TORONTO, Ontario, Canada – June 23, 2010 – AudienceView Ticketing, a leading provider of advanced and flexible ticketing services to venues worldwide, announced today that the company has entered into an agreement to provide the Wheeler Opera House with a suite of ticketing solutions.

Since 1889, the Aspen, Colorado-based Wheeler Opera House has been the community's premier site for concerts, movies, festivals, lectures, community events, and opera performances. The building has a rich history of showcasing both locally-created performances and bringing nationally renowned acts such as the Eagles, Sheryl Crow and Jerry Seinfeld to the area. The theatre has been and continues to be the "art and soul" of the cultural scene in Aspen.
The Wheeler Opera House selected AudienceView as its new ticketing provider to both greatly improve customer service and better meet the needs of the venue's many arts-group clients. The AudienceView ticketing system will allow the venue to provide print-at-home ticketing, easy connectivity for on- and off-site sales, email marketing integration and online pass sales. Additionally, the AudienceView solution will provide the organization with increased system security and stability.
