Ticketmorphing: Thinking Outside The Box Office
Thursday March 4, 2004 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM
Westin Harbour Castle Hotel

You line up at the bank, you line up for your license. Does buying a concert ticket have to be as deadening an experience? This panel will consider evolving alternatives like subscription ticketing, auctioning tickets, direct to fan services, bundling and online sales, plus technological end-runs like bar-codes and printing tickets from home. Our live committee - artists, agents, promoters and venue operators - will mull over a universe of ticketing options and consider whether they'll work.

Moderator: Kevin Donnelly, President/CEO, Winnipeg Arena & Stadium, MB, Canada

Panelists: Bruce Morrison, Assistant General Manager, Ticketmaster Canada, ON, Canada; Glen Vinet, CFO, Panhandle Productions Ltd., AB, Canada; Serge Grimaux, Director, RepeatSeat/TICKETPRO, AB, Canada; Ken Prue, VP Business Development, Tribute Entertainment Media Group, ON, Canada
