"There is no better way to kick-start our business in Germany than by bringing our [services] to these two world-class venues"
By Lisa Henderson on 08 Oct 2024
AEG-owned ticketing firm AXS is expanding into Germany via partnerships with two major arenas.
The firm will service premium ticketing at Berlin’s Uber Arena and Hamburg’s Barclays Arena – both of which are owned by AEG.
In partnership with AEG Germany’s premium sales team, AXS’ suite management and access control platforms will replace legacy suite ticketing platforms in each arena.
Collectively, the venues host 400 events per year, for which AXS will handle premium and suite tickets.
In addition to Germany, AXS is operational in the UK, Sweden, Japan and Australia via venues, sports teams, festivals, and live events.
