COSTA MESA, CA – May 25, 2007 – With the 2007 Canadian Football League (CFL) season poised for kickoff, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Tickets.com, Inc. inked a new exclusive ticketing services agreement, extending their alliance for several more seasons to come. In addition to traditional methods for purchasing tickets, Roughrider fans, Season Ticket Holders and Roughrider Shareholders will enjoy new ticketing tools and delivery options to enhance their ticket buying and Roughrider experience.

Beginning May 28th, fans of Canada’s Team will be able to purchase single game tickets exclusively online on the Roughrider website: www.riderville.com. Tickets go on sale at the Mosaic Stadium box office and by telephone on June 3 at 10:00 am. Phone orders can be placed by calling 1-888-4-RIDERS. In addition, fans will also be able to purchase single game tickets or print previously purchased tickets at a Roughrider ticket kiosk conveniently located at the Rider Store at Northgate Mall.

New for the 2007 season, Roughrider Season Ticket Holders and Roughrider Shareholders will be provided with an online tool to manage their ticket inventory and track ticket use. The “My Tickets” feature centralizes the details of managing a portfolio of tickets into a single, online location. My Tickets also enables tickets to be transferred to other fans or guests with a few keystrokes ensuring their delivery by game time. Tickets@Home, a new ticket delivery option enabling online ticket buyers to print their tickets on their personal printer, will also be made available to Roughrider fans in the 2007 season.

“We’re excited to be the first CFL team to introduce this enhanced ticketing online functionality to our fan base,” Jim Hopson, President & CEO of the Roughriders states. “We continued our partnership with Tickets.com’s due to their dedication in bringing innovative solutions to our organization.”

“It is with great pride that we are able to continue growing our relationship with the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club. As we expand our ticket service offering, we will continue to work at being a valuable partner in creating a memorable fan experience,” said Nick Fanelli, Northwest Regional Director with Tickets.com.
