Bringing live experiences to new audiences

Ticketmaster wanted to grow its presence in the UK B2B gift card market and make live experiences available through more reward, incentive and gifting programmes. The opportunity was to connect with new buyers at scale while replacing fragmented relationships, email communication and spreadsheet reporting with one streamlined solution.

The Solution

Hundreds of buyers. One connection.

Through Tillo’s API and buyer network, Ticketmaster connected its gift card programme with hundreds of B2B distribution partners. New buyer relationships could be activated through one technical connection, removing the need to establish and maintain every integration individually.

Tillo’s platform brought buyer relationships, sales activity and reporting together in one place. Ticketmaster could see where gift card sales originated, manage its growing programme more efficiently and replace fragmented email communication and spreadsheets with clearer, more accessible data.

Brand Hub Hero-1

One platform. Complete programme visibility.

Ticketmaster’s team can manage buyer connections and monitor gift card sales through a central platform rather than coordinating each relationship separately. This makes it easier to understand programme performance, identify valuable distribution partners and respond to new growth opportunities.

For recipients, digital issuance provides quick access to a gift that can become a memorable live experience. Tillo’s technology works behind the scenes to support reliable distribution, while Ticketmaster remains the brand customers recognise and engage with.
