Business/Entertainment Editors
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 1998--Entertainment Technologies & Programs Inc. (OTC BB:ETPI), a fully integrated entertainment and amusement gaming company, today announced that it is developing a web site for Vision Quest Productions, ETPI's live concert promotion division.
The web site will include on-line booking services, a calendar of
upcoming events, ticket sales or links to other web sites such as
Ticketmaster (Nasdaq:TMCS) for tickets and venue information, and
links to on-line retailers such as Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN), CDNow
(Nasdaq:CDNW) or N2K's Music Boulevard (Nasdaq:NTKI) for music sales
of featured acts.
Jeff Thornton, division president of Vision Quest, stated,
"Vision Quest Productions does for the military what SFX Entertainment
(Nasdaq:SFXE) does for the civilian sector. We have produced over 400
shows worldwide, including cover bands, comedy showcases and national
acts."
ETPI Chairman/CEO James D. Butcher commented, "Our focus in the
past has primarily been in concert promotions for the military. The
web site will allow us to broaden our scope outside of the military
into more civilian-based promotions and corporate productions."
The web site is currently under development and is anticipated to
be on-line by January 1999.
Additionally, Vision Quest is proud to announce several major
concert signings for New Year's and 1999. Contracts for New Year's concerts were signed with the R&B duo, Christion, and the Pepper Williams Project. Christion shows will be held at Kunsan and Osan Air Bases, Korea, and Naval Air Facility in Atsugi, Japan. The Pepper Williams Project will play at the Marine Corps Base in Iwakuni, Japan.
Vision Quest also announced a major routing in various military
bases in Korea and Japan with R&B recording star Jeffrey Osborne, in
February of 1999. In addition, the very popular rock band Blue Oyster
Cult has been signed for concerts on military bases in Japan in May of
