.com/blog/?ref=hypebot.com)** or the marketing efforts of Band of Horses, The Pixies, Eminem, and The Dandy Warhols, among others, but the direct-to-fan platform now **sells tickets**.

In once such instance with **The Pixies**, reportedly, the group started out with an email list that was next to nothing and with the help of the team at Topspin, within a year’s time, they were able to grow it into the **six figure range**. 

Next, in May/June of this year the group booked two shows for themselves at London’s Troxy Theatre, put **6,000 tickets** on sale on a Web site set up just for fans, sent a single email to this newly accumulated fan list, and sold every ticket in a week. *Impressive results*. **Take a look**:

“Then at the venue every single person was checked in via Topspin’s iPhone ticket scanner,” Topspin CEO **Ian Rogers** writes. “Five iPhones got all 3,000 people through the doors in less than two hours.” 

Ian's biggest point and proudest moment, both in the accomplishments with his company and The Pixies: “**100% of fans acquired** via Topspin, **all marketing** **direct-to-fan** via Topspin, **every ticket sold** via Topspin, and **every person entering the venue** after being checked in by the Topspin iPhone application.”
