Hello Affiliates

I'm excited to share some great news with you about our business and the future of the ticketing industry. Ticketmaster, the world's leading ticketing company, has today announced the acquisition of GET ME IN!, Europe's leading open marketplace dedicated to tickets.

This transaction is a testament to the success of the marketplace that GET ME IN! pioneered and developed over the past four years. It is also a landmark event in our industry, bringing the primary and secondary ticketing segments together to benefit fans, artists, clubs and ticket sellers alike.

GET ME IN! will be an independently-run, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ticketmaster and the entire GET ME IN! team will remain in place to continue our UK and European expansion. The combination will allow us to provide an unparalleled consumer experience, with integrated primary and secondary listings, enhanced security, and more convenient ticket delivery options. We'll retain our GET ME IN! brand, and will benefit from combined marketing efforts to scale our business quickly and serve more customers than ever before.

We wouldn't have been able to achieve the success we have without your support, and we look forward to a great long term relationship. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to be in touch.


Best regards
Jim Dempsey @ GET ME IN

This is a significant move which follows on from ticketmaster in the US taking over ticketsnow.
It seems the primary ticket agents way to combat the secondary market is to get a share of the profits.
