Ep 59 Festivals by subscription with no ticketing fees coming to a live event near you with Ed Vincent

Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng

How would you like to never pay ticketing fees and always get a better deal to access live events? That's the promise of Festival Pass, which is the world's first live events subscription service across various experiences including music, film, food & wine, theatre, and tech & innovation. Launched in the US, the plan is for a truly global village of experiences as more countries ease restrictions to allow gatherings again.

Quotes from Episode:
"What I'm most excited about is when somebody comes onto our platform and says, Hey, I'm in New York city but I can't get out ...and I want to see my favourite band in five places playing live tonight.... And I'm going to pay five credits,, maybe the equivalent of $5 or $10 to see them playing for a half hour or an hour in New York. And then I'll flip over to LA to the Viper room and I'll see my second favourite band playing live there."
"It's not that our product is only for millennial and Gen Zs, it's that they're leading kind of the path of how to consume for the future."
