Tix Corporation Acquires Exhibit Merchandising LLC
Studio City, California – August 13, 2007 - TIX CORPORATION (OTCBB: TIXC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Exhibit Merchandising LLC.Under the terms of the acquisition, Tix Corporation purchased all of the assets of Exhibit Merchandising LLC for a total of approximately $11,450,000 in cash, (including approximately $3,450,000 for inventory), and 5,000,000 restricted shares of Tix Corporation common stock.
Based in Akron, Ohio, Exhibit Merchandising LLC was formed to handle the affiliated merchandising opportunities that its principals created in Arts & Exhibitions, a partner in the successful King Tutankhamen museum exhibition currently touring many of the world’s top museums. Exhibit Merchandising was able to successfully negotiate exclusive merchandising rights for the King Tut tour, which immediately made the company both profitable and highly visible in the museum market. Exhibit Merchandising was also able to secure a similar contract for a “Pirates” museum tour which commenced in June of 2007. Exhibit Merchandising sells themed souvenirs, memorabilia and collector’s items in specialty stores it operates within the museums presenting the exhibitions. Merchandising and store rights for future museum exhibition tours have been contracted.
Mitch Francis, CEO of Tix Corporation said, “We are thrilled by this acquisition and believe the Company will benefit greatly in three distinct ways. First, Exhibit Merchandising has the potential of generating significant revenue from its branded merchandise sales at the extremely high-profile exhibitions it already has under contract. Second, the outstanding sources for the supply of branded merchandise coupled with mature expertise in the marketing and sales of the products provide the Company with an opportunity to expand the business by offering these capabilities to the producers of top shows and entertainment with whom Tix enjoys multiple-year relationships. Third, as Tix Corporation begins to take its ticket selling business models nationwide, there is a potential for involvement in the marketing and ticketing of the exhibits themselves.”
Mr. Francis continued, “The partners of Exhibit Merchandising, Lee Marshall, Joe Marsh and John Norman have built a fantastic business with an exceptional staff headed by Curt Bechdel directing the day-to-day operations. The entire staff has accepted employment with our Company and Lee Marshall has agreed to be a consultant for the business, actually overseeing the operations. I am confident that Exhibit Merchandising will make a significant contribution to Tix Corporation and greatly enhance our shareholder value for many years to come.”
Tix Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tix4Tonight, sells tickets for Las Vegas shows, concerts, attractions and sporting events at half-price, on the same day of the performance. The Company also offers two additional discount products at its Las Vegas facilities, Tix4Golf and Tix4Dinners.

The Company's recent acquisition, Tix4AnyEvent.com, sells premium tickets to concerts, theater and sporting events throughout the country.
