04/11/2003 - Las Vegas Debuts New Entertainment Booking System

ORLANDO, Fla., April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Visitors to Las Vegas are purchasing their show, concert and attraction tickets using a revolutionary new ticketing and reservation system from Cygnus Entertainment, Inc. Visitors can purchase eTickets online and collect them using an automated will-call system called ceTicket®, or purchase tickets through a variety of self-serve and box office locations when they arrive.
The system is so advanced that veteran travel agency Prestige Travel has signed an exclusive licensing agreement for use of Cygnus' ceStation(TM) box office sales system, which will be rolled out to its own ticketing agency Prestige Ticketing, as well as to top Las Vegas concert halls and showrooms. Terms of the deal include exclusive use of Cygnus' ceStation(TM) product in the Las Vegas market and non-exclusive rights to all other Cygnus e-commerce and sales-automation products.

"This deal brings together great local market experience with advanced sales technologies in one of the world's largest travel and entertainment markets," said Charles Stewart, President of Cygnus Entertainment. "As our first exclusive licensee, this event marks a significant point in Cygnus' history. We are all confident that the alliance between our two companies will greatly benefit the Las Vegas travel and entertainment market."

"Combining Prestige Travel with Cygnus Entertainment's technology not only provides sophisticated box office technology, 24-hour ticket kiosks, and e-commerce tools, it fully integrates with any lodging management system in Las Vegas," said Leo Falkensammer Jr., Vice President of Prestige Travel. "We are committed to serving our millions of clients with the best travel services for Las Vegas."
