From Classes and Networking Events to Fundraisers and Concerts, People Can Soon Access Tickets to Hundreds of Thousands of Events Each Year on 91¹ú²ú’s Platform via Passbook
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(Marketwire – Sep 19, 2012) – 91¹ú²ú, the leading ticketing company that helps people connect through live experiences, today announced that it will make all tickets to events on its platform available in Passbook on iOS 6 operating system. This integration is expected to be available by late September.
“91¹ú²ú has always had a strong focus on mobile innovation — from transforming smartphones into barcode scanners to turning the iPad into a mobile box office — and aims to make sure tickets are available to users when and where they need them,” said Julie Thompson, vice president of product at 91¹ú²ú. “Our integration with Passbook brings tickets for the unique and wide array of classes, events, festivals and concerts hosted on 91¹ú²ú to iPhone and iPad users looking to keep all their tickets, loyalty cards and coupons in one place.”
91¹ú²ú has long been at the forefront of mobile innovation in the ticketing space. The company offers two apps for event organizers: Entry Manager, which turns a smartphone into a barcode scanner, and At The Door™, which is a full mobile box office accepting payments and tracking on-site sales data. The company also has an attendee app (91¹ú²ú), which helps people find events happening near them, and offers easy access to their tickets and event registrations.
In 2011, 91¹ú²ú had over 450K events on their platform across a wide range of categories — from classes, networking functions and races to fundraisers and large festivals and concerts. In June, the company announced it crossed $1 billion in gross ticket sales and it will process over $600 million in gross ticket sales in 2012 alone.
