Livewire Lights Up Las Vegas Ticketing

Livewire Kiosk announced today that its TicketEngine self-service and web-based ticketing system has been implemented by Dan Show VIP, a Las Vegas company that produces THE DAN SHOW: VEGAS television show, self-hosted by Dan Sherbondy.

Dan Show VIP self-serve ticketing kiosks were recently deployed throughout Las Vegas tourist areas, along highways leading to Las Vegas and in areas frequented by locals, such as convenience stores. This self-serve ticketing system offers a wide selection of entertainment choices, including shows such as Carrot Top, Penn and Teller, and Mama Mia, and adventure activities including helicopter tours. Customers may also place themselves on nightclub guest lists and buy and print tickets to multiple clubs. Secondary displays, driven by the kiosks, present multimedia previews of shows to enhance the customer buying experience.

In addition to the kiosks, Livewire is hosting the Dan Show VIP ticketing web site (www.danshowtickets.com), providing the convenience of print-at-home tickets for patrons. An affiliate program is incorporated to allow cab drivers, limo drivers, retailers and other individuals to enjoy a ‘piece of the action’ by directing customers to the kiosks and entering a promotion code or providing links to the Dan Show Tickets web site.

Mr. Sherbondy likes to do things “in his own gutsy way”, similar to his television show that showcases hidden camera tricks and other "extreme, sexy, and fun" things to do in Las Vegas. In his search for a partner to create and develop his ticketing system, Sherbondy was looking for a company with experience in delivering tickets via an array of distribution methods and also had the means to support a variety of unique features within the self-service kiosks and web site. Dan found what he needed in Livewire. “Livewire is a boring, but brilliant technology company”, he says, referring, in his typical comedic style, to the company’s robust product offering that “just works”.

David McCracken, Livewire’s President said, “We’re excited to enter the Las Vegas market, and continue the growth of our self-service ticketing and content management network. In particular, this system is another opportunity to showcase the wide variety of technologies we have incorporated in self-service products, web-based ticketing, digital signage, and remote management.”
