Boyertown, Pa (December, 2004) Galaxy 2, Gateway Ticketing Systems’ most powerful revenue management and admission control system, received the “Best New Product” award for the "Revenue and Admission Control" category at this year's International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Annual Convention and Trade Show.
Michael Andre, President and CEO of Gateway Ticketing Systems, stated, “This award honors the benefits that Galaxy 2 provides to our customers in the parks and attractions industry by virtue of its design and quality.” Andre continued, “The award is especially gratifying because the selection process requires written recommendations from actual users of the product. The panel of judges are comprised of IAAPA members who operate their own facilities and therefore know the importance of using first-rate systems in the operation of their organizations.”
The IAAPA “Best New Product” award is the second accolade Gateway Ticketing Systems has won in as many months. The World Waterpark Association (www.waterparks.org) recently awarded Gateway Ticketing Systems with the Industry Leadership Award – Suppliers for setting an exceptional standard within the waterpark industry.
