Lancaster, PA  (May 3, 2005) &ndash  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 Mediasm.
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&rsquo view to focus on activities in that member&rsquos local region, a stream-lined ordering process with the new ITICKET &ldquoprint your own ticket&rdquo 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.
&ldquoWe are very excited about the redesign of iTickets.com,&rdquo says Brian Smith, director of operations for the site.  &ldquoThese enhanced features put additional information just seconds from members&rsquo 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.&rdquo
Serving up 3 &ndash 3.5 million page views every month, and with an opt-in subscriber list of just under 500,000 online consumers, iTickets&rsquo 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&rsquos local area.
