Today, Redbox announced it is now selling event tickets at select Philadelphia-area kiosks and online. Regardless of the ticket price, Redbox Tickets will be sold at face value or below, with a $1 fee per ticket, according to a company press release.
Tickets will be sold at select Philadelphia-area Redbox locations starting today and will roll out to all kiosks in the market by mid-October. They can also be purchased online at www.redbox.com/tickets. Consumers will have the option to print their tickets at home or, in some cases, pick them up at the event venue.
"For the past 10 years, Redbox has made movie rentals convenient and affordable for consumers, and now we're bringing the same access to more entertainment with Redbox Tickets," said Anne Saunders, president, Redbox. "This launch brings ticketing options to consumers for a flat fee of just $1 per ticket, and gives artists, venues and inventory owners the ability to promote their events and attractions across our network of more than 650 Redbox kiosks in the Philadelphia area."
