*PRESS RELEASE* 
 
*CTS EVENTIM lands long-term ticketing and sponsorship deal with the 
Liverpool Olympia* 
 
· Legendary venue in Liverpool to be named 'EVENTIM Olympia' immediately 
 
· EVENTIM UK to be exclusive ticketing provider 
 
· Investments in infrastructure and event acquisition planned 
 
Liverpool/Munich, 9 July 2018. CTS EVENTIM, one of the world's leading 
providers of ticketing and live entertainment, has acquired both the 
ticketing and the naming rights for the Liverpool Olympia which, in the 
future, will be known as the 'EVENTIM Olympia'. This step is part of a 
long-term commitment that CTS EVENTIM has entered with its customers, Argent 
Leisure, owner of thevenue, and VMS Live who will be operating the EVENTIM 
Olympia in the future. 
 
The agreement also stipulates that, from now on, EVENTIM UK will function as 
the exclusive ticketing system provider for the EVENTIM Olympia. At the same 
time, significant investments in the venue are planned by Argent Leisure and 
VMS Live. These will benefit not only the infrastructure of the EVENTIM 
Olympia, but will also help to significantly increase the number of live 
events held there. 
 
Nick Blackburn, Chairman EVENTIM UK, commented that 'The live entertainment 
scene in Liverpool has lost none of its fascination and buoyancy, even 
though it is over 50 years since the last Beatles concert there. I am 
delighted that our commitment to the EVENTIM Olympia goes far beyond 
sponsorship. We are working jointly with our partners, Argent Leisure and 
VMS Live, to ensure that this venue, with all its rich tradition, will 
continue to provide a welcoming home for artists and fans.' 
 
The EVENTIM Olympia is located on West Derby Road, to the north of 
Liverpool's city centre, in the district of Everton. One of the oldest 
auditoriums in Great Britain, it was completed in 1905 by the renowned 
architect Frank Matcham, who also designed the London Coliseum and the 
London Palladium. In the decades that followed, the building was used as an 
indoor circus, a variety theatre and a cinema, among others. More recently, 
it has mainly served again as a venue for concerts, comedy shows, sports 
events, as well as for fashion shows and club events. Since 1975, it has 
been designated as a listed building and currently has a capacity of 1,960. 
 
Chris Zorba, Managing Director of Argent Leisure, said that 'The EVENTIM 
Olympia will become a key venue in the North of England as the partnership 
between VMS Live, CTS EVENTIM and ourselves will fulfil the vast potential 
of this unique venue.' 
 
Steve Forster, Managing Director of VMS Live, added that 'The partnership 
with CTS EVENTIM gives us additional opportunities to utilise the enormous 
potential of this outstanding venue in the best way possible. I am 
absolutely convinced that, with the improvements we are making to the 
building, we will be able to attract even more shows. The new EVENTIM 
Olympia creates a genuine win-win situation that will also benefit the 
entire live entertainment scene in Liverpool.' 
The logo emblazoned on the EVENTIM Olympia will be unveiled in the near 
future, but can already be viewed on the newly designed website 
www.eventimolympia.co.uk [1].
