PRESS RELEASE CTS EVENTIM: Tickets for musical market leader Stage Entertainment now available on www.eventim.de

Munich, Nov.17th 2011 – SDAX-listed CTS EVENTIM AG (ISIN DE 0005470306) is henceforth handling the ticketing for musical market leader Stage Entertainment through Europe’s biggest ticketing portal Eventim.de. The sale of musical tickets on www.eventim.de has already started as part of the cooperation between CTS EVENTIM and Stage Entertainment. Webshops run by Stage Entertainment, i.e. www.stage-entertainment.de and www.musicals.de, have also been migrated to the Eventim.de platform. For the future, Stage Entertainment relies on the market-leading technology of the Eventim shops. Right in time for the Christmas shopping season, Stage entertainment musicals are thus directly available to Eventim.de customers. Stage Entertainment is famous for hit productions like “Disney’s The Lion King”, “Sister Act” or “Hinterm Horiziont”. Now the company takes advantage of the CTS EVENTIM Group’s comprehensive service to reach even more fans.

After nearly one year, the migration of Ticket Online and its most substantial partners to CTS EVENTIM’s technology platform has successfully been completed. In addition to ticket sales through call centres, retail outlets and box offices, the online channel is of extreme importance to Stage Entertainment. Stage Entertainment customers now have access to numerous advanced functionalities on the internet.

The project was planned and implemented by an online-team consisting of Stage Entertainment and EVENTIM specialists. Malte Blumenthal, Vice President New Media at CTS EVENTIM: “Following this year’s migration in Finland (www.lippu.fi), our launch in Israel (www.eventim.co.il) and the Ticket Online relaunch (www.ticketonline.de), this is another major step in the development of CTS EVENTIM’s position in the online market.”

CTS EVENTIM: ‘Computerbild’ Test Winner

Ticketshop www.eventim.de only provider to be awarded best mark of ‘good’ / Testers praise large range of tickets, reasonable postal charges, fast delivery of tickets and very user-friendly website / Best rating also for business terms.

Munich, 16. March 2010 – The online ticketing platform of CTS EVENTIM AG, www.eventim.de, has taken first place in a test conducted by the German 'Computerbild' magazine. The editors of Europe’s best-selling computer magazine evaluated ticket availability for music, sports and cultural events, as well as performance in respect of prices, customer service, website, terms of business and the provider’s obligatory arrangements for data protection. Seven ticketshops and resale platforms were reviewed in the test, in which www.eventim.de was the only one to be awarded ‘good’ as overall mark. Two providers were assessed as ‘satisfactory’, one received a bare ‘pass’ and three were considered ‘poor’.

According to 'Computerbild', eventim.de scored with its huge range of tickets and reasonable prices, which were almost twelve percent below the average of all providers. 'Computerbild' praised www.eventim.de for its reasonable delivery charges (from € 3.40) and its fast delivery of tickets within an average of three days. 'Computerbild' also considered the eventim.de telephone service to be good and its website to be “by far the best” of all the providers in the test. The website is described as being especially user-friendly. The ticket alarm service, which informs EVENTIM customers by eMail when tickets for their favourite events go on sale, received a special mention from the 'Computerbild' editors. eventim.de was also the only provider to receive the verdict of ‘good’ for its terms of business.
Second place in the test was awarded to the www.getgo.de platform, which also belongs to CTS EVENTIM AG. Here, too, the 'Computerbild' team appreciated the diversity of events and the relatively inexpensive tickets.

For CTS EVENTIM AG, high-margin online ticket selling will continue to be a highly important, growth business. Last year, the www.eventim.de and www.getgo.de websites logged 302 million visitors – almost 70 million more than the year before. Around 13.4 million tickets were sold online – 3.8 million more than in 2008.

About CTS EVENTIM
CTS EVENTIM AG, listed in the SDAX index (ISIN DE 0005470306), is Europe’s market leader in the ticketing field and one of the leading providers of Live Entertainment. More than 80 million tickets for well over 100,000 events are sold annually using systems developed and marketed by the EVENTIM Group. In addition to more than 8,000 stationary box offices throughout Europe, sales via the Internet and especially via the www.eventim.de and www.getgo.de portals are gaining increasing importance.

Review: Livestreaming Fettes Brot

2010-02-25T00:20:00.000-08:00

Hamburg: The livestreaming of the German band "Fettes Brot" was presented by T-Mobile Street Gigs. Broadcasted and/or promoted by Fettes Brot, Spreeblick (excellent Berlin blog), EVENTIM and, of course, TEMPODOME, which managed the livestreaming & interactive playout. Parallel at least 4 radio stations (Radio Fritz, Bremen 4, N-JOY, DASDING) were broadcasting the event. Later on the show will be presented on prosieben TV channel on the 12th of March as well.

Fettes Brot are great entertainers, they have become professional but still with a lot of spontaneous creativity. In short the show was well made, varied, intoxicating and brainy.
But this time I argue that the live live atmosphere insight the Berlin Funkhaus was moderate compared to the fun of the thousands of users who watched the livestreaming. As you may have noticed I'm quite convinced of the Berlin residents, so I have no local reasons... Maybe the "Freundeszähler" generation starts adapting to the virtual live entertainment?

2010-02-22T02:23:00.000-08:00

Bremen: eventim.de just launched the first Google Chrome ticketing extension. The Chrome plugin will present appropriate events regarding to the context of the current visited website. It is a simple quite fast plugin, in the first step myspace is supported, more websites will follow.
The browser war has become much more exciting, especial since we all know that big client based operating systems will have hard times in the longterm future. I wonder how this might effect the ticketig business?

New: Musicload & Eventim Cooperation

2009-12-29T00:38:00.000-08:00

In the end of 2009 Musicload & Eventim teamed up for the ticket distribution. From now on Musicload sells tickets at http://www.musicload.de/events.

There is a new main navigation link "Events & Tickets" and someday all available tickets will be linked to the download shop of every artist.

I always ask myself why well known shops like Musicload have so much advertisement on the homepage, even for goat cheese. Does this mean that the normal shopper does not really use the homepage and goes straight to download? Or do they need every paid impression/click because the download business is not going well? Which would be an interesting business model to run quite considerable media campaigns in tv & print to sell the costly (media conversion) traffic for some impressions on your homepage? Anyway it is not easy theses days if you intend to earn money in selling albums, without hardware (apple) or crosselling (amazon)...

New: iTunes & eventim.de team play in artist promotion

2009-11-06T01:40:00.000-08:00

Bremen - it took some time but now we are ready to officially announce our team play with iTunes Germany. In the future iTunes and eventim.de will promote special artists in close collaboration. Customers who are interested in album and ticket will be offered special promotion packages which will provide either exclusive tracks, rare tickets or special prices. This is a great opportunity for all Artists and Customers.
Background of the cooperation is the awareness, that the live show is becoming more and more important for the artist. The album itself mutates into a commercial for the tour, so a good album is a good tour support. So remember support your Band and buy a ticket, don't climb over fences!

Press Release on eventim.de:

EVENTIM showcases new marketing opportunities for promoters
Europe’s biggest ticketing portal partners with iTunes / Promotion for downloads and tickets / Successful launch with Tokio Hotel

Hamburg, 05 November 2009 – www.eventim.de, the Internet portal operated by CTS EVENTIM AG, will provide concert promoters with new marketing opportunities for the future.

In partnership with iTunes Store, EVENTIM is combining the promotion for albums and tickets, while also launching some attractive promotion activities for music fans.
Downloading an exclusive version of the favourite band’s new album to one’s own PC, Mac, iPod or iPhone, discovering the music immediately after album release and being the first to get a ticket for a concert on the forthcoming tour – fans of Tokio Hotel are elated about the new promotion campaign at www.eventim.de. All those who pre-ordered the newly released Tokio Hotel album ‘Humanoid’ through the iTunes Store will also be receiving one of the much-craved ticket codes. Only with such a ticket code can fans of the band order up to four tickets online and conveniently at www.eventim.de before official box office sales begin for the upcoming Tokio Hotel tour. The Tokio Hotel campaign is being promoted at both the www.eventim.de and iTunes Store websites.
“Concert promoters and record labels have been working closely together for many years in joint efforts to boost the popularity of their artists. Our service is tailored precisely to such cooperation”, explains Malte Blumenthal, Vice President New Media at CTS EVENTIM AG. “We are inviting every promoter and record label to experiment with these new marketing opportunities and to reach out to new target groups. We’re open to every idea”, says Malte Blumenthal. More joint activities by EVENTIM and iTunes are planned for the months ahead.

New: Virtual signature session with Jennifer Rostock

2009-07-26T01:40:00.000-07:00

Hamburg - this week we announced a new virtual signature session with Jennifer Rostock on >eventim.de. Jennifer is a great artist which is really open minded, she really knows how to use the internet. This time we even have a nice intro from Jennifer. The real autograph session will start on Wednesday the 29th's of August.

Jennifer Rostock virtual signature introduction & email alert >here

Our virtual signature is a good case to describe what is happening within the music industry, while some artists, especially managers, describe the tool as honour-less and nonsense, other artists used it to distribute up to 10,000 autographs to fans. It is really not easy to introduce new formats into this industry. An area where creativity and inventions should be daily practice acts unfortunately only within the very old business cases of the existing management. Neverthelesss we are really happy that slowly more & more artists are becoming open minded to new formats.

Those who don't belong to the happy ticket owners can now virtually be with the fans on site. The good cooperation between Melt! together with Eventim and Tempodome has made this possible, the confirmation for the live streaming came only a couple of days before the event but the partners have activated everything so the broadcast can start smoothly.

Größere Kartenansicht
Only a few months ago and the smell of fresh paint still hangs in the air. The team has been feeling at ease from the first moment in the classy premises. Surrounded by a stylish interior there are currently 30 people working in big bright offices. This office is a glassy workplace in a very positive way: Walls of glass allow the view through the whole level, so communication between the colleagues is easy.
Equipped with modern technology it leaves nothing to be desired. Out of the glassy elevators and through the impressive atrium you walk only a few minutes to Gänsemarkt, Jungfernstieg or Axel-Springer-Platz. The location couldn't be better: Hamburg central stations to be reached within 10 minutes, the airport within 30 minutes, the city center just around the corner and the Binnenalster lends itself to lunch in the sun.

Please check out our new one: the German band Selig, they are just great. Sorry for the loading time, it is a small staging server. I updated the staging server with some new sessions from La Fee and Jeniffer Rostock.

German press release, Pressemitteilung:
TICKETS VON EVENTIM NUN AUCH BEI MYSPACE

MySpace setzt auf Ticketing mit CTS EVENTIM / Fans, Veranstalter und Bands können künftig auf MySpace direkt EVENTIM Tickets kaufen und anbieten / Erste Kooperation dieser Art weltweit.

München, 02. Juli 2009 – CTS EVENTIM, Europas Marktführer im Ticketing, und MySpace, die weltweit größte Musikplattform, kooperieren in Sachen Ticketing. Dabei werden der eventim.de Ticketshop und die Ticketbörse Fansale.de direkt auf der MySpace Plattform den Nutzern zu Verfügung gestellt.

MySpace kann so dem hochaffinen Musikpublikum Veranstaltungen, Tickets und Informationen zu jährlich mehr als 100.000 Events wie Konzerte, Festivals, Theatervorstellungen, Partys, Musicals, Sportveranstaltungen etc. anbieten. Zugleich können Bands und Veranstalter die direkte Interaktion mit den Besuchern ihrer MySpace-Seite weiter ausbauen und ihnen gleich "vor Ort" Tickets für ihre Events zum Kauf anbieten.

Für den Verkauf der Eintrittskarten müssen Veranstalter und Bands nur ein einfaches Ticketing-Widget auf ihrem MySpace-Profil integrieren. Der Besucher des Profils wird darüber automatisch zu den Ticketangeboten des Profilinhabers geleitet. Zusätzlich besteht die Möglichkeit, im veranstaltungs- und künstlerübergreifenden "MySpace Ticketshop" nach Tickets zu stöbern und diese dort zu kaufen. Sollte eine Veranstaltung bereits ausverkauft sein, können hier auch Sekundärtickets angeboten und gekauft werden.

Mit der Kooperation unterstreicht Eventim seinen Anspruch, Tickets für alle Events anzubieten - auch im Szene- und Clubkonzert-Umfeld, wo die MySpace Nutzer besonders aktiv sind. Für die Zukunft sind auch exklusive Kooperationen mit Veranstaltern sowie zusätzliche Funktionalitäten für das MySpace-Ticketing-Widget geplant.

Malte Blumenthal, Vice President New Media bei EVENTIM: “Die besondere Kompetenz von EVENTIM beweisen wir nicht nur durch den erfolgreichen Relaunch von eventim.de und unsere Internationalisierung, sondern auch durch zeitgemäße neue online-Kooperationen, für die unsere neue MySpace Partnerschaft besonders beispielhaft ist”.

Die Kooperation von MySpace Deutschland mit CTS EVENTIM ist für MySpace die erste Partnerschaft dieser Art weltweit.

Über CTS EVENTIM:
Die im SDAX notierte CTS EVENTIM AG (ISIN DE 0005470306) ist Europas Marktführer beim Ticketing und
zugleich einer der führenden Anbieter von Live-Entertainment. Über Systeme der EVENTIM-Gruppe werden jähr-
lich mehr als 70 Mio. Tickets für weit über 100.000 Veranstaltungen vermarktet. Neben den europaweit mehr als
8.000 stationären Vorverkaufspunkten gewinnt der Vertrieb über das Internet immer mehr an Bedeutung, insbe-
sondere über die Portale www.eventim.de und www.getgo.de.
