CTS EVENTIM concludes cooperation agreement with Dutch partner

Munich (ots) - CTS Eventim is working together with Dutch retail
chain Totaal Gemak / Tickets will be sold in stores and via the CTS
internet platform / attractive new service offer for ticket buyers
and event organisers.

CTS EVENTIM AG, established market leader within Germany and
Europe in the ticketing sector, has concluded a cooperation agreement
with Dutch retail chain Totaal Gemak. The trial period starts in May
in selected branches and tickets will be obtainable in all of Totaal
Gemak's stores by the end of the year. With CTS Eventim offering its
complete European programme via the tried and tested European
ticketing platform, Dutch consumers will, for the first time, have
access to CTS events taking place across the continent.

This cooperation is quite timely: the ticketing market in the
Netherlands is undergoing radical changes. Thanks to its cooperation
with Totaal Gemak, CTS Eventim will play a key role in the
reorganisation of the market and, by providing a new offer and
improved service to ticket buyers and event organisers, the company
aims to assume a strong position in the Nether-lands ticketing sector
within the next two years. Furthermore, the coopera-tion will allow
CTS Eventim to expand whilst keeping costs manageable.

"This is a further important step in the systematic consolidation
of our market position in Europe and worldwide. The Netherlands is a
very attractive mar-ket with significant spending power. Totaal
Gemak's size and reputation make it the ideal partner for us" says
Eventim COO Alexander Ruoff.

Jan Damman, a director at Totaal Gemak, adds: "We are the right
partners for CTS Eventim because Totaal Gemak offers CTS Eventim a
platform for its expansion plans. The combination of a small
organisation's creativity and a market leader's power will make the
platform a success." Totaal Gemak, founded in 1999, has more than 150
stores in the Netherlands and its annual turnover in 2007 amounted to
125 million euros. Distinguishing itself by the excellent service it
provides, the company offers its customers high quality stationery,
tobacco products, books, mobile phone top-up cards and acces-sories,
as well as postal and courier services.
