Ticketmaster delivers a First in Gift Cards using PrePay Technologies

26 September 2006

Ticketmaster, the world's leading ticketing company, has launched its own gift card programme in the UK, the first of its kind by a UK ticketing agency. The Ticketmaster Gift Card is available in a range of denominations from £10 to £200 and may be redeemed by telephone or in person at any of Ticketmaster’s UK network of Ticket Centres.

The Ticketmaster Gift Card is a great way to give someone the chance to choose what event they wish to attend and is an ideal ‘gift of choice’ for birthdays, festivals, Christmas Valentines Day, and other special occasions. The Ticketmaster Gift Card also makes a great corporate incentive for staff and corporate customers.

Ticketmaster is working with PrePay Technologies Ltd., the market leader in designing and delivering stored value card solutions, to deliver this new purchasing initiative.

Chris Edmonds, Managing Director of Ticketmaster UK commented, “Ticketmaster is continuously seeking to provide consumers with greater choices when purchasing event tickets. Our products and services are designed to make the purchase process easy and convenient. Our new gift card has tremendous benefit to consumers and replacing the paper certificate programme, reduces running costs while driving business for our clients and improve the overall awareness of our brand.”

Philippe Dufour, CEO at PrePay Technologies Limited states, “Ticketmaster is an absolutely fantastic brand. They are the recognised leaders in online ticketing. We are delighted to have delivered to Ticketmaster a solution which will create added value for them and a great experience for all Ticketmaster customers.”

The Ticketmaster Gift Card is available to purchase online at Ticketmaster.co.uk or by calling Ticketmaster on 0870 534 4444 and can be redeemed via the phone or in person at Ticketmaster Ticket Centres across the UK. The Gift Card replaces the former Ticketmaster Gift Voucher, and redemption online is scheduled for 2007.
