Eventim, Ticketmaster partner with redeveloped Trondheim Spektrum

The Norwegian divisions of Eventim and Ticketmaster have agreed a multi-year partnership with Trondheim Spektrum that sees the companies become ticketing partners to the Norwegian entertainment and sports complex.

The venue, one of the most-visited in Scandinavia, is currently under redevelopment, including work to add a new 4,800sqm (51,667sqft) hall with a capacity of up to 12,000. The new venue will host concerts by international artists, in addition to the 2020 European Handball Championships, other sporting and corporate events, trade shows and exhibitions.

Eventim Norway, part of Germany’s CTS Eventim, and Ticketmaster Norway will split the ticketing for shows at Trondheim Spektrum (pictured) between them, offering a range of ticketing features, including CRM and data analytics solutions.

Eva Annie Svendsen, CEO of operator Trondheim Spektrum AS, comments: “Trondheim Spektrum is facing exciting challenges in the years to come. Having expanded our venue, we’re looking to draw more visitors than ever and to triple our revenue by 2026. In order to reach these goals, we want to team up with the best service providers possible.
