 1.  I
        have
        reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Tix Corporation;
 
 2.  Based
        on
        my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a
        material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
        made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
        not
        misleading with respect to the periods covered by this quarterly report;
 
 3.  Based
        on
        my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included

        registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
        maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act

        13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
        defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant
        and
        have:
 
 (a)  Designed
        such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
        and
        procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
        information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
        is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
        the
        period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;
 
 (b)  Designed
        such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
        over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
        reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
        the
        preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principles;
 
 (c)  Evaluated
        the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and
        presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
        disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the periods covered
        by this
        report based on such evaluation; and
 
 (d)  Disclosed
        in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial
        reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the
        registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
        materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
        registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
 
 5.  The
        registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
        recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
        registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of
        directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
 
 (a)  All
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of
        internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
        adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and
        report financial information; and
 
 (b)  Any
        fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
        who
        have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial
        reporting.
