RepeatSeat is Pleased to Announce that Cineplex Entertainment is Expanding its Jump! Online Ticketing Service to its Famous Players Theatres Across Canada
CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, (NAMC) - RepeatSeat Ltd. ("RepeatSeat") (TSX VENTURE:RPS) is pleased to announce that Cineplex Entertainment is expanding its "JUMP!" private label on-line ticketing program to its recently acquired circuit of Famous Players theatres across Canada. The ticketing technology behind the "JUMP!" program is provided by RepeatSeat. JUMP! is currently available in 62 Cineplex Odeon and Galaxy Cinemas across Canada and will add the service to 57 Famous Players brand theatres expanding the offering to Cineplex Entertainment's full complement of theatres across Canada. Two sites will be added before the end of the year and the balance of the installations will occur in the first six months of 2006.

"JUMP! has been very successful for us in our existing Cineplex Odeon and Galaxy Cinemas and we wanted to ensure that we offer the same easy access to online ticket purchasing to the guests who frequent our Famous Players brand theatres as well," said Pat Marshall, Vice President Communications and Investor Relations for Cineplex Entertainment.

Bob Christianson, Executive Vice President of RepeatSeat said "This 40% expansion of our private label movie ticketing services validates our technology and our private label business model. Our transaction-based revenue model will certainly benefit from this expansion to include the Famous Players brand theatres across Canada."

Cineplex Entertainment is committed to providing the best movie-going experience possible for its guests and that includes offering a top-notch online ticketing system. Marshall said, "We wanted to create our own ticketing system so we needed a private-label ticketing partner that had all the services we were looking for. The RepeatSeat system is really the ticketing engine behind every on-line transaction. Our specifications necessitated that our ticketing partner could provide us with a fully integrated, live inventory management system. This was key to ensuring our online ticketing service was user-friendly for our theatre guests and simultaneously the system was powerful and sophisticated enough to satisfy our information and reporting needs. Also, with technology changing so quickly, it was imperative to ensure that our online ticketing system would offer us the ability to add scanners and enable fully integrated mobile ticketing and mobile coupons in the future and RepeatSeat is able to facilitate this for us when we are ready."
