Festicket and AEG Presents have partnered on ticketing for upcoming events from the promoter.
Festicket has been named as an official ticket and exclusive travel package partner for the 2020 edition of All Points East at Victoria Park, featuring confirmed headliners Tame Impala and Kraftwerk.
The deal also names Festicket as an official ticket and travel package partner for American Express presents BST Hyde Park.
This year’s edition of BST Hyde Park features Little Mix, Pearl Jam, Taylor Swift and more. All Points East – which won at the Music Week Awards for its inaugural edition – has featured artists such as The National, The Chemical Brothers, The Strokes and Bon Iver.
Festicket has developed a global network of travel partners alongside their ticketing platform, allowing fans to book festival tickets worldwide. The latest partnership will enable festival-goers to combine booking of tickets and hotel packages.
