To understand our success in the ticketing field, all one needs to do is attend a pop or classical music concert, or a cultural or sports event.AlookatthescheduleofeventsforthemonthofMayalonedeliversproofoftheenormousrangeofeventsweoffer:HerbertGrönemeyerisputtinginthegraftonhisnew‘Schiffsverkehr’tour,ShakiraisdrivingaudiencescrazyinMannheimandMönchengladbach,theBlackEyedPeasareplayingtheironeandonlyconcert inGermanyinDüsseldorf,Yusuf Islam (CatStevens) isbackonstageat lastafteranabsenceof35years,Goethe’sFaustisbeingperformedinSchauspielhausBochum,theDeutscheTheaterinBerlinisplayingBüchner’s‘Woyzeck’andtheGermanfootballleaguechampionsBorussiaDortmundplayedthelastmatchoftheseasonagainstFrankfurterEintracht–withticketsforalltheseeventscomingfromCTSEVENTIM.

TheEUR+18.465millionchangeincashandcashequivalentswithintheGroupresultedprimarilyfromthepositivenet income for theperiod, fromhigheradvancepayments received in theLiveEntertainmentsegmentforeventsheldinsubsequentquarters,andintheTicketingsegmentfromseasonalreductionsinliabilitiesforticketmoniesnotyetinvoiced.Cashandcashequivalents,atEUR196.501million(31.12.2010:EUR178.036million)includeticketrevenuefrompre-salesforeventsinsubsequentquarters(ticketmoniesnotyetinvoicedintheTicketingsegment),whicharereportedunderotherliabilitiesatEUR99.273million(31.12.10:EUR116.767million).Otherassetsalso include receivables relating to ticketmonies frompre-sales in theTicketingsegment (EUR19.713million;31.12.2010:EUR19.512million).
