In Ticketing Leads Concert Industry in Environmental InitiativesSAN RAFAEL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Feb. 28, 2006 -- In Ticketing is a company working to make a difference in the music industry. As the originator of the "Tree Per Ticket" program, In Ticketing plants a tree for each ticket sold through participating artists' online fan clubs. The "Tree Per Ticket" program has become so influential that competitors such as Musictoday have adopted the policy for recording artist Jack Johnson. "Planting trees is a great way to counterbalance potential air pollution from the motor vehicles used by fans and artists' to travel to and from their events," states Barbara Klieforth, Biologist at the EPA. In addition to tree planting, In Ticketing is leading the way regarding environmental issues by printing millions of tickets using vegetable based inks and paper stock from recycled and renewable resources. "Forming a bond between like-minded companies, artists and their fans is beneficial not only in helping the environment, but also in building long-term artist to fan relationships," states Steve Weisz, CEO of In Ticketing. "The more ticketing companies that adopt socially responsible actions, the better off events will be everywhere." Any artist, event, or venue wishing to have tickets printed using renewable resources, or who wish to implement a "Tree Per Ticket" program should feel free to contact In Ticketing, the leading company using renewable resources in the production of tickets for events worldwide. In Ticketing is a top integrator of online ticketing, box office software, on demand ticket printing, and access control services. In Ticketing serves such festivals as Wakarusa Music Festival, Burning Man Reggae on the River and Xingolati as well as venues such as Yoshi's at Jack London Square and The Catalyst. In Ticketing also powers online merchandise sales for artists and festivals including George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, Jamcruise and Sound Tribe Sector 9. |
