Tickets.com In the News - Venues Today

INTIX (INTERNATIONAL TICKETING ASSOCIATION) JAN. 29 — FEB. 1

CHICAGO —Tickets.com and Ticketmaster also launched new products at this year’s conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago, the largest since 2001 with 785 attendees and over 100 exhibitor representatives. Making an even larger presence were members of the secondary and ticket broker community including Gary Adler, general counsel for the National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB).

Tickets.com launched three new software products at this year’s conference including ProVenue, a web-based ticketing platform for box office managers that took two-and-a-half years to develop. Tickets.com is beta-testing the software at six locations.

“It has a common use throughout and is very simplistic throughout,” CEO Larry Witherspoon said. “Where we had training cycles that took weeks, we’re now down to training cycles that take four-to-five hours. People are used to using a web browser, and this software is very intuitive.”
