SeatGeek Enterprise – SeatGeek’s primary ticketing software – will power all performances at the  award-winning Oslo Opera House 

SeatGeek today announced a multi-year partnership with the  Norwegian National Opera and Ballet (“​Den Norske Opera & Ballett”) – Norway’s largest  performing arts institution – to give opera and ballet attendees an improved ticket purchasing  experience through SeatGeek Enterprise’s powerful SRO platform.

Scheduled to go live in January 2019, attendees will find it easier than ever before to buy their  tickets via an intuitive and simple, transactional process; leading to Den Norske gaining additional  insights around existing, and new, audiences.

“Among the ​providers that ​entered the tender competition​ with their offers,​ SeatGeek – with the  SRO platform – clearly ​presented ​the best technol​ogical​ and functional solution​. It ​is a developed  ticket system​, ​already in operation in many ​theatre houses​ comparable to our​s​. ​Our​ need for a  system that can meet ​our ​publics requirements and expectations for an intuitive and simple  online purchase of tickets, has been decisive for our choice,” said Jørn Knutsen, Head of  Marketing at The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet.
