BASQUE COUNTRY/NAVARRA

LOU REED COMES TO THE KURSAAL

BUY YOUR CINEMA TICKETS ON THE NETWORK 
A joint venture between Cines Olite and the CaJa de Ahoros de Navaira means that cinema goers* in the capital will be able to get their cinema tickets before they go to the movies. Film fans in Bilbao can already buy tickets for some cinemas in advance thanks to the service operated by Servicaixe (www.servicaixa.com), as well as tickets for the Guggenheim Museum. BBK and K.utxa, two local savings banks, also plan to offer a similar service, working together with 'digital cities' operating in Bilbao and Donostia, like Tuciudad.com, BilbaoWeb, EuskadiLaNetro and CiudadHoy.
