Top Ticket-Selling Nightclub Sings Tickets.com's Praises With Contract Renewal

COSTA MESA, Calif. and WASHINGTON, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Tickets.com, a leading provider of integrated ticketing solutions and services, announced today that the company signed a multi-year contract extension with Washington, D.C.-based 9:30 Club. Under the agreement, the four-time "Nightclub of the Year" will utilize Tickets.com's ticketing services and digital ticketing technology to continue providing convenient ticket purchase options to its patrons.

Since moving to its current location in 1996, Pollstar, a leading concert industry trade journal, has awarded the 9:30 Club "Nightclub of the Year" honors four times. The 9:30 Club has also been the best selling nightclub in the world for the past 10 years, according to Pollstar, consistently ranking higher in ticket sales than larger capacity clubs. "I have to give part of the credit to Tickets.com and their ability to sell a lot of tickets to a lot of people. They have been an absolute pleasure to deal with and we are looking forward to more," said Seth Hurwitz, co-owner of the 9:30 Club.

"We're proud of the relationship we've developed with 9:30 Club over the past several years, while helping the club to consistently rank as the top seller of tickets among the country's hottest nightclubs," said Ron Gilbert, Northeast regional director for Tickets.com. "We're pleased that the 9:30 Club has shown their confidence in Tickets.com by extending our contract well into the future."

In addition to ticket sales, Tickets.com enables the 9:30 Club to sell parking, merchandise and gift cards online through Tickets.com's convenient shopping cart feature, which allows patrons to purchase multiple items in a single online transaction.

Tickets, parking, merchandise and gift cards for the 9:30 Club can be purchased through the nightclub's website at www.930.com or at www.tickets.com. Tickets and parking are also available by phone at 800-955-5566 or at any Tickets.com retail ticket outlet.
