Orlando, FL (August 26, 2009) – Electronic third party ticket sales and management is now available as part of accesso’s innovative, fully hosted ticketing platform. accesso AFFILIATE, an extension of the company’s award‐winning eCommerce technology, is being utilized by high volume sales teams across the United States to expand their distribution network and drive top‐line revenue growth.
Individual one‐day tickets, season passes, parking, meal packages and concert, VIP or event passes can all be made available via an exclusive online shopping site with pricing and options customized for each enrolled group. A four‐color welcome email confirms each client enrollment including easy one‐step instructions for sharing the web and login information with eligible members.
“Our new accesso Affiliate solution opens up third party ticket sales options and creates a new revenue stream for even the most advanced group sales teams,” said Steve Brown, CEO of accesso. “Hard ticket delivery and storage, shipping, slippage, and late season account reconciliation become a thing of the past, making it easy to sign up new prospects.”
With initial delivery to Six Flags’ domestic theme parks, accesso AFFILIATE is currently be used by more than two dozen zoos, theme parks and water parks nationwide. Unique log‐in and user links make it easy for companies and groups to offer employees and members a convenient way to purchase discount tickets and other perks available exclusively to enrolled members. Amusement parks, water parks, museums and other ticketed attractions can use the power of accesso AFFILIATE to tap new sales clients that were unable or unwilling to administer in‐house hard ticket programs.
“Accesso Affiliate allows us to rapidly expand our sales reach beyond the traditional consignment approach,” said Debbi Stuart, Director of National Group Sales for Six Flags. “Our sales reps are able to establish a customized ticket sales website in minutes and we now have over 4,000 clients successfully selling Six Flags tickets through accesso Affiliate. This program has substantially impacted our corporate sales business, even in challenging economic times, and will continue to be an important part of our sales strategy moving forward.”
