ITP head and shoulders above online ticketing competitors

"We have confirmed, and are actively selling, February's main events through www.itptickets.com" confirmed Walid Akawi, Publishing Director, ITP.

"Both the Talent Brokers, organisers of the Bryan Adams concert and Mirage Promotions, organisers of Mariah Carey Live in Dubai, both of which are scheduled for February, have confirmed www.itptickets.com and toll free dial up service 800 4669 as the online vehicle for ticket sales, and we are already actively selling Bryan Adams tickets. We are also selling tickets for the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Hansel and Gretel opera" explained Akawi, who added that number of event organisers had submitted proposals to ITP to sell tickets for their events, which were currently being considered.

When asked if he was concerned that alternative online operators may dent the public's confidence, Akawi responded positively. "ITP is well known for the quality of its online resources. We operate the leading IT and business website in the region, www.itp.net, the online versions of Time Out Dubai and Time Out Abu Dhabi, and keep over 85,000 UAE residents up to date every week with E-Timeout. We have a solid infrastructure in place, and have been selling tickets online for almost two years.

"We pride ourselves on our online abilities, which we have been steadily developing over a number of years; with more and more events coming to Dubai, offering a far greater choice to the residents and tourists, the future for the Time Out Ticketline looks bright." Concluded Akawi.
