Since its introduction, FanSnap has expanded to have deals with dozens of different ticket providers (including the big name sellers and places like eBay), thereby bringing their information directly into the site. That means you can check out who’s performing where, look at a map of the actual venue to see which seats are available and how much they cost, and — here’s where the service really shines — do a side-by-side comparison of ticket availability and pricing from different providers, all on the same screen.

You can actually order the tickets right from the site as well.

Today’s post-beta opening comes with a refreshed site design, which boasts a faster search system and a handful of other new features.

FanSnap’s founders, Mike Janes and Mark Towfiq, previously worked at StubHub and Flock, respectively. Janes also previously served as GM of Apple’s online Apple Store. Apple VP of Internet Services Eddy Cue is now on the company’s advisory board as well.

We gave FanSnap the thumbs-up when we initially reviewed it, and its progress since the fall only makes the service stronger. This is one of those startups worth keeping an eye on.

First Katie Holmes was bringing in a dismal number of All My Sons sales (presumably in part from her husband scaring people away), but it look like She’s Back. According to Variety, things aren’t as bad as they might seem. They claim that All My Sons is “selling just fine“:

“However, if the advance figure released by producer Eric Falkenstein is accurate, “All My Sons” looks to rank alongside “Equus” as one of the fall season’s biggest nonmusical box office performers.”

What? Really?! It’s too bad that this report comes waaay too late for anyone to believe it. Then again, these anti-Scientology protesters might do the trick in terms of publicity. Things could turn around after all!

Will you watch Katie on Broadway?
