Qjump proves just the ticket for Splendour in the Grass 2009
Tickets sell out in record time
Sydney, 14 May 2009 – Online ticketing company Qjump today declared Splendour in the Grass 2009 a sell-out success. Tickets for the music, arts and youth culture event at Byron Bay went on sale to the public at 9am this morning and all tickets were sold using Qjump’s proprietary e-ticketing system in the record time of one hour and 15 minutes.
“Splendour in the Grass is one of the hottest festival tickets for Australian music fans. The success of this year’s ticket sales is a terrific endorsement for the robustness of our technology and Qjump’s ability to ticket large-scale events,” said Stephanie Sulway, Managing Director of Qjump.
“This year we have made a significant investment in new technologies including upgrades to our customised ticketing system and the introduction of a number of measures to enhance the experience for ticket holders. These include barcode scanning for faster entry, technology enabling the legal resale of tickets, and a virtual box office for ticket collection.
“Qjump is thrilled to continue our strong relationship with Splendour in the Grass and provide a superior ticketing experience for their customers, both during ticket sales and at the event," Stephanie commented.
Splendour in the Grass 2009 will be held on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July.
