FYI>>>>>>INSP increasing its reach..........CitySeats.com and InfoSpace Team to Provide Millions With Ability to Buy and Sell Event Tickets Online Thursday, October 19, 2000 02:50:02 PM - PR Newswire SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 19, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- CitySeats.com, effectively connecting ticket buyers and sellers in 45 major metropolitan areas as the country's largest network of local ticket exchanges, today announced a strategic alliance with InfoSpace, a leading global provider of cross platform merchant and consumer infrastructure services. This extends CitySeats' online ticket-buying and -selling service to InfoSpace's extensive affiliate network of more than 3,100 Web sites. CitySeats has a massive database of more than 22,000 events, spanning all cultural and entertainment categories, covering more than 1,100 of the most popular venues nationwide. "Using the CitySeats.com site, consumers can easily access tickets to any event. People who wish to sell their event tickets can quickly and easily find buyers, too," said Stephen Schramke, CEO and founder of CitySeats.com. "InfoSpace delivers a comprehensive platform of services and information for people across a variety of information devices. So, through our collaboration with InfoSpace, even more people will be able to find tickets online." Rather than having a "tickets for sale" listing get lost among the clutter of newspaper classifieds and eBay-type auctions, CitySeats.com effectively brings ticket buyers and sellers together in a marketplace setting that's the first comprehensive online event ticket Web site ever developed. Why? Because it's a whole new way to put yourself into a seat at any event -- or offer yours for someone else to enjoy. CitySeats.com revolutionizes the way tickets are bought and sold. CitySeats.com's handy, straightforward, technologically-uncomplicated Web site means consumers can quickly locate any event they want to attend, easily compare all the ticket prices available, and conveniently purchase tickets...all from their own desktop, all without paying any service fees!
