For Immediate Release
GetTix.Net Announces 2 New Arenas Running on Paciolan; Prescott Valley Convention & Events Center and the Santa Ana Star Center
Irvine, CA (11/27/2006) - Paciolan and GetTix.Net announced today that two additional arenas adopted the GetTix.Net system powered by Paciolan; Prescott Valley Convention & Events Center and the Santa Ana Star Center. GetTix.Net now sells tickets for over 50 clients using the Paciolan ticketing system.
With the new Paciolan system GetTix.Net provides both the Prescott Valley Convention & Events Center and the Santa Ana Star Center with increased levels of customer service by enabling them to fully capitalize on their fan relationships. The Prescott Valley Center and the Santa Ana Star Center offer their fans digital ticketing services, based on Paciolan’s Access Management technology. Integrated with their core ticketing system, Access Management provides the arenas with automated ticket scanning, validation as well as on-demand attendance reporting. Fans also benefit from the added convenience of instantly receiving print-at-home tickets through the teams and arena websites.
The Prescott Valley Convention & Events Center is a 5,264-seat multi-purpose arena in Prescott Valley, Arizona that opened earlier this month featuring bands such as Godsmack, Clint Black and Chicago. It is also home to the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League. "The local Prescott Valley region has fully embraced the new arena," said Richard Floco, President of GetTix.Net. "Over the upcoming 12 months the arena will host over 90 events for the local community. We’re excited to partner with Paciolan as we jointly provide our fans with a world-class experience."
The Santa Ana Star Center, located in Rio Rancho New Mexico, is a 7,500 seat arena that plays host to a resident professional hockey team, the New Mexico Scorpions, as well as over 100 booked events in the upcoming year. "The Santa Ana Star hosts top-tier events such as Disney on Ice and Big & Rich," said Richard Floco, President of GetTix.Net. "To manage the demand of an ever-growing concert schedule, along with the demand created by a successful hockey team, the building needed a ticketing system that would allow us to surpass the standards set by our promoters while also enabling us to leverage our fan relationships. Paciolan enables us to achieve both objectives – as evidenced most recently at our sold-out Juan Gabrial concert."
"Our relationship with GetTix.Net is a cornerstone to Paciolan’s overall success in the arena market. We could not be happier about our relationship with GetTix.Net and our ability to jointly serve their buildings. GetTix.Net’s expertise coupled with the power of the Paciolan ticketing infrastructure enables GetTix.Net’s arenas to fully control their relationships with their fans and, in the process, effectively run their business," said Dave Butler, CEO Paciolan.
