"We are pleased to once again offer fans the convenience and security benefits of the Angels Ticket Exchange," said John Carpino, Angels President. "Through our partnership with Ticketmaster, our fans are able to buy and resell tickets with confidence knowing all Angels tickets sold on our official website are authentic."

The Angels Ticket Exchange is fully integrated with Ticketmaster's exclusive barcode verification technology, which ensures all tickets sold on the Angels Ticket Exchange are first validated for authenticity, and then reissued with new barcodes when the tickets are resold. Angels Season Ticket Holders who manage their season tickets through angels.com are able to list their tickets directly by logging on to their "My Angels Account." Additionally, with the integration of Angels Ticket Exchange, Season Seat Holders' tickets are prominently merchandised on the website and offered as "Instant Delivery," which enables fans to print the tickets within minutes of purchasing. Tickets can be purchased and electronically delivered up to the day of game. In addition, Angels Season Seat Holders who manage and list their tickets through "My Angels Account" are entitled to a preferred resellers' transaction fee limited to 5% of the purchase price, as opposed to the higher 15% fee of the purchase price charged by competitive resale websites.

Dedicated customer service for the Angels Ticket Exchange is available 7 days a week at 866-804-1776 or angelsticketexchange@ticketmaster.com.
