Ticketmaster
Czech Republic (Ticketmaster Česká republika, a.s.), the global leader in
advanced ticketing technologies, has become the official ticketing supplier and
operator of Prague’s Fórum Karlín.
Since
its opening in 2014 in the popular and vibrant Karlín district of the Czech
Republic capital city, this 4,000+ capacity multifunctional venue has been
acclaimed for its prize-winning acoustics, promoter-friendly approach and the
high quality of the services it provides to fans.
Starting from this month, tickets for all newly announced events
presented in Fórum Karlín will be sold via Ticketmaster, including shows such
as Thom
Yorke, Michael Kiwanuka, Nick Mason, Patti Smith, The Neighbourhood and Yes.
This
new partnership aligns with Fórum Karlín’s mission to be a pioneer in digital
ticketing and live entertainment, with the aim to soon become the first Net
Zero Carbon venue of the Czech Republic. Already operating as an
electronic-payment-only venue, Fórum Karlín will now be able to make the most
of Ticketmaster’s market-leading digital ticketing technology and marketing
tools to improve the ticketing experience for the fans as well as end results
for organisers.
The long-term
deal will also allow Fórum Karlín to benefit from Ticketmaster’s global reach helping
to promote its diverse calendar of events across Europe.
Simona
Matějková, Managing Director of Ticketmaster Czech Republic, said: “Our
exciting new partnership with Fórum Karlín feels like a natural fit. We both
understand the value that implementing modern technologies has for all involved
– for promoters, organisers and fans. With live events opening up in the Czech
Republic, we cannot wait to start work with the venue to provide a seamless
ticketing experience.”
“It
is part of our mission to be one of the most digitally pioneering music venues
in Europe, so we are thrilled to be working with Ticketmaster and to bring its innovative
ticketing technology to our visitors. It was essential for us that our
ticketing partner would be able to reliably manage sales for high-demand events
featuring exceptional artists. We also wanted them to help us accelerate the
trailblazing approach we have when it comes to digital payments, ticketing and marketing. It
is for these reasons and more that Ticketmaster became the perfect choice of supplier
for us,” adds Serge Grimaux, CEO of Fórum
Karlín.
The partnership kicks off this
Friday 3rd July at 11.00 CET with the general sale of Australian
metalcore band, Parkway Drive, who will be hitting Fórum Karlín’s stage on 12th
April 2021.
