In rolling this out, AXS has partnered with its competitors in the UK, liaising with technology and business operations stakeholders within those organisations.<\/p>\n<p>This digital innovation not only creates a seamless experience for customers visiting The O2 arena but is a sustainability success too; removing the need to print millions of paper tickets every year and the associated vehicles on the roads to deliver these tickets to fans via post. Furthermore, it removes the need for duplicates, or separate queuing on the night: a global first in wider industry relations and technological integration.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are honoured to win this award together with our friends at The O2, but we also share this recognition with our new partners at Ticketmaster, See Tickets, Gigantic, Eventim and Ticketzone. Ticketing is a tough business, and I\u2019m delighted we\u2019ve found a way to work together to build something truly special for fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Chris Lipscomb, Managing Director at AXS UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re so proud to win this award, together with our Official Ticketing Partner AXS, and some of the other leading UK ticketing companies. The customer is always at the forefront of everything we do at The O2, and we\u2019re dedicated to investing in the customer experience to ensure it\u2019s always best in class. This technology allows customers visiting The O2 to have a totally seamless digital experience and spend more time enjoying what the venue has to offer, and we\u2019re excited to continue our work with AXS and others to make the digital fan experience even better in the future. This project has been a real team effort and the recognition for this award should absolutely go to every single person who has played a part in getting us to this stage \u2013 thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Adam Pearson, Commercial Director at The O2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global ticketing company AXS and the world\u2019s most popular music venue The O2 last night won the coveted \u2018Live Music Innovation of the Year\u2019 award at the 2022 Music Week Awards for AXS Mobile ID at The O2 arena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<!-- wp:divi\/placeholder \/-->","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcement","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solutions.axs.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
