San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 23, 2010 — Eventbrite, the fastest growing social commerce company, today announced Eventbrite for Causes, a new program that makes it easier for non-profits to leverage technology and best practices to manage, promote, and raise money through successful events. The program, which includes a special non-profit rate, is open to all US-based non-profits with 501(c)(3) status.
Eventbrite for Causes is already used by a number of organizations such as the Craigslist Foundation, the Full Circle Fund, as well as a number of Haiti earthquake relief efforts. “Using Eventbrite for Craigslist Foundation’s 6th Annual Boot Camp was a great experience,” said Arthur Coddington, senior program manager at the Craigslist Foundation. “Nonprofit organizations of all sizes will benefit from the ease of use, cost effectiveness, and comprehensive feature set, not to mention great customer service.”
Eventbrite provides an easy-to-use, elegant and simple way to handle all aspects of the event management process, creating a social commerce platform that empowers event holders of any size or scale to more easily and effectively reach the people that care about their events. Non-profits who use Eventbrite are able to easily collect donations online, spread the word to promote the event through a multitude of social channels, and track the event’s progress with real-time tracking and reporting.
Additionally, participating non-profits gain access to a community-at-large resource portal that connects them with other non-profits for best practices discussion. This creates a knowledge base of expert advice, dedicated newsletters, instruction on the use of technology and tips intended to help non-profits take full advantage of Eventbrite.
“Given the difficult fundraising climate, managing and hosting successful events is becoming more important to non-profits’ development efforts. However, they often lack the internal resources, technical know-how, or use of the web for promotion and fundraising efforts to achieve these goals,” said Kevin Hartz, CEO of Eventbrite. “Eventbrite for Causes renews our commitment to this community and empowers non-profits with a set of tools and resources to take their events to the next level.”
Eventbrite for Causes partners with other companies such as Salesforce, Google, PayPal, and Mailchimp who are dedicated to empowering non-profits to leverage technology to achieve their goals. For more information about Eventbrite for Causes, visit http://www.eventbrite.com/npo

LOS ANGELES, CA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) February 3, 2010 - Frederic C. Rosen, the former President and CEO of Ticketmaster Group, Inc. from 1982 to 1998, has joined Englander Knabe & Allen (EK&A) as a senior counselor.
“Under Fred Rosen’s leadership, Ticketmaster was transformed into a small startup ticketing company with under $1 million in annual ticket sales in 1982 into the world’s leading computerized ticketing service — with a powerful global brand synonymous with ticketing, a pioneering internet presence and more than $2.4 billion in annual ticket sales.
“Fred brings a critical element to our litigation and crisis practice, since he can help the ‘C’ suite navigate challenging situations. Fred will provide strategic counsel to clients on a range of issues, with particular focus on reputation and crisis management, litigation support and financial communications. The combination of media relations, crisis management, and public relations has always been a crucial part of litigation strategy. Increasingly, CEOs are recognizing how critical it is to combine the best legal counsel with the best professional public relations and Fred will play a critical role in our crisis and litigation communications practice,” said managing partner Harvey A. Englander.
EK&A’s Reputation Management service covers the full spectrum of CEO and corporate reputation issues — creating and maintaining an enduring reputation to recovering reputation following a crisis.
In addition to being a senior counselor for EK&A, Mr. Rosen serves as a director of a number of non-profit organizations. Among his many community and philanthropic interests in Los Angeles, he is a Board member of the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission; Board member of the Wallis Annenberg Cultural Center in Beverly Hills and a Member of the Board of Governors of Cedars Sinai Medical Center, and was a trustee of Crossroads School for 16 years.
Over the years, Mr. Rosen has been recognized for both his philanthropic activities and entrepreneurship, including receiving the City of Hope’s “Spirit of Life” Award in 1994; the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1993; University of Southern California’s “Entrepreneur of the Year” award in 1989; he was honored by the Actor’s fund in 1997; and received the Social Concern Award from the American Jewish Committee in 1997. Mr. Rosen graduated from Clark University in June 1965 and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in June 1969. He was admitted and became a member of the New York State Bar in November 1969 and practiced law in New York City from 1972 to 1982.
Englander Knabe & Allen’s client roster includes companies such as Westfield, Motorola, Downey Hospital, LegalZoom, AT&T and the Los Angeles Police Protective League. EKA provides strategic counsel to clients on a wide range of issues, with particular focus on, and experience in, reputation and crisis management, litigation support, public affairs, government advocacy, media relations, community relations, financial communications and marketing material development.

London, ENG (YESpay, Spektrix) 8 February 2010 - Theatres and other arts venues are increasingly deciding to move away from traditional, locally hosted ticketing and payment solutions by outsourcing their payment processing services and moving to web-based ticketing solutions. Leading box-office solution provider, Spektrix, have
joined hands with YESpay International Ltd to assist theatres nationwide with their ticketing and payment processing requirements.
Increasing pressures for PCI compliancy have lead to high associated costs and issues which are difficult to overcome when managing systems in-house. Spektrix has developed a fully supported, redundant and resilient ticketing solution, which meets these challenges. It is fully integrated with YESpay’s EMBOSS solution, which is end-to-end pre-accredited and fully PCI compliant removing the responsibility of arts venues to go through the time-consuming and costly accreditation process themselves.
Another challenge that theatres face when managing payments in-house is the high costs
accumulated by investing in and managing expensive hardware. The Spektrix/YESpay solution eradicates this need as the service is entirely outsourced.
Phil Norris General Manager of the ADC Theatre in Cambridge has commented on his choice of the Spektrix/YESpay solution, “We wanted a fast, reliable and easy-to-use box office system that removed the need for large amounts of IT hardware and was up-to-date with PCI compliancy.”
As e-commerce is becoming increasingly popular among arts venues, easy integration to existing websites is required. The Spektrix and YESpay solution offers easy integration to both e-commerce sites and Chip & PIN devices, putting it at the forefront of fully-integrated ticketing and payment solutions in the UK.
Clare Moss, Box Office Manager at the Bush Theatre says, “We have been so impressed with the approach, integration and support provided by Spektrix and YESpay that we are encouraging other venues we work closely with to consider the solution.”
About Spektrix
Spektrix is an innovative and fully-featured hosted ticketing solution for the arts. Spektrix helps venues to increase audiences through seamlessly integrated online sales and powerful CRM functionality. With no upfront costs and true scalability, Spektrix is suitable for venues of all sizes.
Spektrix was set up to fulfil a need for highly functional, cost-effective and easy to use ticketing software. It follows the “Software as a Service” model, allowing venues to reduce their ongoing overheads related to IT infrastructure, and reducing the amount of time venues need to spend managing the technical aspects of their box office, allowing them to concentrate on what really matters – maximising sales and improving the customer experience. www.spektrix.com
About YESpay Ltd

It provides outsourced management payment services anywhere in the world to traditional high street stores, hospitality, leisure, fuel, mail order and web environments.
Through EMBOSS™, its Gateway to Managed Payment Services, merchants can quickly accept
integrated card payments within their EPOS tills, kiosks, and hospitality payment systems as well as enhance their websites for on-line payments with minimal capital investment and low on-going services costs. EMBOSS is an on-line IP-based payment processing service that has been preaccredited (generically) by major card Acquirers in Europe and North America (including Barclaycard Business, HSBC, HBOS, Lloyds Cardnet, Streamline, Ulster Bank, Elavon, PBS, Amex and Diners). In addition, YESpay’s EMBOSS service is fully end to end certified to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Level 1 as mandated by Visa and MasterCard.
