UOMO Media Inc. (OTCBB: UOMO), a multi-channel entertainment
company, announced today an investment in GetTickets E Solutions
Inc., an innovator in on-line and mobile ticketing. As part of the
agreement, UOMO acquired an initial 15% stake in GetTickets, with
the opportunity to acquire more, under certain performance
mechanisms.
"UOMO is driven to become a next generation media and
entertainment company," said Mr. Camara Alford, CEO and Chairman,
UOMO Media Inc. "GetTickets has a business model that marries well
with our company's strategic direction and helps complete the loop
in our 360 degree strategy. They have developed a progressive
ticketing solution that suits and serves the growing business and
marketing needs of promoters and event organizers while keeping the
customer happy. GetTickets has established very strong
relationships with Blue Chip companies such as Live Nation, Bacardi
(B-Live), Rogers Communications and WestJet Airlines, and we feel
that a strategic alliance with UOMO is a natural extension of their
current relationships."
In 2008 GetTickets, in co-operation with Live Nation, launched
one of the first "end to end" mobile ticketing solutions in North
America. The system allows event search, purchase, delivery and
redemption, all from a mobile handset. In 2009 they extended the
mobile to on-line, as well, with the launch of
http://tickets.urmusic.ca/ for Rogers Communications.
"Mobile ticketing is going mainstream quickly and right now it's
a "first mover" situation and we are proud to be one of the first,"
said Mr. Bill Gaskey, CEO, GetTickets. "The investment from UOMO
brings together a series of new business opportunities for both
companies. It is a great teaming of software, content and
marketing. With UOMO we are excited to provide the pipeline for all
their Oil".
