Our weekly tech round-up from the world of ticketing and associated industries…
SafeTix arrives in Mexico
Ticketmaster has debuted its SafeTix technology in Mexico for the first time.
The Mexico launch comes in the light of last year’s Bad Bunny concert at the Azteca Stadium, when thousands of fans could not enter the venue due to issues caused by ticket cloning.
SafeTix tickets have a dynamic barcode that changes every 15 seconds, which prevents counterfeiting. Tickets can be integrated into the digital wallet of users on iOS and Android mobile devices, to facilitate their access by approaching a reading terminal through NFC.
“The objective is to improve the user experience, from the purchase to the scanning of the tickets for access to the event,” said Ana María Arroyo, general director of Ticketmaster México.
Canadian attraction targets improved service
The Village Québécois d’Antan, a historical village and living museum in Canada, has partnered with Connect&Go to enhance its ticketing and marketing capabilities.
The attraction will be using the Konnect all-in-one attractions management platform to increase sales of tickets and season passes with a unified system for eCommerce, point-of-sale and access control. They will also be using Konnect’s marketing and CRM integration with ActiveCampaign to help drive revenue and re-engage with visitors.
“Connect&Go’s platform is on the cutting-edge of technology and fully tailored to our unique needs in the tourism industry. With Connect&Go, we can offer an exceptional user experience that matches what we strive to provide to all our guests at the Village Québécois d’Antan,” said Stéfany Duguay, director of communications and marketing at the attraction.
