OMAHA---Veritix®, the Cleveland-based ticketing technology company, will provide the technology platform to sell tickets for the games at the 2011 NCAA Men’s College World Series.

For the first time, Flash Seats®, the patented digital ticketing platform from Veritix, will be used to buy, sell, transfer and deliver tickets to the games being played from June 18-28/29 at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

“The CWS is a premier sporting event and the demand for tickets has increased significantly in recent years,” said Dennis Poppe, NCAA vice president of football and baseball. “The NCAA's agreement with Veritix provides our fans with a legitimate and safe means to purchase tickets on the secondary market.”

The tickets are available on a College World Series® and NCAA endorsed Flash Seats marketplace (http://cws.flashseats.com ).

“Once again, our relationship with the NCAA gives us the opportunity to provide a dynamic, convenient, safe and reliable experience for fans – this time for college baseball fans,” said Jeff Kline, President of Veritix. “It’s a privilege to be working with an organization with the stature of the NCAA and obviously we welcome the opportunity to be involved in the most high-profile and prestigious events in college athletics.”
