Remark Media's Vegas.com Hits Top Ticket Sales Record on Black Friday and Cyber Monday

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Remark Media (NASDAQ: MARK), a global digital media technology company, reported that its Vegas.com subsidiary reserved almost 5,400 show tickets on Black Friday, November 25, 2016 and more than 6,000 show tickets on Cyber Monday, November 28, 2016, the two highest single-day show ticket sales amounts in Vegas.com's history.

Kai-Shing Tao, Remark Media's Chairman and CEO, stated: "Vegas.com is a strong brand, and our team has worked to improve the website infrastructure and marketing.  Since we acquired the property in September 2015, we have been posting new sales records and, last week, we completed our two largest show-ticket sales days to date.  Compared to the same days last year, Black Friday sales increased by 24% and on Cyber Monday, when we reserved 1 ticket every 15 seconds, sales increased by 34%. This is great, but we believe we can do more. We will continue to invest in additional features and look forward to updating you on our progress."
