    Google, Yahoo!, Outperformed by Ticket Listing Service

    London, United Kingdom - July 3, 2007 - TickEx UK-based search engine for online ticket sales, has reported outperforming the searching and listing experience of major search engines, such as Google and Yahoo!, by indexing over 2,000,000 event tickets, searchable through its UK-based website.

    Richard Robinson, CEO of TickEx remarked, "Simply put, we are far ahead of Google, Yahoo! and all of the other major search engines in terms of the ticket buyer's experience and value for ticket sellers. Not only do we have more tickets for sale than anyone else in Britain, but unlike the Google model we drive qualified buyers at a price point that makes sense. The Google model is great -- if you're Google. For everyone else it's a broken experience. Ranked results are largely irrelevant, and paid results are dominated by high-margin secondary market sellers."

    Billed as Britain's top new-generation vertical search engine, which launched less than two months ago, allows users to use vertical search features that let them browse and compare tickets they find through artist, venue, cost, date and seat location searches.

    Mr. Robinson continued, "Targeted vertical search is far more economically viable for ticket sellers, who can pay250 pounds or more per new customer -- whose lifetime value is closer to 100 pounds-- using Google. In essence, every time they sell a ticket through pay-per-click in a general search engine they lose money. Our model is based on providing the ticket buyer with the best ticket search experience and providing qualified leads at a cost that most search engines simply can't match."

    TickEx is a London-based company specializing in vertical search solutions that endeavors to deliver quality search results, while allowing users to list, search and compare pricing on products through a sophisticated search and publishing platform. The company was founded in 2006 and is backed by private investors.

    With the largest index of websites available on the World Wide Web and the industry's most advanced search technology, Google Inc. delivers the fastest and easiest way to find relevant information on the Internet. Google's technological innovations have earned the company numerous industry awards and citations, including two Webby Awards; two WIRED magazine Readers Raves Awards; Best Internet Innovation and Technical Excellence Award from PC Magazine; Best Search Engine on the Internet from Yahoo! Internet Life; Top Ten Best Cybertech from TIME magazine; and Editor's Pick from CNET. A growing number of companies worldwide, including Yahoo! and its international properties, Sony Corporation and its global affiliates, AOL/Netscape, and Cisco Systems, rely on Google to power search on their websites. A privately held company based in Mountain View, Calif., Google's investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers and Sequoia Capital.
