Following an extensive research effort in which all major ticketing providers participated, ISC selected Tickets.com's ProVenue® platform to replace their current in-house ticketing system used at 11 of the 13 facilities. The other 2 facilities, Chicagoland Speedway® and Route 66 Raceway(SM), were operating on Ticketmaster's Archtics software. Chicagoland Speedway®, Route 66 Raceway(SM), and The Kansas Speedway®, were the first tracks converted to the ProVenue System under the new agreement.

ISC and its subsidiaries promote more than 100 racing events and sells millions of tickets annually. Consequently, the company required a ticketing platform capable of handling high volume transactions for major events. "Our goal was to find a solution that will provide a positive ticket-purchasing experience for our fans, with the technology to handle our significant sales volume," said ISC Vice President, Multi-Channel Marketing and Chief Information Officer Craig Neeb. "The ProVenue ticketing system has the capabilities we were looking for. It also offers interactive seat maps, browser-style interfaces and complete system scalability."

"ISC's position as a world leader in motorsports entertainment with demanding ticketing requirements makes this partnership extremely rewarding for us," said Larry Witherspoon, Chief Executive Officer, Tickets.com. The company's selection of ProVenue, after an intense assessment of all other product offerings in the market, confirms that ProVenue is the most technologically advanced ticketing system currently available."

By selecting Tickets.com, ISC will be able to retain centralized ticketing operations for its properties.
