AXS, a global leader in ID based mobile ticketing technology,
has entered into an exciting multi-year agreement with the Calgary
Stampede.
The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit community organization
that preserves and celebrates western heritage, culture and
community spirit. Host of the world-renowned Calgary Stampede, long
hailed the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the organization is also
home to year-round meeting and convention facilities, western
events, youth and agriculture programs. AXS, a long-time partner of
the legendary Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and the Day’s of
47 out of Salt Lake City, UT, will exclusively facilitate the
mobile ticketing and entry during the annual Calgary Stampede
celebration.
“Our goal is to provide Calgary Stampede guests with the best
possible experience, even before they set foot on Stampede Park,”
says Sharon Garnett, the Calgary Stampede’s Director of Event
Operations. “Utilizing everything AXS has to offer will allow us to
tailor the ticket purchasing experience specifically to the needs
of our guests.”
AXS will bring its robust data intelligence and reporting to the
Canadian province, arming the Stampede with real-time data feeds
that will allow the organization to make real-time decisions across
all operations, while offering the best data security and ease of
purchase.
“Purchasing a ticket is often the first big step people make
when planning their visit to the Calgary Stampede. We want to
ensure it is a smooth, seamless experience, and we know partnering
with AXS will help us do that,” says Garnett.
"AXS is incredibly proud to partner with the Calgary Stampede,"
says Rob Sine, Chief Revenue Officer for AXS. "The Calgary Stampede
has a long and successful history. AXS will bring a seamless and
secure ticketing experience to fans while also driving new
technologies and solutions for the Calgary Stampede. We're excited
for Calgary's community to see how this commitment will further
enhance their live experience."
