Our weekly tech round-up from the world of ticketing and associated industries…
Moshtix launches resale, return services
Moshtix has launched its new resale and return services for its customers in Australia.
Fans can now list tickets they have bought for up to 110% of the face value price they paid. The price restrictions are in line with Australian regulatory standard of 10% more than the face value price, excluding any transaction fees, delivery fees and optional ticket upgrade fees.
Moshtix’s Ticket Return allows fans to return any ticket that they no longer want to use back to Ticketmaster-owned platform. The platform will include returned tickets with the others it is selling, priced at the current sale price for that type of ticket at the time of return. This price may not be the same as what users paid. If the returned ticket is purchased, the user will be provided a refund of the price they paid for the ticket.
Moshtix said: “With the ability to effortlessly resell or return your tickets, Moshtix is helping your tickets find new life in the hands of eager attendees, whether it be friends, family or other fans around the country.”
Telecharge defies Broadway convention
Reports from the US state that Broadway ticket specialist Telecharge has broken a long-standing convention by deleting links on its website to rival platforms.
In the past, Broadway’s ticket vendors would show the theatre district’s complete programme and link to a show’s official primary ticket vendor.
According to NYTix, Telecharge has ended this practice, with no links from show listings to rival vendors such as Ticketmaster or SeatGeek. If buyers click on the “information” link for those shows, their only option is to be redirected to Broadway Inbound, a third party which handles group sales exclusively.
Hibs extend with Ticketmaster
Scottish Premiership club Hibernian has renewed with Ticketmaster as its ticketing supplier for a new long-term deal.
Hibs will stay in the Ticketmaster family alongside clubs such as Celtic and Hearts.
Hibernian’s head of ticketing, Aidan Gorman, who has been working for Hibs since 2018 when the club first partnered with Ticketmaster, said that the team was looking for “flexibility, adaptability and reliability” in a ticketing partner. He said the key factors for renewing with Ticketmaster were the company’s “innovative and progressive roadmap and vision for ticketing.”
