| THE THEATER WORLD'S PREMIER MOBILE-ONLY TICKETING PLATFORM T O D A Y T I X RELEASES ANDROID APP AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD TODAY New York, NY (April 1, 2014) - TodayTix, the theater world's premier mobile theater ticketing platform, has announced today that they have released an Android version of their app. Initially launched for the iOS platform on December 20, 2013, TodayTix is now accessible to over 90% of all smart phone users. TodayTix is available for free download from the Android store at ( "With this newly expanded reach, we are able to make ticket-purchasing easy and affordable for an entirely new segment of the theater-going audience," says Merritt Baer, CEO and Co-founder of TodayTix. TodayTix (Merritt Baer, CEO & Co-Founder; Brian Fenty, Operating Chairman & Co-Founder; Elizabeth Williams, Partner and Theatrical Advisor) is bringing Broadway and Off Broadway into the 21st century with its first class, easy-to-use interface and exclusive concierge service. Offering an unparalleled customer experience by leveraging best practices from hospitality, venture capital and consumer brands, TodayTix caters to last minute ticket-buyers (approximately 40-50% of Broadway tickets are now purchased week-of) and customers seeking a transparent, one-stop shopping experience for live theatrical events. TodayTix, Broadway's first mobile-only ticketing platform, makes tickets to a range of live theatrical events in New York City available to users up to one week in advance, and at the best available prices (with one of the lowest convenience fees in the industry). Unlike traditional ticket-buying interfaces, purchases can be made in 30 seconds or less, with just a few taps. TodayTix utilizes enterprise-grade mobile and payments infrastructure built by leading developers who design for scale and security. TodayTix also offers its users, at many venues, an exclusive VIP concierge service. This service employs uniformed TodayTix concierge agents who meet ticket buyers outside the theater and personally hand deliver their tickets, making waiting in long will call lines a distant memory. In building a scalable platform for venues as well as consumers, TodayTix has partnerships with many New York institutions, including The Public Theater, New York City Center, Roundabout Theatre Company and more. | |

| sounds like a joke! I can order myself on line and select my exact seats. Or use a useless new marketing company that might save me $2 in service charges yet I have no idea where my tickets are. Why did anyone thing the world needed this? | |

| I'm not sure where you're getting "might save me $2 in service charges." Their discounts vary, but right now I could get tickets to Bullets over Broadway from $43-$63 below list price, If/Then for $43 below list price, and All The Way for $48 below list price, to name just three examples. And while you can't choose specific seats, you can choose what section you want to sit in. And the app is free, so if I manage to find a discount there that's better than what I can find elsewhere, I'm literally getting something for nothing. | |

| You can get tickets for all three of those shows for the same prices using discount codes from Playbill.com. That way you can pick your seats and buy them at the box office to pay no fees. Or just pay the Telecharge/Ticketmaster fees which are comparable to TodayTix charging a $10 fee per ticket. This service just seems like it is for people who have no idea where to find discount codes. Don't really see how having to meet someone outside the theater is more convenient than just picking up the tickets at will call. The will call lines are never long, like this release wants you to believe. Plus, do they have to employ one "concierge" per show? I can imagine people showing up late so concierges can't really bounce between theaters to try to give out all the tickets within 30 minutes. Seems like a bit of a flawed business model to pay for all these concierges. | |

| I used the app last weekend for the first time and I was very impressed all around, by the discounts, the seats, and the customer service. I would recommend it highly. | |

| what is the advantage of using this app? i've heard friends speak of using it (they were happy with it as well) but i just assumed they were getting better discounts or discounts to shows with discounts unavailable elsewhere. reading one of the posts above confused me. if the post is correct and you're getting the same discount what is the advantage? thanks. | |
