CTS EVENTIM partners with Anschutz Entertainment Group in Germany

Operator of new Berlin O2 World enters into co-operation with EVENTIM /
long term exclusive partnership for events, venues and sports clubs / seven
digit incremental ticket volume expected

Munich, August 18, 2008 – CTS EVENTIM AG with immediate effect becomes the
exclusive ticketing partner of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) in
Germany. US-based AEG Inc. is one of the world’s largest promoters of tours
and concerts and operates numerous venues in the USA and Europe. The German
business of AEG encompasses major arenas like O2 World in Berlin and Color
Line Arena in Hamburg as well as the German ice hockey league (DEL) teams
Eisbären Berlin (Berlin Ice Bears) and Hamburg Freezers and the
organisation and promotion of events.

Tickets for events of Anschutz Entertainment Group, for their German venues
and for their sports clubs will be offered exclusively over EVENTIM
systems. EVENTIM expects an annual seven digit incremental ticket volume
from the co-operation with Anschutz Entertainment Group. A good portion of
these tickets will come from events in O2 World, one of the world’s most
advanced multi functional arenas with a capacity of up to 17,000 that AEG
has been building in Berlin on the former Ostbahnhof area. The O2 World
arena will open on September 12, 2008 with an album release party of
Metallica, followed on September 13 by a concert of Herbert Grönemeyer and
thereafter by the first official ice hockey league match of the Berlin Ice
Bears and a concert by Coldplay in the new arena.
