The Bowery Presents Changes Ticketing Ops To TM
Posted: July 11, 2007
New York (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- The Bowery Presents has changed its ticketing operations to Ticketmaster from TicketWeb, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of TM. In September, it will open a second box office located at the newly refurbished 550-capacity Music Hall of Williamsburg to offer tickets without convenience charges to all of its venues: Music Hall of Williamsburg, Bowery Ballroom, Mercury Lounge and Webster Hall, as well as to select Bowery Presents Concert.

"This decision to move to Ticketmaster allows us to maintain our dedication to providing easy access to tickets and entry into clubs, given our recent

expansion," said Michael Swier, a partner in The Bowery Presents. "Considering our solid history with Ticketmaster as the owners of TicketWeb, we believe they have come to know not only our market but also our commitment to low ticketing fees."

In tandem with its new ticketing contract, the Bowery Presents has confirmed the first wave of September and October shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, which it manages and operates:

September 4: Patti Smith and Her Band (previously announced and sold out)
September 7: Joseph Arthur & The Lonely Astronauts
September 8: Vampire Weekend
September 10: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
September 14: The Walkmen
September 15: Bonde do Rolê with Plastic Little
September 19: The Black Lips with The Selmanaires and Nice Boys
September 21: Les Savy Fav
September 27: Medeski, Martin & Wood
September 28: Fujiya & Miyagi with Dirty on Purpose
September 29: Jose Gonzalez
October 3: BORIS and Damon & Naomi with Michio Kurihara
October 8: Sunset Rubdown
October 9: High On Fire with Mono, Panthers, Coliseum
