Tix
Corporation Announces the Acquisition of National Ticket Broker AnyEvent.Com
Studio
City, California
- March
19,
2007 -
TIX
CORPORATION (OTCBB: TIXC)
(the
"Company") is
pleased to announce the acquisition of AnyEvent.com for cash and restricted
stock. AnyEvent.com along with 800/AnyEvent is a national ticket broker with
offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Las Vegas, Nevada that handles tickets for
concerts, sports, and theater events throughout the country.
Tix
Corporation entered into a key employment contract with John Pirample, owner
of
AnyEvent.com. Mr. Pirample has over 25 years of experience in the ticketing
business and will direct this division of the Company.
Tix
Corporation has developed new marketing methodology for the sale of premium
tickets for live theater, shows, concerts and sports events throughout the
USA.
The objective is for AnyEvent.com to provide the sales engine to successfully
market Tix's anticipated supply of premium seating for many premiere events in
Las Vegas and the USA. The sales of these tickets will be conducted both online
and via local marketing efforts.
Mitch
Francis, CEO of Tix Corporation commented, "Tix Corporation is delighted to
welcome John Pirample and his organization, whose tremendous expertise will
assist in creating and executing our strategy for marketing the best seats
to
highly desired events." He continued, "We believe this addition of premium
ticket sales will compliment our Las Vegas same-day discount ticket operation,
Tix4Tonight, where we currently sell more than 50,000 tickets per month. It
is
possible that we will sell the best seats for an event at a premium price,
and
also the few remaining seats at a discount just prior to show
time."
John
Pirample stated, "I am excited to participate in Tix's efforts to develop a
major premium ticket sales machine. I know our 25 years of experience and
nation-wide industry contacts will greatly aid and facilitate this
endeavor."
Tix
Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tix4Tonight, sells
tickets for Las Vegas shows, concerts, attractions and sporting events at
half-price, on
the
same day of the performance. Additionally, the Company's newTix4Stand-byGolf
division offers discount golf tee times for over 35 courses in Las Vegas for
both same-day and advanced bookings and its Tix4Dinners subsidiary offers up
to
50% off entrees at local Las Vegas restaurants and buffets.
Tix4Tonight
has four prime ticket booth facilities, strategically placed at highly
foot-trafficked locations in Las Vegas, Nevada. They include the Hawaiian
Marketplace
at the
South end of the Strip, the Fashion Show Mall in front of Neiman Marcus,
directly across the street from the new Wynn Resort at the middle of the Strip,
North Strip, just South of the Riviera Hotel, and a downtown Las Vegas facility
in the Four Queens Hotel, fronting onto the Fremont Street
Experience.
