Strategic Alliance in the Ticketing Industry

Montreal, Monday, January 21, 2008—Compagnie France Film is pleased to announce that its ticketing service Tel-Spec, exclusive manager of ticketing activities and services for Théâtre Saint-Denis I and II in Montreal, has just formed a strategic alliance with Ticketpro Canada, a leader in ticketing services infrastructure.

“First and foremost, a ticketing network must be a marketing partner, assisting producers, concert and public-event promoters to reach their potential customers as efficiently as possible,” said Serge Grimaux, president of Ticketpro Canada. “As such, ticketing companies must offer ticket buyers a service that meets all of their needs. By merging their activities, Compagnie France Film and Ticketpro have created a new company that is able to do so.” Théâtre Saint-Denis will join the other Montreal venues that have adopted a new system for marketing cultural products, including Club Soda, the Medley, the Metropolis, the Olympia and Outremont theatres, and three big events: the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the FrancoFolies de Montréal and the Montreal Highlights Festival. Key employees from both companies will handle the new entity’s operations. Ticketpro will be located at the corner of St. Denis Street and de Maisonneuve Boulevard, in the heart of the Latin quarter.
