We also welcome the opportunity to work with more Tickets.com venues eager to explore options with Goldstar Events, as well.” “Together with Goldstar Events, our clients will have an additional resource to move ticket inventory and increase attendance,” states Larry Witherspoon, Tickets.com CEO. “Our clients are our priority, and this relationship shows our ongoing commitment to providing new and enhanced services.” Goldstar Events is the leader in the online half-price ticket industry.
