Ticketmaster Entertainment's Ticketweb Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary

LONDON, February 5/PRNewswire/ -- TicketWeb, a Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:TKTM)
operating business, is proud to celebrate 10 years as the UK's leading
self-service, fully functioned box office service.

In 1999 TicketWeb began with a team of eight above a venue in
Brixton and introduced self service ticketing to the UK market place with an
alternative hands on approach to managing ticketing needs. Originally
launched in the UK as a box office technology provider to the then McKenzie
Group owned Brixton Academy and Shepherds Bush Empire, TicketWeb continued to
grow and develop in its independence. Ten years later, TicketWeb is now one
of the leading ticket agencies in the UK. Importantly TicketWeb has
maintained a close working relationship with its original client what has now
become the Academy Music Group, together with an ever increasing client list
across the UK entertainment sector.

The self-service functionality and versatile client branded
online ticketing service that worked successfully with the McKenzie Group
quickly found a wider client base. Acquired by Ticketmaster in May 2000, the
TicketWeb team have maintained the original business plan of providing keen
service charges in an often lower face value ticket market whilst embracing
the wider technological and marketing advantages that its parent company
Ticketmaster provides. TicketWeb now offers clients a 24-hour phone sales
facility and access control systems in the form of eEntry or AccessManager.
TicketWeb also provides TicketFast, the print-at-home ticket delivery
solution; MailManager, the online email marketing tool; Mobile Ticket
purchase, the client branded WAP service; and a sophisticated marketing and
distribution reach to a customer database of millions.

TicketWeb would like to thank its many clients, in particular;
Fabric, The Halfmoon Putney, Avalon, DMP Promotions, Fabric, Hooch, Hoxton
Pimps, the Leadmill, Montana Concerts, Metropolis Music, Plum Promotions, the
Scala, Serious and the Underworld in Camden, who all sold tickets, some for
the first time, through the original TicketWeb platform back in 1999 and
continue to do so in 2009.

Chris Edmonds, Managing Director of TicketWeb and
Ticketmaster, said, "We are delighted to be celebrating the 10 year
anniversary of TicketWeb in 2009. We would like to thank our many clients for
their amazing support over the years and we look forward to delivering a
further 10 years of innovative service. The TicketWeb team has every right to
be proud of their achievements"
