Movetix, the ticketing platform for events and concerts on the AirAsia Move app, has partnered with Southeast Asia’s Ticketmelon, a ticketing and event technology business.
The collaboration will see Ticketmelon’s inventory of more than 300,000 tickets across the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region integrated into the AirAsia Move app. The move will see travellers and event-goers benefit from a seamless experience when booking flights, accommodation, event tickets and even airport transfers – all in one place.
In return, Ticketmelon will gain access to AirAsia Move’s user base to tackle new markets and demographics.
“We want to make everyone’s dreams of attending any event or concert, wherever in ASEAN, into a reality, and make it as affordable as possible,” commented Tony Fernandes, chief executive of Capital A and executive chairman of Move Digital.
“AirAsia Move, our OTA [over-the-air] platform is not just about booking hotels and flights, but about giving you experiences that you have never dreamt of. We look forward to working closely with the Ticketmelon team, and I would like to thank them for doing an incredible job so far, and for giving AirAsia Move the trust to deliver for them.”
The partnership was honoured with an agreement signing ceremony featuring Movetix CEO Hassan Choudhury, while Ticketmelon was represented by CEO Panupong Tejapaibul.
“We are in very exciting times, especially driven by the region’s young, dynamic population and increasing disposable income who are part of a growing global fan base who will spend to travel to iconic live events such as sports and concerts,” said Choudhury.
“With the integration of Ticketmelon’s event listings into AirAsia Move, travellers will have unprecedented access to a wide range of concerts, festivals, and events, making it more convenient than ever to plan their entire trip in one place. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with Ticketmelon and leverage each other’s strengths to bring the best of live events to the region.”
