TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attendees at the upcoming International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) VenueConnect conference and tradeshow will learn about tremendous innovations in ticketing, customer relationship management (CRM), social ticketing/commerce and mobile-optimized web ticketing from AudienceView. The company is among the industry leaders enlisted by IAVM to help professionals from entertainment and sporting venues discover new ticketing trends and technology in a panel presentation. AudienceView will also demonstrate its fully integrated, web-based solution at booth 314.
The AudienceView solution is used at more than 550 venues globally, including UK’s world-class Wembley Stadium, Canada’s 90,000-capacity Magnetic Hill concert site and University of Minnesota’s 55,000-seat TCF Bank Stadium. It has powered first-day sales for music legends including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Elton John and Avril Lavigne, among others. AudienceView’s software has also been used to sell tickets for concerts performed by U2, Coldplay and Foo Fighters, as well as major sporting events including the UEFA Champions League Final, the FA Cup Final and NFL International Series. In total, AudienceView handles the day-to-day ticketing requirements of more than 170 arts, entertainment, sports and non-traditional ticketing organizations in 13 countries.
“Technology has unquestionably changed the ticketing landscape forever, evolving both customer expectations and revenue streams,” said Jeff Koets, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at AudienceView. “Fans of live music, entertainment and sports have many choices, so engaging these customers and providing a superior experience is more important than ever before. AudienceView is proud of its reputation and success as a consistent industry innovator and remains committed to ensuring our partners are always on the leading edge of technology.”
In addition to traditional, online and mobile ticketing, AudienceView offers the world’s only buy and reserve ticketing functionality through Facebook. The technology, called AVTiki, has been successfully deployed by UK national ticketing agency The Ticket Factory, the Tribeca Film Festival® (New York, USA) and TicketWorld (Manila, Philippines) as part of a staged roll-out strategy, with general availability scheduled for later this year. AVTiki is a true example of social ticketing, providing the benefits of viral event promotion with no extra effort or additional marketing spend.
