Ticketmaster announces kiosk partnership with Hawaiian event complex

October 21, 2009

Ticketmaster has announced a multiyear extension of its partnership with Honolulu's Neal S. Blaisdell complex that will involve the installation of several touchscreen ticketing kiosks. The Neal S. Blaisdell complex includes venues such as Blaisdell Arena, Blaisdell Concert Hall and the Waikiki Shell.

Ticketmaster says its touchscreen kiosks enable users to securely purchase event tickets 24 hours a day and pick up tickets already purchased online or by telephone. The company says the kiosks have an average transaction time of less than three minutes.

Shirley Alexander, general manager of Ticketmaster Hawaii, says the partnership established the company's dedication to tourism in the Hawaiian Islands:

We are pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with the city and county of Honolulu's premier venues in order to promote live entertainment in Honolulu, as well as tourism on the islands in general. While expanding this alliance, we intend to broaden Ticketmaster's reach even further by building upon our partnerships with the Hawaii Visitors Bureau and others so that, in the long run, we will all benefit from this relationship.
