New York International Automobile Show Announces Faster, Easier Ticket Options

New Walk-Up Ticket Kiosks & Express Entry Points Unveiled for '05

NEW YORK, Feb. 14 -- The New York International Automobile Show announces three ways for consumers to purchase tickets to the 2005 exhibition, which begins March 25. The Show's popular e-ticket program at http://www.autoshowny.com/ allows visitors to buy tickets online, print them at the home or office and head straight to the Show. For the first time ever, consumers can also buy tickets at specially designed walk-up kiosks (similar to movie theaters) conveniently located throughout the Javits Center during the Show's ten-day run. And, as always, dozens of ticket counters 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.

Tickets are also available at the door, or through one of the many combined travel/event discount packages negotiated by the Show with Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Railroad.
