Irvine, CA (July 7, 2005) - GetTix.Net,
a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of publicly held Global Entertainment,
and Paciolan announced the signing of a multi-year partnership today.
Global Entertainment is both an integrated entertainment and sports company,
and an arena development and licensing company with five subsidiaries:

the fan experience and the revenue opportunity. With our core base of
clients coupled with Paciolan’s technology leadership we are poised
for a promising future,” said Richard Floco, President of GetTix.Net.
The new comprehensive ticketing system
enables Global Entertainment venues to sell tickets across all distribution
channels via an integrated back-end patron database. The Paciolan system
also enables GetTix.Net to leverage state-of-the-art Internet-based ticketing
that allows all venues’ fans and patrons to purchase and manage
their tickets across multiple channels.
GetTix.Net will maintain complete ownership
of their fan data through a centralized database including ticket purchase
history, demographic data, as well as attendance data to gain a 360-degree

demands set by arenas and professional sports teams as heavy throughput
of major on-sales continue to increase," said Jane Kleinberger, CEO

solution not only effectively manages ticket sales, but also serves to
provide GetTix.Net with the platform needed to better service their fans
