Tickets.com Brings Advanced Technologies and Tradition of Olympic Service to Launch Ticket Sales for Vancouver 2010

Innovative global ticketing provider Tickets.com brings its most advanced technologies and its unparalleled tradition of Olympic service to launch ticket sales for Vancouver 2010

Leading global ticketing services producer Tickets.com has a long tradition of far outpacing its industry in the handling of Olympic ticket sales. Their track record includes providing ticketing systems, support staff and consulting for the games in Atlanta (’96), Sydney (’00), Salt Lake City (’02) and Torino (’06). Now, as the Official Supplier of Ticketing Services for the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Tickets.com continues its legacy of service to the Olympics and brings its wealth of experience – and its newest and most advanced ticketing technologies – to the Canadian public.

Through the Web site Vancouver2010.com, the first round of ticket requests for the Games begins October 3 and continues through November 7. Tickets.com is committed to working hand-in-hand with the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) to ensure that all Canadians have fair access through officially authorized channels to event tickets for the Games, which take place February 12-28, 2010. Tickets.com will employ its most technologically advanced digital ticketing platforms and security control measures to streamline online requests for 86 medal events in 15 sports disciplines at a variety of competition venues and stadiums.

Noting the prevalence of empty seats at “sold-out” events during the summer 2008 Beijing Olympics, the company is also strategizing to ensure that every possible seat is filled with a spectator. Tickets.com advises Canadian consumers to visit Vancouver2010.com now for complete information on submitting their ticket requests. The October 3 – November 7 window offers the best opportunity for the widest variety of options to see world-class athletes and thrilling competition, and to attend additional events around greater Vancouver and Whistler during the Games.

“We’re so excited to be part of what we expect to be an extraordinary Winter Olympics,” said Larry Witherspoon, Chief Executive Officer, Tickets.com. “We know that for most people, attending an Olympic event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Tickets.com is fully dedicated to assuring that the ticket transaction and event entry phases of that process are smooth and simple to navigate. In addition to providing ticketing services for Vancouver 2010, Tickets.com is honored to be an official supporter of the 2008, 2010 and 2012 Canadian Olympic teams.”

Working with Vancouver 2010 marks the debut of Tickets.com in British Columbia (where its presence will grow in 2009 with the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Port Alberni), and its expansion in the Pacific Northwest, which includes a new partnership with the prestigious Seattle Theatre Group. Tickets.com clients in Canada also include: 2007 Grey Cup Champions the Saskatchewan Roughriders (Regina, SK), ENMAX Centre (Lethbridge, AB), K-ROCK Centre (Kingston, ON), Ontario Science Centre (Toronto, ON) and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa, ON).

A privately held subsidiary of MLB Advanced Media, LP since 2005, Tickets.com is headquartered in Costa Mesa, CA, and has regional offices across the U.S. and internationally. For information on great events throughout Canada, please visit Tickets.com online at www.tickets.com/ca.
