David is among the most respected ticketing executives within the entertainment industry and brings his extensive experience to bear in a role he's had great success in before. I've never been more excited or optimistic about our future."

"It's a great privilege to be asked to lead ScoreBig at this important phase in the company's development," said David Goldberg. "I'm fortunate to able to continue to work with Adam in his full-time role as executive chairman along with the world-class team he has built. We have incredible momentum and opportunities in the pipeline to continue to expand on ScoreBig's first-of-its-kind consumer marketplace where consumers can save up to 60% on great sports, concert and theater tickets. We are well positioned to achieve the company's vision and to increase the already significant value we provide ticket providers and consumers alike."
