Yahoo! and Ticketmaster to Offer Tickets to Internet's Largest Sports and
Entertainment Audience

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Ticketmaster (Nasdaq:TKTM) and Yahoo!, Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) today announced a
partnership that makes it easier than ever for Yahoo! users to find tickets to
live events. Yahoo! will provide links to ticket sales alongside event
information on Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo! Music, and Upcoming for sporting events and
concerts in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Ticketing options include
direct sale options through Ticketmaster and its North America and UK resale
partner sites, TicketsNow, and GetMeIn. This agreement allies Yahoo!, which has
the Internet's largest sports and entertainment audience of more than 50 million
users, with Ticketmaster, the premier distributor of live event tickets, and
further solidifies Yahoo!'s position as a must-stop destination for sports and
music fans. The integration represents the first time that Yahoo! users are able
to purchase tickets directly from Yahoo!'s sites.

"Yahoo!'s sports and music audiences are comprised of passionate fans who are
ideally suited for ticketing options within our site," said Jimmy Pitaro, vice
president of Yahoo! Sports and Entertainment. "This agreement is a great example
of how opening up Yahoo! improves our audience's experience by putting what they
want most, in this case Ticketmaster's live ticket sales, one mouse click away."

By partnering with Ticketmaster and its affiliate companies, Yahoo! will offer
its users access to the largest inventory of primary and resale tickets to live
entertainment events. Whether buying tickets to their favorite band's upcoming
concert or finding a last-minute ticket to a ballgame, Yahoo! Music and Yahoo!
Sports fans will now have direct access to thousands of events.

"Ticketmaster, TicketsNow, and GetMeIn have the widest coverage of live event
options for Yahoo! audiences across all genres; music, sports, and family
entertainment," said Greg Consiglio, Ticketmaster's senior vice president,
Business Development. "We want to reach fans interested in live events wherever
they are online through strategic partnerships. Our alliance with Yahoo! is just
the latest example of Ticketmaster's growing affiliate efforts to ensure live
event fans can find tickets to the hottest events anywhere."
