TMCNet: RepeatSeat Expands North American Leading mCommerce Solution to Ski Sector

[April 30, 2008]

RepeatSeat Expands North American Leading mCommerce Solution to Ski Sector

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CALGARY, ALBERTA, April 30 / MARKET WIRE/ --

RepeatSeat Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: RPS) will partner with world famous Rocky Mountain ski resort Sunshine Village to trial RepeatSeat's mCommerce mobile ticketing application at the hill. Sunshine Village, North America's technologically most innovative ski resort, will be completing a live test of the application to a targeted group as they review the operational intricacies of putting RepeatSeat's application in place for next year's ski season. This is the first time the advanced technology has been introduced to the North American ski industry.


The breakthrough will allow skiers and boarders to avoid line-up for tickets, moving directly to the lift for immediate scanning and lift access.

"The success experienced in first launching cell phone ticketing in the movie theatre industry has led to our expansion of the leading-edge services," said RepeatSeat President & CEO George Davidson. "Having a progressive partner like Sunshine Village as the first ski hill in North America to allow advance ski lift ticket sales utilizing cell phone purchasing is a significant move forward for us and once again further distances RepeatSeat from all of its ticketing competitors There is a strong demand and growing interest in mobile content and we intend to continue to expand our leadership in delivering true mCommerce applications."

Mobile data services now account for over 10% of Canada's wireless revenues.

Sunshine Village has been at the forefront of the customer service with more than $40 million invested in the last decade to improve the experience for its more than 500,000 visitors each winter season. Sunshine Village Chief Technology Officer Trevor Brydges added: "We at Sunshine continually strive to be the most technologically advanced ski resort in North America, if not in the world, and the addition of RepeatSeat's mCommerce ticketing solution further enhances that goal."

RepeatSeat currently provides its North America leading mCommerce ticketing solution to the movie theatre industry and is now poised to expand that service to other vertical markets, starting with its existing customer base at its wholly owned subsidiary Comptrol Systems Inc. Through Comptrol, RepeatSeat provides point of sale lift ticketing to more than 25% of the ski hills across North America.

The initial trial run of the RepeatSeat mCommerce program at Sunshine is being conducted in conjunction with the movie industry's Show Canada Conference and Trade Show being held this week in Banff, Alberta. Upon successful completion of the demonstration test this week, the intent is to implement the program for the start of the next ski season.
