CityLine, the online ticketing agent for UA cinemas, hopes to diversify its business and expand sales as Hong Kong works to become the cultural and tourism hub of Asia.

The 12-year-old company recently won a contract to provide online ticketing services for Disneyland, which opens in September.

CityLine also hopes to win business for events held on the mainland.

'We are moving out. We're not going to be limited to UA,' general manager Ajmal Samuel said.

CityLine first offered telephone ticketing services to UA cinema goers in 1993. Five years later it launched an online platform capable of handling reservations through its own website or those of event organisers.

Providing the ticketing engine and handling credit card processing, the company also takes bookings for performances such as those put on by the Punchline Comedy Club and the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
