Summer Schedule Online
PASADENA, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer time is here. Families and friends are looking for new and fun things to do together. Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMCS) is the place to turn to for information on going out and getting things done. With new features, functionality and transactional capabilities, the CitySearch city guide network (www.citysearch.com) can help people plan for their summers easily and quickly.
CitySearch.com is much more than a family of highly-informative city guides -- it's a network of 29 local city portals that provide 'tools for living' to help consumers plan, manage and conduct transactions relevant to their everyday lives. You can find a tennis class at CitySearch.com, bid for a racquet on CityAuction (www.cityauction.com) and even seek a doubles partner at Match.Com (www.match.com). If the date goes well, send flowers via CitySearch.com e-commerce customer Starbright Floral Design -- and buy concert tickets for your next outing through Ticketmaster Online (www.ticketmaster.com).
Family outings and get-togethers can be made easy with CitySearch.com's summer movie and music guides, coupled with its ticketing, e-commerce and reservation services, which let consumers plan their summer fun in one place on the Internet.
Some of the hottest Ticketmaster Online events scheduled for this summer include the Atlanta Braves, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Cabaret, Chicago Cubs, Dave Matthews Band, Lauryn Hill, Lilith Fair, Lion King, New York Yankees, Rent, Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, Sesame Street Live and Woodstock.
Travelers can plan for the biggest vacation weekend of the season -- Independence Day -- through direct CitySearch links to July 4th events and attractions. If you live in or are planning to visit any of the cities in the CitySearch.com network, you can check out all of the celebration activities.
Other getaways can be easily planned, using CitySearch.com's rich content and photographic information to see where you can get the most out of your summer. For example, if you are in to visit New York this summer, start at summerny.citysearch.com, a mini-portal with all of the great features that CitySearch NYC has to offer, including information on the Hamptons, Summerstage, Lesbian and Gay Pride, HBO Screen on the Green and Free Summer Music. If you are looking to visit Wine Country in Northern California or Oregon, CitySearch.com has guides with maps, tips on sights, lodging, restaurants and wines.
Family chores can be made fun using CityAuction. Now, you can clean out the garage or attic, and auction off those unwanted items online. It's a great way for kids or charitable groups to raise summer money.
Moving to a new city? CitySearch.com is indispensable for families who are relocating during the summer months. If you're new to the area, CitySearch.com can help you find out where to go and what to do, as well as lead you to the best stores and services. You can make new friends through CitySearch.com's recently acquired Match.com and One & Only Network -- even before you make the final move.
"Summer is a time for families and fun, and CitySearch.com can help free up even more time for people to get together," said Charles Conn, Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch, Chief Executive Officer. "It's another way that CitySearch is making the Internet an indispensable part of people's everyday lives, allowing them to quickly learn what to do in their local area, then helping them to get it done."
