STUDIO CITY, Calif., June 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tix Corporation (OTCBB:TIXC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to have a co-branded booth with Expedia, Inc. (Nasdaq:EXPE) at the eBay Live! Community Conference to be held June 13-15th at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The booth will be presented as "Expedia(r) Show Tickets - in Partnership with Tix4Tonight," Tix Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary which sells half-price, same-day show tickets from its four Las Vegas ticket booth facilities.
eBay Live! is an annual 3-day event that attracts thousands of eBay members, industry experts, and exhibitors who get together to share the secrets of success, network, make new friends, and celebrate everything eBay. This year, for the first time, eBay Live! is sold out and a crowd of nearly 15,000 is expected.
The joint booth will feature the sale of Tix4Tonight's half-price show tickets to the attendees. There will also be Expedia.com(r) giveaways and raffles of show tickets and Expedia.com travel.
Mitch Francis, CEO of Tix Corporation and Tix4Tonight commented, "We are thrilled to be working closely with Expedia at this year's eBay Live! show. The Expedia staff has been a pleasure to work with. They are experienced professionals, which will certainly ensure the success of this venture."
Tix4Tonight sells tickets for Las Vegas shows, concerts, attractions and sporting events at half-price, on the same day of the performance. Tix4Tonight has four prime ticket booth facilities, strategically placed at highly foot-trafficked locations in Las Vegas. They include the Hawaiian Marketplace at the South end of the Strip, the Fashion Show Mall in front of Neiman Marcus, directly across the street from the new Wynn Resort at the middle of the Strip, North Strip, across from the Stardust Hotel, and a new downtown Las Vegas facility in the Four Queens Hotel, fronting onto the Fremont Street Experience.
Tix4Tonight's hours are from noon to 9 p.m., seven days a week at all locations. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis with the shows posted on screens at the ticket booths starting at 11:30 a.m. each day.
