COSTA MESA, CA. July 23, 2007 - On July 18, Tickets.com launched a business arm in Singapore under Quebec Leisure International Pte Ltd, the event management arm of NTUC Club. The operation in Singapore will be the country's only franchisee of Tickets.com Inc, a leading US-based international integrated ticketing solutions provider.

In the face of rapid globalization and the world gearing towards an innovation-driven and knowledge-based economy, Quebec is looking to expand its market share by capturing an international audience who is well-heeled enough to trek the globe to Singapore. With the insertion of Tickets.com Singapore, this audience can now buy tickets to a show from any part of the world.

Catering to the less Internet-savvy, Tickets.com Singapore is working with AXS InfoComm Pte Ltd, to expand its physical distribution channels. Tickets will ultimately be available not only from Tickets.com Singapore's 15 physical outlets, but at AXS's 450 kiosks spread islandwide. The intention is to also offer tickets via a non-duplicable SMS code. Ticket-buyers can simply flash the code on-site to gain entry to the shows.

Tickets.com Singapore will replace TicketCharge, which Quebec acquired in January last year.
