Open Ticket Distribution (Origins & Key Benefits)
From Traditional Ticket Outlets To Digital Marketplaces
Distribution has come a long way since the days of retail outlets in the back of record stores. We have shifted to open marketplaces, where multiple providers can sell tickets through various channels. This was fueled by the NFL's 2017 move to an open marketplace, allowing many new players to come into the market as secondary ticketing providers.
Selling More Tickets Through A Variety Of Platforms
Meeting fans on platforms they are already engaging with; Open ticket distribution has enabled organizations to sell more tickets through a variety of platforms, offsetting the fees lost from not selling directly through official marketplaces. Mobile event ticketing enables vendors to create ancillary revenue streams and monetize unsold seats before and during events.
Open Distribution (Why Does It Matter?)
Globalizing The Sports & Live-Entertainment Ticketing Industry
Open ticket distribution is breaking down barriers and connecting fans to events on a global scale. Open ticket distribution is connecting sports clients' tickets with foreign buyers, further expanding the reach of major sports and live-entertainment events. Innovative mobile event ticketing is helping meet the changing needs of fans in a globalized marketplace.
Incorporating Team Sponsors & White-Label Software
The rise of open ticket distribution will present no shortage of new opportunities in the market. Another aspect of open distribution is the potential for team sponsors to become involved in selling tickets. As primary ticketing companies take a step back, some may operate like white-label software, providing the infrastructure for other entities to sell tickets.
