Familiarity Breeds Concert

About 18 months ago I talked about how you might one day use your remote to download music while it's playing during your fave TV show. I'm kicking myself for not recognizing that concert tickets should have also been an option.

And I didn't even realized I missed it until I read a patent application (20070094688) from Tangital, Inc. for "a network system whereby a digital event ticketing marketplace is created via a television channel."

The USPTO published the patent app yesterday, but the Tangital website says it was "developed over the course of three years." If the screen image is correct, someday you'll be able to test drive the new product at ticketchannel.tv.
