Consequence of Sound selects Vivid Seats for secondary sales

Ticketing marketplace Vivid Seats has been signed up as the exclusive secondary ticket partner of the Consequence of Sound pop culture publication.

Under the deal, the two parties, which are both based in Chicago, said that the ticket-buying process for music fans interested in attending concerts and other live events across the US would be simplified and streamlined.

“Vivid Seats has long been one of our favourite ticketing sites and we are excited to partner with an industry leader while providing our readers with streamlined access to the secondary market,” Consequence of Sound chief executive Alex Young said.

“We anticipate this partnership will allow Consequence of Sound to continue to provide benefits to our readership which no other publication provides.”

Dedicated links on pages throughout ConsequenceofSound.net will be available as a direct path to tickets on sale in the Vivid Seats marketplace. As part of the partnership, Vivid Seats will also sponsor the Festival Outlook channel that features on Consequence of Sound and will additionally offer a monthly email highlighting the hottest tickets available.

Vivid Seats’ director of business development, Alexia Caulk, added: “We are very excited about partnering with a fellow Chicago company, especially a leading music publication like Consequence of Sound.

“Our focus is to leverage our platform and create more convenient ways for fans to purchase tickets. We are excited to create compelling editorials for their readership as well.”
