Tickets.com Successfully Launches ProVenue(R), the Industry's Most Advanced Ticketing Solutions Platform


COSTA MESA, California, October 8 /PRNewswire/ --

Tickets.com, a leading worldwide provider of integrated ticketing
solutions, has launched ProVenue(R), its new, innovative full-service
ticketing platform. Developed and rigorously tested by Tickets.com, ProVenue
is a turnkey solution and the industry's most technologically advanced and
sophisticated ticketing services product. It officially went live on
September 13, 2008, flawlessly enabling the inaugural on-sale day for fifteen
major shows comprising the opening season of the newly renovated Wellmont
Theatre in Montclair, NJ.

Designed to enhance and simplify how venues sell tickets -- as well as
how consumers perceive their ticket transaction and gate entry experiences --
ProVenue heralds the future of hassle-free, secure ticketing and venue
access. The platform employs a flexible, web-based open systems architecture
and browser-based interface that seamlessly integrates a comprehensive suite
of Tickets.com technologies including Tickets@Home(R), Tickets@Phone(TM) and
the e-communication marketing platform Campaign Creator(TM). ProVenue's
standardized and versatile open architecture also allows the platform to
support a wide variety of third party applications.

"The development and launch of ProVenue is a milestone that's the result
of the concerted efforts of our entire company over the last three years,"
said Larry Witherspoon, Chief Executive Officer, Tickets.com. "I thank and
congratulate everyone for their contributions and achievements. We couldn't
be more pleased than we are with the out-of-the-gate success ProVenue has had
with the initial on-sales. Going forward, Tickets.com is committed to the
ongoing development of ProVenue with the best emergent and breakthrough
technologies, and to expanding the platform's presence with venues and
organizations worldwide."

Tickets.com unveiled ProVenue in January 2008 at INTIX, the International
Ticketing Association's annual conference. A full-service enterprise
ticketing software platform, ProVenue delivers flexible and robust data
management tools that enable venues to establish and maintain long-term
relationships with their patrons. The ProVenue platform's web-based open
architecture enables expansion and upgrades with minimal impact on systems,
simplifies data sharing and allows many different applications to interact
without requiring complex custom business development solutions.

Tickets.com is known for its mission to be at the vanguard of ticketing
technology. Other company milestones include being the first ticketing
services provider to: introduce automated ticketing kiosks; integrate a
secondary market product (Replay Ticket Exchange(TM)); and the first in North
America to implement Tickets@Phone, digitally delivering tickets to mobile
phones.
