Orlando, Fla. - Sept. 22, 2005 -- SearchEvents, Inc., which
provides online ticketing and reservations services for entertainment,
cultural and sporting events, recently won a contract to
provide online ticketing services for St. Andrews Private
School in Boca Raton. The technology firm is a client
of the University of Central Florida Technology Incubator.
St. Andrews is a privately held school that recently
built a brand new three hundred seat auditorium. They
are using the SearchEvents' TIXtoday Professional package
which gives them the flexibility to sell season tickets,
individual tickets, group sales and internet tickets
all in one real-time software. Patrick Shea, chief executive
officer of SearchEvents, said schools need a box office
for the 21st Century and that is exactly what SearchEvents
provides..
SearchEvents is already working with eight clients from Florida to Montana and
was recently awarded a contract to provide online ticketing solutions for the
Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College in Winter Park.
Shea said SearchEvents is providing a special offer to all Florida Public
Schools, "For
tickets selling for $10 or less, SearchEvents will provide online ticketing services
to any public school at no cost."
"Our schools, public and private, are the most important institutions of our
country. They should have the ability to track and sell tickets to their events
as cost effectively as professional organizations," said Shea.
Shea said SearchEvents can offer paying clients almost instant online ticketing
at an affordable, reliable rate that benefits them and their customers. "All
the client needs to provide their customers is a web address, either theirs or
ours at www.searchevents.com", Shea explained. "We handle the entire
sale and fulfillment process over secure links for the event producer."
SearchEvents can also provide limited specialized services, such as sales
of certain blocks of tickets, for venues that want to establish online
ticketing but aren't yet ready to change over their entire ticket sales
process. One
of the firm's innovations is to provide tickets buyers with on-line views
of a venue stage from the seat the buyer is considering, Shea said.
