LiveWire signs Colorado ski-shop customer

December 9, 2003

SPOKANE, Wash. -- TicketsWest, an operating division of WestCoast Hospitality Corp., has signed an agreement with LiveWire International Inc. for the deployment of self-service ski-lift ticketing kiosks.

These units will supplement TicketsWest's existing equipment in selected Colorado-area King Soopers stores to provide additional ticketing support for ski-lift ticket sales throughout the winter months, according to a news release.

TicketsWest Vice President Jack Lucas said, "When we decided to offer self service kiosks, we surveyed the market and Livewire quickly emerged as the leader in the ski-lift ticket industry. Our customers are used to buying tickets at the stores' customer service desks, but the addition of these kiosks will assist us in providing additional customer service by providing increased purchasing services."

Roy Smith, Livewire's President said, "We are excited to be a part of the TicketsWest solution at the selected regional King Soopers stores. King Soopers is widely known as the leading lift ticket vendor in Colorado. Our kiosks will assist lift ticket purchases by helping to reduce long lines that form during peak skiing days."
