Gomez Helps Live Nation Provide Customers With an Excellent Web Experience

LEXINGTON, Mass., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Gomez, Inc. (www.gomez.com), the
leader in Web application experience management, has won a contract to provide
Live Nation with on demand services that will enable it to test and monitor
the performance of its revamped global Web site portfolio, before (and after)
it goes live over the summer. Live Nation is one of the world's largest
producers of live concerts. It sells over 90 percent of its tickets online and
therefore ensuring Web pages and transactions perform well for its online
customers is paramount. Artists Live Nation promotes include U2, Coldplay and
Madonna.

Live Nation will use Gomez's load testing service to test how peak volumes
of customers accessing its site to browse and buy tickets might impact the
end-user experience. Load testing will help Live Nation to find and fix any
problems prior to going live, enabling it to launch the new site with
confidence.

Live Nation also bought Gomez's active Web site performance monitoring
service. It will use this to monitor the performance of its Web sites after
they go live. By monitoring Web site performance from the "outside-in" - from
its customers' perspective - Live Nation will be alerted to any slow or
unavailable aspects of its Web pages and content such as XHTML, images, and
banner adverts.

"It's crucial our Web applications function properly as over 90 percent of our
tickets are sold online. If these online systems do not function properly our
customers will not be able to purchase tickets which would mean a loss in
revenue," says Stephen Williams, VP Engineering, International Digital, Live
Nation. "Various online and offline marketing and promotions drive customers
to our many online properties across the globe. If any of these systems fail,
our ability to service our customers will be severely impaired. In tandem with
this it will mean customers will be unable to find out information about
forthcoming Live Nation promoted events, and worse yet, be unable to purchase
tickets to events."
