SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Atom Tickets, the social entertainment ticketing platform,
announced today that it is expanding its services beyond movies to
be the only U.S. movie ticketing app to offer an easy way to
discover entertainment and lifestyle events including music, comedy
shows, food festivals and more. These localized event listings are
sourced from the vast inventory of live experiences on Eventbrite
(NYSE: EB), the global ticketing and event technology platform.
Atom Events rolls out to Atlanta,
Boston, and Los Angeles starting today, with the plan to
add more cities in the coming months.
"We have a proven track record of ticketing movies in the most
convenient and social way that has resulted in selling millions of
tickets. By leveraging our expertise and extending it into live
events, we're confident that consumers will embrace the added
convenience of being able to discover the best entertainment choice
for their interests," said Matthew
Bakal, Chairman and Co-founder of Atom Tickets. "Last year
alone Eventbrite powered nearly 4 million events globally. We're
thrilled to be integrating such an extensive and diverse inventory
of live experiences as we introduce a movie and event ticketing
approach to the U.S."
"Atom makes it really easy and convenient for moviegoers to buy
tickets. We believe that the behavior that compels someone to go to
the cinema rather than watch from their sofa is the same driving
force behind going to a live event—whether it be a comedy show, a
food festival, or a concert," said Tamara
Mendelsohn, VP and GM of Consumer at Eventbrite. "Allowing
Eventbrite events to be discovered on apps other than our own helps
our creators find new audiences, sell more tickets, and ultimately
results in more people attending live experiences. We're excited to
make live events even more accessible through our integration with
the Atom app."
A recent survey by Atom revealed that 85% of respondents attend
events three or more times a month. As a one-stop-shop for local
events, Atom Events is designed to bring new entertainment seekers
into the fold by powering the perfect weekend. Atom has made it
dramatically easier to browse new movie releases, find local events
and share details with friends. Initial launch categories, powered
by Eventbrite, include music, comedy, arts, food and drink, film
and media.
Consumers in Atlanta,
Boston, and Los Angeles can now see an "Events" tab in the
bottom navigation bar of the Atom app. From there they can explore
events by date or category and see all the event details including
date, time, location, map, pricing, and description.
The Atom Tickets app is available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
