University's Adams Center
adds new ticketing system
UM's Adams Center has switched to a new ticketing service for events on campus and in the Missoula area.

UM has selected Paciolan Inc., a leading digital ticketing provider for entertainment venues, to provide the infrastructure for regional ticketing, Internet ticketing and box office operations. As a result the Adams Center box office operations, formerly known as TIC-IT-E-Z, are now known as GrizTix.

The Adams Center Box Office sells 300,000 tickets annually for concerts, athletic events and theatrical productions. The new system enables the center to operate a regional service offering ticket sales through retail outlets.

The Adams Center Box Office is now selling online at www.griztix.com. Through GrizTix, Grizzly sports fans, concert attendees and theater patrons have real-time access to the best-available tickets via the Internet. In the future, season ticket sales and renewals also will be available online.

GrizTix features to be added include a "view from the seat," custom-package sales, targeted e-mail notification and customized report generation. GrizTix technology includes a "patron-centric" database that captures individual student, fan and alumni information such as demographics and ticket purchase history.
