Ingresso links with travel firm Musement

UK-based Ingresso, the entertainment ticket distributor, has linked up with travel and booking firm Musement.

The partnership will see customers able to book excursions seamlessly on Musement through direct and real-time access to attractions and venues.

Ingresso, which was recently acquired by ticketing technology group Accesso and includes LastMinute.com among its partners, will be implemented across US-located events, while in the UK it will apply to musicals, attractions and live music events.

Ingresso also provides live access to ticketed events worldwide across multiple platforms, languages and currencies. It owns and operates a software platform, which enables venue operators, event producers and inventory aggregators to offer real-time digital sales through global third party distribution channels.

“The core focus at Ingresso is to ‘open-up’ ticket inventory by facilitating connections between venues and great distribution channels. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Musement, one of the most exciting destination ticketing providers, to give them unparalleled access to live entertainment and attraction tickets.” said Katy Kimbell, business development manager.

Musement has already combined more than 50 channel management systems and ticketing platforms, which is expected to grow to more than 100 in the next 12 months.

“We’re very proud to add a new important player, Ingresso to our API integration partners. This will allow us to expand our footprint, especially in the US market, by dramatically improving our customers experience,” said Claudio Bellinzona, co-founder and chief operating officer of Musement.
