Series sales at its best

Online ticket series sales account for a large portion of annual turnover. This critical process has been turned into a fully operational online sales machine. Since the first version of series sales in 2012, this process has been updated every year.

 

Noticeable features:

  • Combination of both open and closed ticketing series for seated and unseated events
  • Renewal of same seat purchase and modifying amount/price category of seats
