Ticket Buying Made Easier

Ticketmaster has made ticket buying one step easier. Now, on-line subscribers don’t have wait in line at an outlet or on-hold on a telephone to purchase tickets for a live event.

They can simply punch in http://www.ticketmaster.com on the Internet and, voila, they’re in. All that is needed is a credit card.

The service works for most major venues in Western Washington. It also includes The Gorge.

What’s great about the new service is ticket buyers will not only be able to see where they’re sitting, they will also get to see what the view looks like from their seat.

Once tickets are purchased, they can either be sent to a home address or forwarded to will-call window at the event’s particular venue.

Because the service is still in the developmental stages, Ticketmaster is unsure about the volume of purchases it can handle simultaneously. Therefore, tickets for major events like Mariners play-off tickets, can’t be bought in cyberspace until the day after the event goes on sale at Ticketmaster outlets and over the phone. , DataTimes
