NEW CITYWIDE TICKETING PARTNERSHIP RAPIDLY EXPANDS SALES
Vancouver, British Columbia (August 27, 2002)
Tickets Tonight, the only place in Vancouver B.C. where customers can buy both full
price and selected half-price day-of tickets, saw $32,000 in new sales in
one month utilizing RepeatSeat’s user-friendly ticketing solution.
By moving to an on-line ticketing solution, Tickets Tonight is able to offer
both its venues and ticket purchasers a one-stop shop for local arts, cultural
and sporting events, whether large or small. Tickets Tonight, a partnership
between the Greater Vancouver Alliance for Arts & Culture and Tourism
Vancouver, is a successful new initiative that has rapidly grown to become
the one-stop shop for tickets in the 2.2 million person Greater Vancouver
area.
By utilizing RepeatSeat’s on-line ticketing solution, Tickets Tonight had a phenomenal
start-up. Through just the first month of operation (July 2002), Tickets
Tonight sold in excess of 1,100 tickets for gross revenues over $32,000,
and all from just 4 venues. Venue count is
expected to increase to 20 by September.
Lori Baxter, the Executive Director of The Greater Vancouver Alliance for Arts
and Culture “RepeatSeat has provided a system that is compatible with
all independent box offices, from small to large venues. This will enable
us to offer tickets for over 20 venues with minimal integration issues”.
Repeatseat offered the complete solution consisting of web site development, Internet
and point of sale ticketing integration with existing systems, training
and ongoing 24x7 support. The rapid 60-day implementation of RepeatSeat’s
ticketing solution enabled the partnership’s on-line ticketing to be
up in running within days.
Paul Sontz, Manager of Tickets Tonight “Tickets Tonight can handle unlimited
volumes of tickets with the Repeatseat ticketing solution and do this with
minimal additions to its current staff. In only 60 days,
Repeatseat implemented this system.”
RepeatSeat’s flexible and simple platform can be adapted to numerous industries and applications.
Currently, RepeatSeat is customizing the platform to meet the needs of the
North American cinema industry. Vendors will be able to satisfy the needs
of a diverse public that demands convenience, choice, ease of use and value.
