National Press Release

Purchase Tickets Online and at Walk-Up Kiosks; Also Express Entry Points for '09

NEW YORK, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York International Automobile Show announces three ways for consumers to purchase tickets to the 2009 exhibition, which begins April 10. The Show's popular e-ticket program at www.autoshowNY.com allows visitors to buy tickets online, print them at their home or office and head straight to the Show. Consumers can also use credit and debit cards to buy tickets at kiosks (similar to movie theaters) conveniently located throughout the Javits Center during the Show's ten day run. And, as always, dozens of regular box offices will be open and available during Show hours.

"The New York Auto Show is always looking for ways to make our visitors' experiences more enjoyable," said show director Candida Romanelli. "And now with three ways to buy tickets, show-goers will spend less time in line and more time on the floor enjoying the nearly 1,000 new cars and trucks on display."

To help speed the entry process, show management is adding even more specially marked entrances for e-ticket holders and those who purchase tickets at the new walk-up kiosks. These special entrances will allow visitors to bypass the regular ticket entrances, avoiding possible delays.
