Orlando, Fla. (Aug. 25, 2005) --- SearchEvents,
Inc., which provides online ticketing and reservations services
for entertainment, cultural and sporting events, recently won a
major contract to provide online ticketing for performances at
the Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College. The firm recently
joined the University of Central Florida Technology Incubator.
Patrick Shea, chief executive officer of SearchEvents said the
firm is already working with seven clients from Florida to Montana.
He said he is delighted to secure the Rollins College partnership.
“Internet sales is something we find essential to keep
up with the times,” said Scottie Campbell, audience services
administrator for Rollins’ Annie Russell Theatre . “SearchEvents
made this possible and affordable. We looked into purchasing our
own software but it was not feasible,” Campbell said.
Shea said his firm can offer a client almost instant online ticketing
at an affordable, reliable rate that benefits them and their customers. “All
the client needs is to provide its potential customers with their
own web address or ours, www.searchevents.com,” said Shea.
Ticket sales for Annie Russell Theatre will go online September
12 th.
“We handle the entire sale and fulfillment process over
secure links for the event producer, and we can provide limited
services, such as sales of certain blocks of tickets for venues
that aren’t ready to change their entire ticket sales process
but want to establish online ticketing,” Shea said.
One of the firm’s innovations is to provide ticket buyers
with online views of a venue stage from the seat the buyer is considering,
Shea said.
