New Mexico Business Weekly Article
September 17th
Albuquerque’s HoldMyTicket is becoming a growing player in the local ticketing world and beyond.
At last weekend’s mixed martial arts bout at Tingley Coliseum, Jackson’s MMA general manager Ricky Kottenstette tried the HoldMyTicket system to sell about 6,000 tickets.
“It worked great,” Kottenstette said. “It’s the future of ticketing.”

Neon Desert Music Festival 2011
June 13th
Neon Desert Music Festival 2011 from Rodolfo Romo on Vimeo.
The team at HMT spent last weekend in downtown El Paso for the first ever Neon Desert Music Festival! Sprawled over two of El Paso’s downtown parks and seven city blocks, this full day festival featured nearly thirty musical acts spread over four stages. There were multiple art walls, excellent food vendors, and because of the title sponsor, tricked out Scion’s parked randomly throughout the festival grounds.
PowellaPalooza
October 5th
Its been a week since we returned from Lake Powell, and the first annual POWELLAPALOOZA. Set amongst the red rock desert landscapes and on the lake’s marinas, this festival was the beginning of something legendary.
From the Solar Saucer DJ booth to the Page Shores stage built into a natural rock amphitheater, to the waterfront stage at Antelope Marina and the dune-like setting of the camping area, this experience was without compare. Have you ever seen a 40 foot giant praying mantis with flaming antennae?
HoldMyTicket and the Taos Mountain Music Festival.
September 9th
On the day after HoldMyTicket’s staff climbed to the top of Wheeler Peak (the highest mountain in New Mexico) we managed to pull ourselves together, ignore the sunburn, sore legs and go scan a few thousand tickets for fans anxiously arriving at the Taos Mountain Music Festival at Taos Ski Valley, NM.
The dodgy mountain internet had some people involved worried, but it did not affect our ability to quickly scan and validate attendees with our nifty mobile box office devices. In fact, our free-standing box office validation solution just became faster, even if there is no internet available. Even the fact that many people “forgot” to print or bring their print at home tickets with them did not slow us down. Our mobile devices allowed us to quickly check IDs and get people through the gates. I can’t even remember a time through out the day that we even had a line of people waiting!
This year was a pleasure handling ticketing for the Taos Mountain Music Festival 2010. We want to thank everyone for their help and support!
See you next year in Taos!
