ITICKETS.COM LAUNCHES ENHANCED WEBSITE FEATURING THE ITICKET AND A DEEPER CONTENT EXPERIENCE
Firm Expands Partnership With FrontGate^SM Media

Lancaster, PA (May 3, 2005) – iTickets.com, the undisputed leader for Christian event and concert information and for online ticket sales, unveils its newly enhanced and re-designed website and announces the expansion of their partnership with the award-winning media services outlet, FrontGate^SM Media.

Using a rich-media presentation, new enhancements to the site include increased access to event information providing members with the ability to customize their iTickets’ view to focus on activities in that member’s local region, a stream-lined ordering process with the new ITICKET “print your own ticket” option, as well as deeper music news and entertainment content. Membership is free with the simple sign up process. In addition, the straightforward page design features a clearly marked search function at the top of the front page and will highlight expanded articles and news from its sister site, INFUZEmag.com. Event promoters can also add their own events for free.

“We are very excited about the redesign of iTickets.com,” says Brian Smith, director of operations for the site. “These enhanced features put additional information just seconds from members’ fingertips. Through our expansion with FrontGate Media, iTickets.com not only provides more content, but new opportunities for companies who want to reach their target Christian consumer first-hand.”

Serving up 3 – 3.5 million page views every month, and with an opt-in subscriber list of just under 500,000 online consumers, iTickets’ reach extends to every Christian consumer demographic. In addition to its consumer content, the site now provides both national and extremely targeted campaign opportunities via direct email and new rich media on-site banners, and an expanded Spotlight now viewed on almost every page of the web site. Each page on the site features rotating national advertisements for events, products and resources. When iTickets members log into their account, these advertisements also interchange with region-specific information and promotions in that member’s local area.Serving as advertisers’ gateway to the Christian audience, FrontGate Media brings iTickets’ extremely targeted media opportunities into their award-winning media campaign development for advertisers. FrontGate’s media planning services are free to companies seeking ways to reach the Christian audience. Among other accomplishments, the firm was named the #1 E-media Partner for World Vision in 2004.

“iTickets is a great resource for every Christian company who wants to reach either a very specific target audience within the Christian consumer world or the national audience,” states Scott A. Shuford, FrontGate Media President. “We are thrilled to partner with Brian and his iTickets.com staff so that we can tailor advertisers’ campaigns to include the iTickets direct email consumers and web visitors.”
