    Just to be clear I don’t own one .tickets domain nor do I plan on registering one.

    Don’t own the registry and don’t own any shares of Centralnic

    30,000 “premium” domains? And people wonder why entrepreneurs are so disheartened by one of the major (and false) promises of the new gTLD program: availability of a good domain.
