<p align=justify>Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<p>Sale of approx. 1 million tickets planned in 2001 / increased CTS presence in Southwest Germany with over 120 Tickets/S advance sale offices<p>Munich, 22 August 2001. CTS EVENTIM AG, a leading enterprise in the sale of tickets for concerts, theatrical performances and sportive events and organiser of live entertainment (Lieberberg, Rieger, Semmel Concerts, Scorpio, Argo), is continuing to expand its position as a market leader in ticketing. The group will already be taking over the Tickets/S Veranstaltungsservice GmbH in Karlsruhe in the current quarter, i.e. on the condition that the supervisory boards involved give their consent. As a regional ticket service, the company has business relationships with more than 550 organisers from the most differing branches (music, sport and culture) and is planning to sell around 1 million tickets in the current business year. At present, over 120 advance sales offices in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate are linked to the sales network of Tickets/S. With the acquisition of a 100% participation in the Tickets/S Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, CTS will at the same time be acquiring the sole rights to the use of the name, as well as trade marks under the name of Tickets/S, and also an option for taking over a majority participation in the Timo-Soft Software GmbH in Oberhausen that has developed a leading software solution, especially for the sale of cinema entrance tickets through the Internet. According to respective estimates in Germany, CTS has thereby currently gained a market of approx. 150 million tickets annually, including cinema ticketing - an excellent starting position. The Tickets/S network based until now on the START software, "TicketSoft", is to be converted to the modern CTS software, so that a nation-wide sales platform, including the CTS sales channel Call Center and Internet, is available in future to the operators linked in, and the Tickets/S advance sales offices can make use in future of the entire CTS events content with approx. 50,000 events per year. CTS had already successfully carried out a similar conversion in April 2001 with the Bremer TSC system, where "TicketSoft" was similarly replaced completely by CTS`s own platform.<p>end of ad hoc announcement (c) DGAP 22.08.2001<p>Issuer`s information/explanatory remarks concerning this ad hoc announcement:<p>For further information please contact: Klaus-Peter Schulenberg Dingolfinger Str. 6, 81673 München Tel: 0049(0)421/3666200, e-mail: klaus-peter.schulenberg@eventim.de -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WKN: 547030; Index: Listed: Neuer Markt Frankfurt; Freiverkehr in Berlin, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, München und Stuttgart<p> 220800 Aug 01<p><br><br>Autor: DGAP import (),08:03 22.08.2001</p> |
