Ticketfly Signs 17 Venues and Promoters Across Seven States in the Southern U.S., Cementing a Leadership Position in the RegionSAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ticketfly, the technology company reimagining the live event experience and a subsidiary of Pandora (NYSE: P), today announced a record-breaking sixty-day period in the Southern United States, in which the company added to its roster 12 venues, three festivals, one promoter, and one professional sports team. The unprecedented run was catalyzed by the success of Memphis in May's Beale Street Music Festival this past spring. The notable additions span seven states and make Ticketfly the top provider to independent venues and promoters in the region. (See graphic for a list of the newest partners.) These signings are an illustration of the relentless momentum for the Pandora-Ticketfly platform, which is connecting venues and promoters with the largest and most engaged music audience in America. This sixty-day streak comes on the heels of adding the legendary Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge in New York City and Jam Productions in Chicago to the Ticketfly client roster. It also follows the recent announcement of the first product integration between the two companies—personalized Ticketfly concert notifictions for Pandora listeners. A whirlwind period of successful product and sales activity shows that bringing live and recorded music together under one roof is a winning strategy that will help venues and promoters book the right talent, market their events, and build their brands. With these signings, Ticketfly has not only firmly established itself in the South and Southeast, but also in key music markets within the region, like Nashville and New Orleans. This is in addition to the company's already strong presence in other key music markets on the east coast (New York City); on the west coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle); and in the midwest (Chicago). Just over seven years after selling its first ticket, Ticketfly has gone from underdog to a definitive industry leader across the entire United States. "We've been following the development and growth of Ticketfly since we opened our doors three years ago and we're excited to be bringing them on as our ticketing service provider," said Bryan Bailey, Principal Partner at the Civic Theatre in New Orleans. "Their foundation as a software technology company cultivates a proactive, forward-thinking approach to this component of our business, and aligns with our vision to continue evolving to create the best experience for our artists and patrons." "We are thrilled and honored to welcome so many great new venues and promoters down in the South to the Pandora-Ticketfly platform," said Ticketfly CEO and co-founder Andrew Dreskin. "This announcement is another proof point that a sea change is happening relative to how promoters will market shows in the future."
