GEE Global Entertainment Corp.

Global Entertainment Corporation (NYSE Amex: GEE) � today reported revenue in both the third quarter and the nine months fiscal 2009 ended February 28, 2009 were up over the prior year results.

Revenue improvement in the three-month period ended February 28, 2009, was derived from several segments of the company�s diversified revenue streams. Project management fees that included fees on projects in progress in Independence, Missouri (started February 2008), Allen, Texas (started June 2008) and the Wenatchee, Washington project, recognized on a percentage of completion basis, were up 87.1% to $0.2 million for the third quarter ended February 28, 2009, compared to $0.1 million in the prior fiscal year. Facility management fees increased 36.3%, to $1.1 million in the third quarter ended February 28, 2009, compared to $0.8 million in the three-month period ended February 29, 2008. The $0.3 million year-over-year increase in fees resulting from the opening of the Wenatchee, Washington facility in October 2008 was offset by a decline in fees from management of the Rio Rancho, New Mexico, which ended in January 2009. Providing a new source of revenue for the company, concession revenue was $0.3 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2009 and transfer of a license, not a regularly recurring event, provided revenue of $0.4 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2009. A loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million, $0.02 per share, was reported for the third quarter ended February 28, 2009, compared to income from continuing operations of $0.1 million for the third quarter ended February 29, 2008.

Revenue for the nine-month period of fiscal 2009 showed a slight improvement of 0.5% to $9.13 million from $9.09 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in project management fees of $1.1 million and the new concession revenue source of $0.4 million were offset by declines in other revenue segments. For the nine-month period ended February 28, 2009, the company reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to the loss from continuing operations of $1.8 million, or $0.28 per share, for the same nine-month period in the prior fiscal year that included $1.1 million in additional legal, settlement and severance costs.

�In the third quarter we experienced solid operating results from our two projects under construction (Independence, Missouri and Allen, Texas). We also received a portion of the project development fees under an agreement previously announced in January 2009 for an events center project scheduled in Dodge City, Kansas. Given the current economic climate, however, we have seen a decrease in sales from the decline in the number of events held at our events centers under our facility management agreements as well as a decline in attendance at events and venues. This also negatively impacts our ticketing revenue from those facilities. Ticketing done on a national level as an independent, full-service ticketing company has also declined. We continue to monitor closely our general operating costs to keep them aligned with operational requirements,� Richard Kozuback, president and chief executive officer, said.

Kozuback continued, �We are preparing for the topping off ceremony, a milestone in any major construction project, for the Independence, Missouri and Allen, Texas projects later this month, staying on time for their projected openings in November 2009. Upon completion, these two facilities will produce multiple revenue-generating opportunities for our company through multi-year facility management agreements and exclusive ticketing service agreements for all events.�
