The discount tickets website Goldstar Events™ is expanding to New York theatre. 

"GoldstarEvents.com is a consumer website that offers significantly discounted tickets for theater, dance, comedy, concerts, sporting events and more making it possible for people to get out and see live entertainment as often as going to the movies.  Goldstar Events™ currently serves Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Washington DC, Las Vegas, San Diego and Boston," state press notes.

"A free no-hassle membership allows people to log on to GoldstarEvents.com and receive weekly e-mail summaries about discounted events, usually as much as 50%, in the area. Members can choose events based on special interest and location. Members can plan ahead instead of rushing downtown to get last minute ticket offers, which makes Goldstar Events™ very easy and very convenient."

"We're thrilled to be making our New York City debut," says Jim McCarthy, CEO of Goldstar Events™. "Goldstar Events™ is making it possible for its members to go have a great time at live entertainment. There is something for every taste and every budget. And, because it is affordable audiences can try something they ordinarily would not attend." 

Goldstar Events™ was created by Internet professionals who have been working in e-commerce since before it was called e-commerce. The team has experience from Warner Bros., Yahoo!, GeoCities, eToys, Overture (formerly GoTo), and others and has been written and talked about in the Los Angeles Times, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KCBS-TV in San Francisco, the Chicago Reader and WGN Radio in Chicago, and many other outlets. The site was launched February 14, 2002, in Los Angeles, CA, with such venues as the Mark Taper Forum, the Improv Comedy Clubs, and the Ahmanson Theatre. In one short year, it was named "One of the 101 Greatest Things About Los Angeles" in Los Angeles Magazine.  Since then, Goldstar Events™ has expanded to San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, Washington DC, and Boston to partner with nearly 2,000 venues. 

Entertainment venues partnered with Goldstar Events™ also benefit. Goldstar Events™ increases the market for live entertainment and brings in new audiences. The website has produced millions of dollars in revenues for venues, including many non-profits.  Already venues such as Stand-Up NY, TheatreworksUSA, Second Stage Theatre, Playwrights Horizons, Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, Birdland, The Duplex, New York City Opera, New York Philharmonic, Comix, Chicago City Limits improv, Madison Square Garden, the off-Broadway musical Altar Boyz, and Broadway shows like Jay Johnson: The Two and Only and High Fidelity have teamed up with Goldstar Events™ to offer incredible savings to the hundreds of thousands of members that use the site.   

"When Goldstar Events™ approached us, we jumped at the chance to work with a nationally recognized company that supports the arts," said Hector Coris, Director of Marketing at the Second Stage Theatre. "Their excellent customer service and website made sure that our shows sold out within days of posting tickets. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them as they tackle the New York scene!"
