                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

        I, Mitchell J. Francis, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB/A of Tix Corporation
(formerly Cinema Ride, Inc.) (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004;

2. Based on my knowledge, this 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 period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of,
and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
Company and have:

        a. Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
        disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision,
        to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including
        its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within
        those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is
        being prepared;

        b. Omitted;

        c. Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
        procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
        of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

        d. Disclosed in this report any change in the Company's internal control
        over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent
        fiscal quarter (the Company's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
        annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
        materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
        reporting; and

5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of the
Company'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 Company'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 Company's internal controls
        over financial reporting.
