A few of us have been trying to go to Colbert Report live taping in NYC before Colbert goes off the air. Turns out it's a huge pain with their old-school website, nearly impossible to get tickets. So my friend made this handy iPhone app to send push notifications when tickets are available. Worked like a charm. I sent it to people at work as well, and our whole department was able to get tickets. Enjoy!
Can you talk about the stack? How are you getting this info?
Built using PhoneGap and Parse. Quick app that scrapes the Colbert website and sends a push notification when there are tickets available.
Great. How are you getting the word out? Tweeting back at ppl looking for tickets? (https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=colbert%20report%20t...)
