CTS EVENTIM now present on every continent  

Exclusive 10-year agreement with Live Nation / Long-term partnership in
Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Australia /  Annual ticket volume
expected to surpass 100 million

Munich, 20 December 2007. CTS EVENTIM AG (ISIN DE0005470306) has laid the
foundation for global expansion of its ticketing systems. The Management
Board today signed long-term and largely exclusive partnership agreements
with Live Nation Worldwide Inc. (USA). Live Nation (NYE: LYV) is the
world’s biggest live events company. In the first nine months of the
current year alone, it has organised and produced more than 20,000 live
events with a total attendance exceeding 48 million. For CTS EVENTIM, the
partnership signifies a major expansion of its market shares in Europe, as
well as entry into the American, Asian, African and Australian markets. The
annual ticket volume handled by EVENTIM Group systems is expected to
increase within only a few years from around 60 million at present to more
than 100 million tickets.

CTS EVENTIM and Live Nation will be collaborating in the field of ticket
sales on a worldwide basis. Beginning with the second half of 2008, CTS
EVENTIM will extend the distribution network already in place in 17
countries to include those markets in the UK, Scandinavia and continental
Europe in which Live Nation actively operates as a promoter or producer of
events.

In the North American market (USA and Canada), Live Nation will license the
EVENTIM ticketing software for a ten-year period, starting in 2009, and
will sell tickets not only via the Internet but also through a network of
retail outlets and box offices. CTS Eventim will also be granting Live
Nation a licence to the ticketing software for the events business in
Mexico, South America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

By entering into this newly agreed partnership, CTS EVENTIM is rigorously
pursuing its established expansion strategy. Within the next two years, the
Group will acquire a presence in almost all the European markets in which
it has been absent hitherto, thus reinforcing its position as market
leader. When Live Nation begins as an operator to deploy the CTS EVENTIM
ticketing systems in North America from 2009 onwards, this will also
generate substantial additional royalties for EVENTIM.

The Management Board will present the details of the partnership at a press
conference in January 2008.
