Travelocity Acquires Allstate Ticketing and Its Showtickets.com Web Site

Leading Distributor of Las Vegas Area Show Tickets and Tours Will
Greatly Expand and Enhance Travelocity’s Travel Extras

SOUTHLAKE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 31, 2004–

In a move expected to enhance its position in Las Vegas and
broaden its ability to sell show tickets, attraction passes and other
“travel extras” through its TotalTrip(SM) flight + hotel shopping
engine, Travelocity(R) and its parent company Sabre Holdings
(NYSE:TSG) today announced that Travelocity has acquired Las
Vegas-based All State Tours Inc., (“Allstate Ticketing”) a leading
distributor of show tickets and tours in the entertainment capital of
the world. As part of the purchase, Travelocity acquires the Allstate
Ticketing brand and the Web site, www.ShowTickets.com.

The acquisition closed on August 30, 2004 at a purchase price of
$25 million, paid in cash. Allstate will operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Travelocity.com, LP.

“This is a move rich with synergies which will immediately benefit
all of our Las Vegas-bound customers,” said Travelocity CEO Michelle
Peluso. “With Allstate Ticketing we look forward to solidifying our
leading position as the best provider of travel experiences to Las
Vegas. Beyond that, we will consider introducing Allstate’s proven
business model to other key leisure travel destinations. We also see
tremendous opportunities to build upon the success of the
ShowTickets.com Web site, as well as onward distribution of Allstate
Ticketing content.”

Allstate Ticketing currently offers tickets to 60 shows throughout
Las Vegas and manages four box offices for four Las Vegas casinos –
Flamingo, Harrah’s, Rio, and Sahara. The company also operates an
additional 20 ticket booths throughout Las Vegas, including one at
McCarran International Airport, and it owns exclusive rights to
operate ticket booths at Hoover Dam. Additionally, Allstate sells
tickets for tours of Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead. In
2003, the company sold approximately 30 percent of the show tickets in
Las Vegas for venues with less than 2,500 seats.

“Most of all, we are very excited about the Allstate team,” said
Ross Mantione, Travelocity vice president partner marketing. “Adding
almost 200 dedicated employees in Las Vegas to our Travelocity team is
a big move for us with many benefits. It will allow us to
significantly enhance our content and local on-the-ground marketing
and customer support in Las Vegas, a destination immensely popular
with our members.”
