Go ahead and add Lakers game tickets and Jay-Z-Kanye West concert tickets to your "Buy at Walmart" list, because your local neighborhood discount department store just added Ticketmaster outlet to its description.
People can now purchase concert and sporting-event tickets at the Cerritos Walmart through a new touch-screen Ticketmaster terminal, the ticketing outlet announced Tuesday.
Customers can use the kiosks to browse available concerts, shows and sporting events. Once a customer picks an event, a Walmart employee will help complete the transaction and immediately print the tickets.
"By integrating ticketing into Wal-Mart stores, we are able to offer
fans this very convenient way to learn about upcoming events, purchase and take home tickets without leaving their neighborhood,'' said Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard.
Besides the Cerritos location, the terminals are available at 68 other Southern California Walmart stores in Anaheim, Baldwin Park, Buena Park, Industry, La Habra, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Palmdale, Panorama City, Paramount, Santa Clarita, Santa Ana, Torrance and Santa Fe Springs.

Ski-Lift Ticketing Kiosks
Ski-Lift Ticketing Kiosks Allow Sports Authority to Reduce Shoppers' Lift Ticket Purchase Times From Half-Hour to Less Than a Minute
BM (NYSE: IBM) announced today that Sports Authority, the largest full-line sporting goods retailer, is using IBM self-service kiosks to provide skiers and snowboarders a faster, easier way to purchase ski-lift tickets.
The IBM AnyPlace Kiosks, running Livewire interactive software, are installed in 24 Colorado Sports Authority stores, enabling the company to automate a manual system and significantly reduce the amount of time ski-lift ticket-shoppers stand in line.
A recent U.S. consumer survey showed a 50 percent growth in the use of self-service technology in the past year, with 70 percent of respondents saying they expect businesses to offer more self-service options. Of the many reasons stated for using self-service, ease-of-use and less time standing in line are top priorities for consumers.
"This is a perfect example of a great idea that is simple and smart," said David Campisi, president of Sports Authority. "It has been a complete success, and a tremendously appealing program that our customers have quickly embraced. From our end, it's practically turn-key."
In the four months since installing the new kiosks, ticket sales have increased 500 percent over last year's numbers, according to Sports Authority. Also, previously at resorts, customers would spend as much as 30 minutes waiting in lines. Using the user-friendly self-service kiosks, shoppers at Sports Authority are now able to pay for and print tickets for up to 14 area resorts in less than a minute.
Consumer experience was identified in IBM research with 20,000 consumers as the primary driver of loyalty in retail. The self-service ski-lift shopping kiosks were developed by IBM in collaboration with Livewire International, Inc. to deliver improved customer service, flexibility and a convenient sales tracking system for retailers and busy winter resort communities.
According to Livewire, a leading provider of turn-key self-service kiosk technology, its ski ticketing system has been operational for seven years, and is now used in over 200 locations throughout the U.S. ski market.
The solution is powered by the newest generation of the IBM AnyPlace Kiosks.

Philly Ticket Firm Takes on Ticketmaster
ComcastTIX takes over some ticketing venues from Ticketmaster in the Philly area.
Kioskcom Blog � Philly Ticket Firm Packs on the Perks
Kiosk vendors eyeing the growing ticketing industry should take note of a new Philadelphia company that’s taken over some local venues, having replaced Ticketmaster’s system with its own.
ComcastTIX ownership promises more services to event-goers, such as packaging parking and concessions with a ticket purchase. It will also profile users in order to provide special offers based on past purchases, discounts to certain shows, and an easy way for ticketholders to exchange tickets with others by e-mail.
It all points to the complexities — and marketing opportunities — present in the ticketing business. Kiosks are just one of the many technology advancements being used in the industry, and there are plenty of venues, from ballparks to concert halls, in the market for a better way to service customers.

Las Vegas Ticketing Software for online and kiosks
Livewire Lights Up Las Vegas Ticketing. Lower ticket prices and increased customer convenience are driving factors.
York, PA—August 21, 2006—Livewire International, Inc. announced today that its TicketEngineÔ self-service and web-based ticketing system has been implemented by Dan Showsm VIP, a Las Vegas company that produces THE DAN SHOW: VEGAS television show, self-hosted by Dan Sherbondy.
Dan Showsm VIP self-serve ticketing kiosks were recently deployed throughout Las Vegas tourist areas, along highways leading to Las Vegas and in areas frequented by locals, such as convenience stores. This self-serve ticketing system offers a wide selection of entertainment choices, including shows such as Carrot Top, Penn and Teller, and Mama Mia, and adventure activities including helicopter tours. Customers may also place themselves on nightclub guest lists and buy and print tickets to multiple clubs. Secondary displays, driven by the kiosks, present multimedia previews of shows to enhance the customer buying experience.
In addition to the kiosks, Livewire is hosting the Dan Showsm VIP ticketing web site (www.danshowtickets.com), providing the convenience of print-at-home tickets for patrons. An affiliate program is incorporated to allow cab drivers, limo drivers, retailers and other individuals to enjoy a ‘piece of the action’ by directing customers to the kiosks and entering a promotion code or providing links to the Dan Showsm Tickets web site.
Mr. Sherbondy likes to do things “in his own gutsy way”, similar to his television show that showcases hidden camera tricks and other ‘extreme, sexy, and fun’ things to do in Las Vegas. In his search for a partner to create and develop his ticketing system, Sherbondy was looking for a company with experience in delivering tickets via an array of distribution methods and also had the means to support a variety of unique features within the self-service kiosks and web site. Dan found what he needed in Livewire. “Livewire is a boring, but brilliant technology company”, he says, referring, in his typical comedic style, to the company’s robust product offering that “just works”.
David McCracken, Livewire’s President said, “We’re excited to enter the Las Vegas market, and continue the growth of our self-service ticketing and content management network. In particular, this system is another opportunity to showcase the wide variety of technologies we have incorporated in self-service products, web-based ticketing, digital signage, and remote management.”

Will Call Ticket Kiosks In Cincinnati
 Will Call Ticket Kiosks -- Starting tonight, fans who ordered tickets in advance will swipe their credit cards at a kiosk to print the tickets.
|
CINCINNATI — The Reds have launched new will-call ticket kiosks in Crosley Terrace at the main entrance to Great American Ball Park.
They will be in use for all home games, beginning tonight against the Colorado Rockies.
How does it work?
If you purchase Reds tickets in advance on the Internet (at reds.com or mlb.com) or by telephone (513-381-REDS and 877-647-REDS) and plan to pick them up at the stadium, the tickets will be available at the kiosks rather than at the traditional will-call window.
At the kiosks, fans must swipe the original credit card used for the purchase, then the tickets will be printed. If multiple-game ticket orders exist, fans can print all tickets at the same time or select an option to print tickets for the particular game they are attending.
Two hours prior to game time, kiosks will print tickets only to that day's game to speed fans' admission into GABP.
What's the benefit?
"The kiosks not only will allow fans easier entry to the game, they will allow additional ticket windows to be used for day-of-game sales," Reds COO John Allen said.
Can you print tickets?
Yes. When purchasing tickets at reds.com, you can use the "print tickets at home" option.
A valid bar-coded ticket is printed on the home or business printer and is read by scanners at the gates. This feature allows fans to enter the ballpark as they would with any other advance ticket.
