Staples Center, Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE and Club Nokia have transitioned to AXS Ticketing from Ticketmaster. Since launching in August 2011, AEG has installed the new platform in 24 venues in less than 18 months. Beyonce‘s June 26 concert at Staples Center will be the first event in the downtown Los Angeles venue to be offered exclusively through the AXS.com platform.
“With the addition of AEG’s largest and most iconic venue to date – Staples Center – the ticketing platform now powers the No. 1 arenas in both North America and the United Kingdom [London’s 02 Arena], with true momentum forward,” said Tom Andrus, AXS Digital SVP & GM. “AXS is more than just ticketing and was created as a complete platform to redefine the live event experience by empowering venues across every phase of an event – from event discovery to ticketing to in-venue engagement and beyond.”
