CTS EVENTIM uses EVENTIM.Pass, its proprietary digital ticket, for the first time for Ed Sheeran's European tour
Munich, 4 October 2021. CTS EVENTIM, a leading international provider of ticketing and live entertainment, is using its EVENTIM.Pass to sell tickets for megastar Ed Sheeran's upcoming European tour and in doing so has taken a greater stand against the unauthorised secondary ticket market. This is the first time that the company has used only this platform for the sale of tickets. Tickets for the tour, which begins next spring, went on sale on 25 September, and in next to no time CTS EVENTIM had sold more than one million digital tickets across Europe through its proprietary technology. Tickets can only be downloaded to the purchaser's smartphone using the EVENTIM.App. The app stores the tickets securely and displays a QR code for admission to the concert shortly before it is due to start. EVENTIM.Pass tickets can only be resold via EVENTIM's official resale platform fanSALE, which means they are fully traceable. "We are delighted to be able to offer fans even more protection against unauthorised sales thanks to EVENTIM.Pass," said Alexander Ruoff, Chief Operating Officer at CTS EVENTIM. "This proprietary solution underlines our ambition to use cutting-edge technology to ensure that ticket sales are fair." In the case of Ed Sheeran's tour, the artist's management team has requested additional security checks, such as the use of a transaction authentication number (TAN) to download the EVENTIM.Pass ticket. Ed Sheeran's tour, which will be visiting twelve countries, begins in April 2022 in Dublin, Ireland, and ends in September 2022 in Frankfurt.
