Historic Wellmont Theatre Partners with Tickets.com for Advanced Ticketing Solutions

Costa Mesa, CA - September 15, 2008 - Tickets.com, a leading worldwide provider of integrated ticketing solutions, announced a long-term partnership with Montclair Entertainment, LLC, to provide a full suite of ticketing services for the historic Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey. Currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation, the former movie house is slated for a grand re-opening in October 2008 as a concert venue and multi-purpose entertainment facility.  

Under the new agreement, Montclair Entertainment will employ the cutting edge ProVenue® integrated ticketing solution from Tickets.com that maximizes transaction speed, convenience and flexibility. In addition, it will utilize advanced ticketing technologies including Tickets@Home® and Tickets@Phone™ for ticket delivery, as well as Campaign Creator™, a comprehensive e-Communication platform exclusively offered to Tickets.com clients. Upcoming events at Wellmont Theatre include Al Green, Matisyahu, Steely Dan and Tony Bennett. Tickets are now available through the venue’s web site at www.wellmonttheatre.com and at www.tickets.com., or by phone at 877-WLLMNT (877-935-5668).  

“As our grand opening approaches, we’re confident that our partnership with Tickets.com will provide our customers with an exceptional ticketing experience every time,” said veteran promoter Andy Feltz, principal of Montclair Entertainment and a Montclair resident formerly with NYC’s Beacon Theatre. “I am impressed by Tickets.com’s commitment to developing and offering breakthrough technologies to its clients.”

Less than 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, the Wellmont first opened its doors as a theatre in 1922. It was turned into a movie house in 1929 and later converted into a triplex cinema during the 1970s before closing its doors in 2006.  The overhaul of the storied venue involves removing all seating from the main floor and installing state-of-the-art sound, lighting and recording systems. This will allow the Wellmont to be used for Internet, television and radio broadcasts, as well as concerts and live events. The facility is expected to become a world class entertainment venue that will also be integrated into the thriving local arts and civic communities.

"We’re extremely excited about our alliance with Andy Feltz and the new Montclair Entertainment group,” said Brian Roberts, vice president of sales, Tickets.com.  “The restored Wellmont Theatre will be an extraordinary showplace in a prime location. We applaud the revitalization of this great building, and we are proud to be providing innovative ticketing technologies that will significantly enhance the event experience for Montclair Entertainment and its patrons.”
