Ticketmaster launches new talent website
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 29 April 2015
Ticketmaster has just launched a new website in the UK that aims to be “a one-stop shop for fans to discover their next favourite act, share it with their friends and recommend artists that they have found elsewhere”. If only someone had thought of that before.
Anyway, it’s all called Ticketmaster Rising, it has a tie up with the London mayor’s ‘Busk In London’ campaign, and, says Ticketmaster UK MD Andrew Parsons: “Ticketmaster has over 30 years experience supporting live entertainment and artists globally. As a brand we go beyond the sale of tickets by connecting fans to their favourite artists or passions whether it be music, theatre, arts, sports or festivals. Ticketmaster Rising gives us the opportunity to boost the next generation of superstars through our networks – something that we feel is hugely important”.
While Munira Mirza, Deputy Mayor For Education And Culture at London’s City Hall, had these very words to say: “There’s nothing like that adrenalin rush you get when you stumble across a new act and there’s nowhere better to find amazing undiscovered talent than London’s streets, squares and Underground. It’s been incredibly exciting working with street performers over the last year to create Busk In London and we’re thrilled that Ticketmaster share our love of supporting grass roots talent. It’s going to help more great acts to reach bigger audiences”.
Well done one and all. Check out the site for yourself here.
