Ticket Summit®
concludes another successful day of networking, panels, and live
entertainment discussions at the ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
After breakfast in the Ironwood Ballroom, Thursday’s schedule began with
“Ticketing Bundles and Distribution,” featuring industry experts from
GrouponLive, LivingSocial, and ScoreBig. Discussing the ways in which
daily deals and bundles are changing ticket sales, this presentation was
engaging and informative, as was the concurrent panel on the global
ticketing market with speakers from Events Travel, Mr.TicketKing.com,
and TicketBis. These new channels for brokers are exciting opportunities
to expand businesses and increase sales.
At 11:00 AM, TicketNetwork®
hosted the Broker Council Update where attendees met and talked with
twelve members of TicketNetwork’s Broker Council, including
representatives from AC Ticket Guys, Best Time Entertainment, Song
Technologies, Ticket Galaxy, and TIX CITY. The
Broker Council Update was followed by lunch in the Ironwood Ballroom
and then “TicketNetwork® Private Label 101” from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM and
“The Evolution of the Secondary Ticketing Market” from 2:00 PM – 3:00
PM. With professionals from Barry’s Tickets, TicketCity, TicketNetwork,
and VIP Tickets, listeners learned first-hand from industry leaders
about the growth of the secondary ticket market from its beginnings to
today.
The evening wrapped up with two important panels: “Legal Issues and
Ticketing Trends” and “Small Business Solutions.” Legal experts spoke
about how recent legislative changes are affecting the secondary ticket
market while VP’s from American Express Open, MassMutual South Carolina,
and Square shared their advice for running a small business.
All in all, the day was a great success, providing attendees with
useful tools and information, as well as delicious food and drink. Day 2
at Ticket Summit® comes to a close, but there’s still one more day of
the conference to look forward to, including Shark Tank’s Daymond John,
“PPC Tips and Tricks,” and the Closing Cocktail Party sponsored by Event
Tickets Center.
