- ShoWare™ and accesso Siriusware™ solutions extend reach in U.S. and Mexico -

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, is pleased to report the progress of both the ShoWare™ ticketing platform solutions, and accesso Siriusware™ ticketing solutions, with the addition of 16 new contracts in total.

ShoWare, which was acquired by the Group in November 2014, has redefined how facilities and event planners sell tickets to their patrons, and eight venues across the U.S. and Mexico have all signed new agreements to utilise the ShoWare box office, online and mobile ticketing solutions. Among these eight venues are Vino Venue, Music Zirconia and TribalTix.com, The Tybee Post Theater, LA Waterfront Cruises, Waterfun, Radio Events Group Entertainment and Best Productions.

In addition, eight prominent U.S. venues have recently signed agreements to adopt accesso Siriusware solutions including Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Skydeck, McWane Center Adventures in Science, Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, The Asian Art Museum, The Trustees of Reservations, Oakland Museum of California, and Black Ball Ferry Line. These attractions will integrate accesso Siriusware onsite ticketing, online ecommerce and point-of-sale technology into their guest operations.

These wins underline the strategic value of both the ShoWare ticketing solution and the accesso Siriusware offering to the Group, with both helping to extend accesso's ticketing sales opportunity into previously untapped leisure verticals. Notably, they continue to provide the Group with further transaction-based, profitable and repeatable revenue streams.

Commenting, Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer of accesso Technology Group plc said:

"These new agreements demonstrate the substantial demand for technology solutions that deliver simple, yet engaging customer experiences and help venues build better connections with consumers around the world. Including these 16 new contract wins, we are proud to have added over 60 new clients in the first half of 2015, helping reinforce our position as one of the highest growth technology vendors in our chosen markets and as one of the largest ticketing businesses globally."
