Live Events To Drive A Prominent Share Of Secondary Ticket Sales In Europe

(MENAFN- Straits Research) Prevalence of the internet, an increasing number of smartphone users, and expansion of the music industry in terms of live music events are altogether bolstering the online secondary ticketing sector.
Increasing Use of Mobile Apps
Competition in the ticketing industry has intensified; chief secondary ticket providers are focusing on developing user-friendly websites and apps to increase their market shares. Mobile apps help customers access relevant information about the event, ticket pricing, seating layout, and other information. Further, they are user-friendly and enable quick and easy transactions. With growing smartphone penetration and the increasing use of mobile apps, the demand for secondary tickets is expanding.
Stringent Regulatory Framework
The presence of a stringent regulatory framework and the threat of illegal transactions are expected to hinder the growth of the market to an extent. For instance, in April 2019, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) banned the use of bots for bulk-buying of online tickets, allowing EU member states to strengthen the current legislation and protect consumers' rights.
Customer Inclination Towards Offline Ticketing to Evade Service Charges
The offline platform is expanding due to the growing number of street-based ticket resellers that operate outside venues. They buy tickets from people who have spare ones at a cheaper rate and sell them to last-minute buyers at a higher cost. Various brokers such as Ace Ticket and Alliance Tickets offer secondary tickets through the offline platform. To avoid extra hidden charges and service fees, consumers prefer to buy tickets through the offline platform, which drives the demand for secondary tickets in this segment.
