MySpace Tickets Launches

The Australian operations of social networking site MySpace.com and paperless ticketing company Moshtix teamed up to launch MySpace Tickets (myspace.com/tickets) where users can purchase tickets directly from MySpace.

Artists and event promoters can add value to their event by reaching Australia’s 3 million MySpace users with new gig listings, videos and photos from past shows and forums.

The two companies will also present special events with promoters, and MySpace users can get special offers, including pre-release tickets and special allocations.

Moshtix General Manager Hamish Petrie said, "For promoters, artists and venues this site provides an effective marketing tool to help promote their shows and make it easier for fans to buy their tickets.

"For MySpace users and music fans, we are providing an easy, efficient and safe means of purchasing tickets, as well as a huge forum of interactive content that music fans are hungry for."
