TICKETPRO was launched with great fanfare last week at the flagship branch of Spar KZN, Eastman’s Superspar in Glenashley, signalling the beginning of a partnership between the retailer and the ticketing innovator which gives customers access to event and sport booking services at their local grocery store via a customer kiosk.
Using technology, developed by Blue Label Telecoms, Ticketpro is expected to streamline ticketing, hospitality and access control for a range of events across the country.
Customers will now have offering customised and specialised ticketing solutions to a wide variety of events including concerts (international and local), expos, lifestyle, theatre and sporting events.
Ticketpro is also a ticketing partner for PSL Soccer league and teams, Cricket South Africa, Blue Bulls rugby The Cell C Sharks, The Kings, Ticketpro Dome events, SA Open Golf tournament, Sun International and Tsogo Sun events.
Even the transport sector is covered, as part of its new kiosk offering, Ticketpro is offering commuter bus ticket sales in Spars (Putco) and long and short haul bus tickets for City to City, Translux, Intercape and Eldos, with more services launching soon.
“We are happy to announce that Spar is Ticketpro’s proud and exclusive food retailer choice for ticket purchases in store,” said Ticketpro CEO, Brandon Duffield,
“This launch will kickstart the national project and roll-out of our new approved design, endorsed by both Spar and Blu Approved. By partnering with one of the country’s most trusted large-scale retail brands, we believe this only serves to underpin our commitment to quality, convenience and security in our service. Our new customer kiosk destination will allow customers to enjoy transactional capability over a host of value added services including bill payment and ticketing.”
Tony Lamb, Spar Group Merchandise Manager said at the launch the retailer is looking forward to rolling out the new kiosks throughout the province and country.
“We are excited to launch this new endeavor with Ticketpro and believe this is yet another way we can add more value and convenience for our customers,” said Lamb.
“The ticketing kiosks will launch nationally in selected stores and will allow customers to enjoy the payment security they enjoy from Ticketpro in a convenient environment with the friendly face to face service they have come to expect from Spar.”
