Gigantic to hold 10-year celebratory live music event

UK ticketing company Gigantic has announced that it will hold live music event Gigantic10 to celebrate a decade in business.

The Nottingham-based ticket agency also confirmed record sales with a revenue increase of 24 per cent year-on-year and the most productive January in its 10-year history.

Since its launch in 2007, Gigantic has worked with major event promoters Live Nation, Kilimanjaro and DHP Family as well as offering a ticketing solution to festivals such as Tramlines.

Gigantic founder Mark Gasson said: “The ticketing landscape has changed dramatically since we set up. In the face of fast paced technological change, we’ve gone from manually printing hundreds of tickets each week to now sending e-tickets to customers for events that have become completely paperless.

“I’m proud that Gigantic remains a strong, ethical operator within the competitive ticketing sector and look forward to marking this achievement with our loyal friends, clients and customers.”

The event will feature the band Kagoule, a Nottingham-based trio, with more acts to be announced. Tickets are on sale from Friday 24 February for the event that will take place on May 5 and are priced at £5 each.

Gasson added: “As a Nottingham based company with a significant national reach, we like to do our bit to support the local music scene so it seems right to feature an established homegrown band at our own milestone event.”

Gigantic recently appointed face-value platform Twickets as its official reseller.
