KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Global ticketing and event technology platform, Eventbrite has expanded into the Asian market with the launch of its first localised platform in Singapore.
The launch in the island republic is the company’s first foray into Asia’s booming events market, follows the sizeable organic growth and adoption of Eventbrite in the Asia Pacific region.
The localised platform at its website (eventbrite.sg) will empower Singaporean event creators with innovative solutions to help them create experiences and sell even more tickets, including curated local content, seamless native checkout and payment processing in Singapore Dollars.
Eventbrite Asia Pacific General Manager, Phil Silverstone said Singapore was a nation where live experiences were deeply woven into the cultural fabric.
“From its dynamic arts festivals to its world-famous food scene, there is always something new and exciting to do in the Lion City; and it is a market we view as strategic to Eventbrite’s long-term success in the Asia Pacific region," he said.
