EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into to be effective as
of the 1st day of March 2006, by and between Tix Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter the "Company"), and Mitch Francis, an individual
(hereinafter "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH


      WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue the services of Employee, and
Employee is willing to continue as an employee of the Company, on the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. This Agreement supersedes and
replaces all prior agreements between the Company and Employee regarding the
subject matter hereof.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows;

      1. Engagement; Nature of Duties. The Company hereby engages Employee, for
the period hereinafter set forth, to serve as and hold the offices of Chairman
of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and to perform the duties
of such offices as provided in the Bylaws of the Company and as directed by the
Board of Directors of the Company. Employee agrees to serve in such capacity and
to do and perform the service, acts, or things necessary to carry out the duties
of such offices, and such other duties, not inconsistent with such offices and
Employee's position as an executive officer of the Company. Employee shall
report only to the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time. It is
expressly agreed and acknowledged that employment in the capacity of the
aforementioned offices was a material inducement to Employee to enter into this
Agreement. The Company further agrees and acknowledges that election, and being
retained in office, as a director was a material inducement to Employee to enter
into this Agreement. The Board of Directors agrees to use its best efforts, so
long as this Agreement remains in effect, to cause Employee to be nominated as a
director at any meeting or action of the stockholders of the Company for the
purpose of electing directors, and to use their best efforts to cause Employee
to be elected and retained in office as a director throughout the term of this
Agreement. Employee may assign certain of the compensatory benefits hereunder to
Francis Development Inc. subject to approval of the Company, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Employee is solely responsible for any and all federal or
state tax consequences arising from any assignment of compensatory benefits to
Francis Development, Inc.

      2. Term. The term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for a
period of three (3) years, commencing on March 1, 2006 (the "Commencement
Date"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof (the
"Term").

      3. Performance of Duties. Employee shall devote such time and attention to
Employee's duties as may be reasonably necessary to perform and carry out such
duties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude Employee from
performing services to other businesses or entities not affiliated with the
Company or having personal investments and from devoting a reasonable amount of
time to the care and attention thereof, provided that the same shall in no
manner interfere with or derogate from Employee's work for the Company or
conflict with the Company's business.

      Employee shall perform his duties hereunder primarily in the Los Angeles,
California area, and shall not be required to perform such duties on a regular
basis at any other location except for site or location visits to be conducted
by Employee from time to time. Employee shall not be required to relocate
without his consent.

      4. Compensation.

            (i) Base Salary. The Company shall pay to Employee a base salary in
the amount of Two Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($275,000) per year (the
"Base Salary"), payable in periodic installments in accordance with the
Company's prevailing policy for compensating personnel, but not less often than
semi monthly. On each yearly anniversary of the Commencement Date (March 1,
2006), the Base Salary shall be increased by eight percent (8%).

            (2) Earnings Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, and any and all
other compensation, profit-sharing participation, benefits, bonuses or other
amounts due to or receivable by Employee pursuant to this Agreement, Employee
shall receive an annual bonus (the "Earnings Bonus") equal to six (6%) percent
of the Company's annual earnings in excess of $500,000 before taxes,
depreciation and amortization (ebtda) but after interest. A pro rata portion of
the Earnings Bonus (calculated by annualizing the year to date ebtda and taking
into account any Earnings Bonus paid for any prior periods) shall be due and
payable within ninety (90) days after the calendar (or the Company's fiscal)
year end.

            (c) Restricted Shares. Within thirty (30) days of the Commencement
Date, the Company shall cause the issuance to Employee of 500,000 restricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares shall be subject to a
prohibition on trading, encumbering, or otherwise transferring the shares
(without prior board approval) which shall lapse equally over three (3) years
(166,666 shares on 3/1/07, 166,666 shares on 3/1/08 and 166,667 shares on
3/1/09).

      5. Expenses Reimbursement; Automobile. The services required of Employee
by this Agreement shall include the responsibility and duty of entertaining
business associates and others with whom the Company is, desires to be, or may
become engaged in business or with whom it seeks, now or in the future, to
develop or expand business relationships, or with whom it is otherwise to the
benefit of the Company to establish or maintain communications. It may also be
necessary for Employee to travel from time to time on behalf of and for the
benefit of the Company, or in furtherance of the Company's business. It is the
Company's belief that the performance of Employee's duties in such travel and
entertainment activities will produce the maximum benefits which the Company
expects to derive from Employee's services. Accordingly, the Company shall pay,
or if Employee shall have paid, shall reimburse to Employee, any and all
expenses incurred by him or for his account in the performance of his duties
hereunder, including all expenses for business, entertainment, promotion and
travel by Employee, subject only to Employee providing appropriate documentation
for such expenses. It is expressly agreed, in connection therewith, that
Employee shall be provided or reimbursed for reasonable travel and
accommodations, but no first-class air travel will be deemed reasonable, (unless
under special price offering). The Company shall provide Employee with an
automobile, reasonably commensurate with Employee's office and position, for use
by Employee in performing Employee's duties hereunder and the Company shall be
responsible for all expenses associated with ownership/leasing of such
automobile, including, but not limited to, costs of licensing or registration,
maintenance, taxes and gasoline. Employee shall maintain such records with
respect to the use of such automobile as the Company may reasonably request.

      In the event that Employee shall be deemed to have received income, for
state or federal income tax purposes, by reason of Employee's receipt of or
reimbursement for any of the benefits or expenses set forth in this Section 5,
the Company shall pay or reimburse Employee for all taxes required to be paid by
Employee with respect to such income.

      6. Medical and Life Insurance; Pension Benefits; Tax Preparation. The
Company shall provide or reimburse Employee and Employee's spouse for health and
long-term care insurance (premiums up to $25,000 per year), and Employee life
insurance (premiums up to $10,000 per year), and disability insurance (up to
$10,000 per month coverage) (premiums up to $5,000 per year). Employee shall
also have the right to participate in any and all employee retirement benefits
plan or profit-sharing plan which the Company maintains for its personnel, and
in effect at any time during the period of Employee's employment hereunder,
subject only to any eligibility restrictions of such plans, the plan documents
and generally applicable policies of the Company. Employee shall be entitled to
reimbursement of up to $4,000 per year for personal tax consultation and
preparation of tax returns and other forms and filings.

                                       3

      7. Vacation. During each year of the Term, Employee shall be entitled to a
vacation of four (4) weeks, without deduction of salary. Such vacation shall be
taken at such time or times during the applicable year as may be mutually
determined by Employee and the Company. Any additional vacation period shall be
determined by the Company consistent with the general customs and practices of
the Company applicable to its personnel.

      8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company for cause.
As used herein, "cause" shall mean:

            (a) the commission by Employee of any act of embezzlement, fraud,
larceny or theft on or from the Company or an affiliate of the Company;

            (b) the commission by Employee of, or indictment of Employee for a
felony;

            (c) failure to perform, or materially poor performance of,
Employee's duties and responsibilities assigned or delegated under this
Agreement, or any material misconduct or violation of the Company's policies, in
either case, which continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice given to Employee; or

            (d) a material breach by Employee of any of the covenants, terms or
provisions of this Agreement or any agreement between the Company and Employee
regarding confidentiality, non-competition or assignment of inventions.

            In addition, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated upon
Employee's death or permanent disability. As used herein, "permanent disability"
shall mean Employee's complete inability to perform Employee's duties hereunder,
as determined by Employer's physician, which inability continues for more than
one-hundred eighty (180) consecutive days.

            In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company for
any reason other than for cause or for death or permanent disability as defined
above, or pursuant to a Change in Control discussed below, the Company expressly
agrees and acknowledges that Employee shall be entitled to receive the base
salary, bonuses and benefits described in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement for
the remainder of the Term and shall have no duty or obligation to accept other
employment, or otherwise mitigate Employee's damages resulting from such
termination. The Company further agrees and acknowledges that, in the event
Employee does obtain other employment following the Company's termination of
this Agreement other than for cause, the Company shall not be entitled to any
set off or reduction in the amounts payable to Employee hereunder as a result of
any compensation paid to Employee with respect to such new employment.

assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession

legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Employee's
estate.

      28. Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or claim of whatever nature
arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the
interpretation, meaning, performance, breach or enforcement thereof, including
any controversy, dispute or claim based on contract, tort, or statute, and
including without limitation claims relating to the validity of this Agreement
or relating to termination of employment, shall be resolved at the request of
either party to this Agreement, by final and binding arbitration conducted at a
location determined by the arbitrator in Los Angeles, California, administered
by and in accordance with the then existing Rules of Judicate West Alternative
Dispute Resolution, and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
may be entered by any State or Federal Court having jurisdiction thereof. Either
party may commence such proceeding by giving notice to the other party in the
manner provided in Section 11 of this Agreement. Upon filing a demand for
arbitration, all parties to the Agreement will have the right of discovery to
the maximum extent provided by law for actions tried before a court, and both
agree that in the event of an arbitration, disputes as to discovery shall be
determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) in any such proceeding shall

proceeding. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to grant all legal and
equitable remedies (provisional and final) and award damages provided by
California law. The arbitrator(s) shall prepare in writing and provide to the
parties an award including findings of fact and conclusions of law. The
arbitrator(s) shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal
reasoning, and the award may be vacated or corrected pursuant to California Code
of Civil Procedure ss.ss.1286.2 or 1286.6 for any such error. The Company shall
pay all fees of the arbitrator, and each party shall bear its or his expenses,
costs and attorney fees relating to the arbitration and recovery under any order
and/or judgment rendered therein. In any such proceeding general counsel for the
Company may represent the Company regardless of whether such counsel has
rendered advice to Employee in the past unless prohibited by law or rules of the
California State Bar Association. The parties hereto hereby submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California for the purpose
of enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate and any and all awards or orders
rendered pursuant thereto.
