The acquisition of Get Tickets is a key step in our strategic plan to proliferate a self managed ticketing capability globally.”
“The Get Tickets model, which empowers users to drive cost and complexity out of traditional event management and ticketing activities, has been developed over an almost 3-year period and we are excited that Impact E-Solutions is prepared to propel the expansion of the Get Tickets strategy beyond the Canadian marketplace,” commented Bill Gaskey, Founding Partner of Get Tickets E-Solutions Canada, Inc. “Empowerment has universal appeal and we are confident that the Get Tickets brand will be widely adopted across multiple markets and verticals.”
