Internet service provider America Online and ticket seller Ticketmaster have formed an alliance for AOL to offer Ticketmaster ticketing and personal services to its customers.
The creation of a Ticketmaster box office on AOL will offer AOL users an extensive array of tickets to sporting events, theater and concerts at more than 5,000 national venues, the companies said in a statement.
Ticketmaster sold more than 83 million tickets in 2000 at a value of about $3.3 billion. AOL and CompuServe combined have more than 31 million members.
