As the county transitions into taking over the fairgrounds from management company SMG, it also wanted to look into other ticketing companies. On Thursday morning, Cascade County commissioners approved a contract with VisionOne to provide ticketing services for events and concerts at the Expopark. Cascade County Commissioner Joe Briggs says nthis move will save people about four dollars on a $27 ticket, compared with current prices. Briggs adds, "VisionOne works very much like Ticketmaster in the sense that there's a website people go to and pick the tickets that they want off. But unlike Ticketmaster, we control what the upcharges are. Ticketmaster has a rather aggressive schedule of additional charges that they add to a ticket when they purchase online. As a result, the tickets end up very pricy." VisionOne will begin selling tickets for Expopark events beginning |

Rams Head Tavern"Sweet!" is the word I most often hear from our customers the first time they log onto the ShoWare ticketing system. And I have to agree. From the beginning of the sale to the final accounting at the end of the night, ShoWare is so much more user friendly than the system we used previously. |
