Press Release Body = Studio City, California - August 13, 2007 - TIX CORPORATION
(OTCBB: TIXC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Exhibit Merchandising LLC.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Tix Corporation purchased all of the assets of
Exhibit Merchandising LLC for a total of approximately $11,450,000 in cash,
(including approximately $3,450,000 for inventory), and 5,000,000 restricted shares
of Tix Corporation common stock.

Based in Akron, Ohio, Exhibit Merchandising LLC was formed to handle the affiliated
merchandising opportunities that its principals created in Arts & Exhibitions, a
partner in the successful King Tutankhamen museum exhibition currently touring many
of the world's top museums. Exhibit Merchandising was able to successfully negotiate
exclusive merchandising rights for the King Tut tour, which immediately made the
company both profitable and highly visible in the museum market. Exhibit
Merchandising was also able to secure a similar contract for a "Pirates" museum tour
which commenced in June of 2007. Exhibit Merchandising sells themed souvenirs,
memorabilia and collector's items in specialty stores it operates within the museums
presenting the exhibitions. Merchandising and store rights for future museum
exhibition tours have been contracted.

Mitch Francis, CEO of Tix Corporation said, "We are thrilled by this acquisition and
believe the Company will benefit greatly in three distinct ways. First, Exhibit
Merchandising has the potential of generating significant revenue from its branded
merchandise sales at the extremely high-profile exhibitions it already has under
contract. Second, the outstanding sources for the supply of branded merchandise
coupled with mature expertise in the marketing and sales of the products provide the
Company with an opportunity to expand the business by offering these capabilities to
the producers of top shows and entertainment with whom Tix enjoys multiple-year
relationships. Third, as Tix Corporation begins to take its ticket selling business
models nationwide, there is a potential for involvement in the marketing and
ticketing of the exhibits themselves."

Mr. Francis continued, "The partners of Exhibit Merchandising, Lee Marshall, Joe
Marsh and John Norman have built a fantastic business with an exceptional staff
headed by Curt Bechdel directing the day-to-day operations. The entire staff has
accepted employment with our Company and Lee Marshall has agreed to be a consultant
for the business, actually overseeing the operations. I am confident that Exhibit
Merchandising will make a significant contribution to Tix Corporation and greatly
enhance our shareholder value for many years to come."

Tix Corporation\'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tix4Tonight, sells tickets for Las Vegas
shows, concerts, attractions and sporting events at half-price, on the same day of
the performance. The Company also offers two additional discount products at its Las
Vegas facilities, Tix4Golf and Tix4Dinners. Tix4Golf offers discount golf tee times
for over 35 courses in Las Vegas for both same-day and advanced bookings and
Tix4Dinners offers up to 50% off entrees at local Las Vegas restaurants and buffets.
The Company\'s recent acquisition, Tix4AnyEvent.com, sells premium tickets to
concerts, theater and sporting events throughout the country.

Tix4Tonight has four prime ticket booth facilities, strategically placed at highly
foot-trafficked locations in Las Vegas, Nevada. They include: the Hawaiian
Marketplace at the South end of the Strip; the Fashion Show Mall in front of Neiman
Marcus, directly across the street from the new Wynn Resort at the middle of the
Strip; at the North Strip, just South of the Riviera Hotel; and a downtown Las Vegas
facility in the Four Queens Hotel, fronting onto the Fremont Street Experience.
