Rio Tinto Stadium Launches Veritix' Innovative FlashSeats™ Technology

Utah's world-class sports and entertainment venue, Rio Tinto Stadium, has partnered with Veritix, the industry leader in end-to-end electronic ticketing and relationship marketing applications, to provide its revolutionary FlashSeats™ paperless ticketing technology for several Stadium events. FlashSeats™ will launch in time for the 2009 Real Salt Lake regular-season, allowing Rio Tinto Stadium and RSL to present a convenient paperless method of ticket delivery to the venue's customers and fans. The FlashSeats™ website for purchasing tickets to the Eagles' May 9 concert - the first ever concert at the new Sandy venue - is now live at riotintostadium.flashseats.com, while the opportunity for customers to digitally manage tickets for other Rio Tinto Stadium events will be added in the near future.

Veritix' innovative Flash Seats™ paperless technology eliminates the need for a ticket holder to carry a paper ticket for venue access. Instead, customers enter one or more credit card numbers into an online account, and use any of those as identification to enter the event. Upon arriving at Rio Tinto Stadium - the first MLS venue to provide the Flash Seats™ system - customers simply swipe their credit card through a hand-held device, which prints a colorful, commemorative seat locator. The entire process allows fans quick access into the Stadium without the concern of forgotten, lost or stolen tickets, offering for the first time an end-to-end paperless ticketing method to customers in both the primary and secondary marketplaces.
