LONDON, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Ticketmaster, the world's leading live entertainment ticketing and marketing company, announced today a new look to Ticketmaster.co.uk (http://www.Ticketmaster.co.uk). These changes have been made based on customer feedback in order to provide an improved web-browsing experience.

The site is now wider, increasing from 770 pixels to 1000 pixels. This allows for larger font sizes, increased space around the site, and general improvements in readability and user experience. In tests users found these improvements made the site more engaging and they were more likely to scan down the page and look at all the content.

The colours on the site have been updated to reflect a more modern palette and also now include a unique colour scheme for each event category.

A simplified top level navigation promotes focus on Search, the Change Location module and the four major event categories. Each category tab has a drop down menu containing popular events. There is also a left hand navigation panel on the homepage and each major event category page will be enhanced and include the most relevant and popular events in each market. The search is more visible, the site's change location option is easier to use, enabling the retrieval of more relevant content based on user selection. The redesign also initially displays more events to users and a new popular events module surfaces key events by category and consumer location with dropdown menus containing easy-to-use quick links

Chris Edmonds, Managing Director, said, "We are delighted about the changes to Ticketmaster.co.uk. It will be more accessible, user friendly and functionally more intuitive, but the most important thing is the new site will provide a better experience for our consumers."
