BIRMINGHAM, UK <\/strong>\u2014 NEC Group \u2013 the UK\u2019s leading live events business \u2013 today announced a long-term partnership with AXS, a global leader in ticketing, to provide an enhanced event experience for millions of NEC Group visitors to two of the UK\u2019s largest venues, the Resorts World Arena and Utilita Arena Birmingham. Fans will now benefit from AXS\u2019 patented identity-based ticketing solution, AXS Mobile ID, with peer-to-peer transfer capability and integrated ethical resale through the AXS Official Resale offering.<\/p>\n As part of the deal, AXS will assume the management of ticketing operations previously handled by the NEC Group\u2019s internal ticketing arm, The Ticket Factory. AXS will establish a ticketing hub in Birmingham adjacent to the NEC Campus to add to their locations in London and Manchester. Furthermore, as part of this partnership, all existing employee roles within The Ticket Factory at the NEC Group will seamlessly transfer to AXS.<\/p>\n Mel Smith, CEO, NEC Group<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe want to make every customer\u2019s experience brilliant, from the moment they think about buying a ticket, to the experience they have at our venues, and every interaction beyond. The AXS platform opens new and exciting opportunities for us to connect with customers and enhance their journey with us. We are delighted AXS has chosen to establish a centre of ticketing operations in Birmingham and look forward to a long-term partnership for the benefit of customers and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n Bryan Perez, CEO, AXS<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe have long admired the NEC Group and The Ticket Factory and are therefore thrilled to welcome them into the AXS family.
