Tickets.com to Provide Advanced Ticketing Solutions for Acclaimed Seattle
Theatre Group

COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Tickets.com, a leading worldwide
provider of integrated ticketing solutions, has signed the prestigious Seattle
Theatre Group as a new client. Seattle Theatre Group is a non-profit
performing arts organization that operates two historic venues, the Paramount
Theatre and Moore Theatre. Under the freshly inked long term agreement, the
Seattle-based group will utilize ProVenue(R), the newest and most advanced
ticketing system from Tickets.com, for its ticketing operations at both
locations.

"Seattle Theatre Group is a respected organization that maintains its
commitment to preserving both of its theatres with extraordinary programming
as well as outstanding community and educational outreach," said Larry
Witherspoon, chief executive officer, Tickets.com. "We're honored to have the
opportunity to provide them with leading-edge ticketing solutions, so that
patrons of these legendary venues can have the best possible experience, from
point of purchase through curtain call."

Built with funds from pioneering Hollywood film studio Paramount Pictures and
opened as the Seattle Theatre in 1928, the 2,807-seat Paramount adopted its
new name in 1930, operating as a golden-era movie palace and home to
theatrical stage shows. The 1,419-seat Moore Theatre opened its doors in 1907
as a premier vaudeville showplace, and is the oldest operating theatre in
Seattle. Today, both venues, which continue to rank in Pollstar's Top 100
Worldwide Theatre Venues, present a mix of concerts, live entertainment,
Broadway touring engagements, theater productions, speakers' series, and more.
With the new ticketing services contract, Tickets.com continues to expand its
high profile performing arts client list.

In addition to the advanced ProVenue(R) ticketing solution that maximizes
transaction speed, efficiency and flexibility, the Seattle Theatre Group will
employ innovative Tickets.com technologies such as the latest in mobile ticket
delivery functionality, Tickets@Phone(TM). Other software products and
features include: Access Control, Tickets@Home(R), and local area kiosks to
provide patrons with on-demand ticket printing, delivery, and management.
Tickets are also available at STGpresents.org or by calling 1-877-STG-4TIX.

"Given Tickets.com's reputation for innovation in the marketplace, we are
confident that we'll be able to continuously offer the best and most advanced
