Our weekly tech round-up from the world of ticketing and associated industries…
Inclusive theatre
Disney Theatrical Productions has partnered with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), Sydney’s Capitol Theatre and Ticketmaster to offer a relaxed performance of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ on November 18. The inclusive performance will be tailored to support audience members that may need specific support. In November, ‘Beauty and the Best’ will also host Audio Described and Auslan (Australian sign language) Interpreted performances.
The battle against scalping
True Tickets, a provider of digital ticket delivery, has announced a strategic partnership with Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach, Florida. The collaboration will see Riverside Theatre utilise True Tickets’ features, which will allow patrons to experience easy ticket transfers while remaining within the theatre’s true audience, as opposed to scalpers.
