Ticketmaster's TicketExchange Selected by More Than 30 Missouri Area Venues Now Providing Fans With Event-Authorized Ticket Resale Service

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 30 Missouri area entertainment venues are now enabling their patrons to resell and purchase tickets through TicketExchange, the event-authorized ticket resale service provided by Ticketmaster. Beginning today, Missouri event providers are able to allow their ticket holders to resell tickets to other fans with the tickets priced at their true market value. Entertainment fans will be able to use the event-authorized TicketExchange service to purchase tickets at the market value price determined by the fans themselves, lawfully, in compliance with the state's newly amended resale law.

TicketExchange is available now for ticket holders and fans to sell and purchase tickets to events scheduled at Missouri area venues including:

   Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City   Beaumont Club in Kansas City   Black River Coliseum in Popular Bluff   Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, including all St. Louis Rams games   Finale Music and Dining in Clayton   Rickman Auditorium in Arnold   Hearnes Center in Columbia   Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau   Sprint Center in Kansas City   The Blue Note in Columbia   The Dubliner in St. Louis   The Pageant in St. Louis   The Roberts Orpheum Theater in St. Louis   Harrah's Voodoo Café and Lounge in Maryland Heights   VooDoo Lounge and Cafe at Harrah's Casino North in Kansas City   Select Events at Mizzou Arena in Columbia   And more    

Here's how TicketExchange works: Ticket holders that, for any variety of reasons, find they are unable to use their tickets, may visit the TicketExchange area of Ticketmaster.com and post their tickets for sale to other fans. Fans looking for tickets may visit TicketExchange to purchase tickets that might not otherwise be available. The TicketExchange transaction is entirely automated and processed by Ticketmaster, the recognized and trusted brand for event ticketing. Fans who purchase tickets through TicketExchange receive brand new tickets with unique barcodes identifying the buyer as the owner of the tickets. Fans who purchase tickets through Ticketmaster by phone or online or through TicketExchange may select to have their tickets delivered electronically via TicketFast(R), Ticketmaster's online ticket delivery service.

"A safe and legal environment for ticket sales and resales serves the artists, teams, promoters and venues that work hard and take creative and entrepreneurial risks in bringing the best in live entertainment to Missouri," said Connie Lee, General Manager Ticketmaster St. Louis. "Fans have every right to expect that they can buy valid tickets in a safe and fair marketplace to the events they want to see, with laws in place to protect their interests and where the terms and conditions set by the event providers are respected. With our TicketExchange service, we are committed to doing our part to create a fair, legal, and transparent market for our clients who wish to provide their fans with the ability to resell tickets if they are unable to use them."
