Admission and venue management system provider OmniTicket Network has been awarded two major new contracts in Singapore.

The company has been appointed exclusive ticket distributor for the 2008 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix and also been asked to supply a complete ticketing and access control system to the Singapore Flyer, the 150m diameter observation wheel which is set to open in the waterfront central business district in March 2008.

A full range of ticket sales and distribution services will be available for the inaugural F1 Singapore Grand Prix, which will be held on 28 September 2008. OmniTicket will also offer global distribution options and true integration of remote selling locations.

“We are proud to have been chosen as the solution provider for the 2008 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix,” said Paolo Moro, President and Chief Executive Officer of OmniTicket Network.

“I’m convinced that our ticketing solution offers flexibility and accessibility unprecedented in our industry.”

Chris Koh, Assistant Director for Sales, Marketing and Ticketing of Singapore GP said: “The planned solution covers all areas of ticketing including on-site sales, call centre, online ticketing via our www.singaporegp.sg website, sales through kiosks throughout Singapore, as well as electronic distribution channels worldwide such as hotels, post offices and travel agents.

“OmniTicket stood out, as they offered us a solution which includes both the technology and services required to meet our needs.”

For the Singapore Flyer, OmniTicket will provide a ticketing and access control system based on its OverView system, which will also feature real time online booking capabilities for travel agents. The installation will incorporate 22 selling stations in a combination of on-site and off-site points of sale.

“We are delighted to have secured the contract with the Singapore Flyer,” said OmniTicket’s UK operations director John Davies.

“The project is unique in many ways and is the most prestigious attraction currently being built in this part of Asia. It will change the Singapore skyline for ever and provide an incredible and memorable experience for all those lucky enough to enjoy it.” Details: www.omniticket.com
