SAN DIEGO -- SYS Technologies (OTCBB:SYYS) has created a new division, the Walk-Up Systems' Division, to market automated kiosk ticketing systems to the North American consumer show industry.

According to a news release, the new division already signed a letter of agreement with Ticketmaster Canada LTD's IATS division, which will help promote the electronic ticketing system to consumer shows in Canada and the U.S.

Under the terms of the agreement, SYS Technologies will market IATS's Consumer Show Ticketing System (CSTS) and Ticketmaster's related Internet services, which include advanced e-ticketing and advanced e-mail notification, with SYS Technologies' automated ticketing kiosk and on-site digital advertising systems.

According to the release, the SYS Technologies and IATS systems have been used successfully in recent trials held in Toronto.

Also according to the release, both companies expect to provide ticketing support at a minimum of six shows between now and June 30. Cities mentioned in the release are Toronto, Orlando, Fla., Boston and Los Angeles.

Clifton Cooke, president and chief operating officer of SYS Technologies, said in the release, "The total system provides shorter lines for consumers, enhanced fee accountability for show management and more effective traffic flow for the venue management."
