Skiddle closes 2014 with exclusive deals and conference development

It’s been a fantastic 2014 for primary ticket agency and the UK’s biggest what’s on guide,  Skiddle, with record growth augmented by a number of innovative features being added to   enhance the ticket buying and ticket selling experience. As the year comes to an end there’s  a number of achievements they’ve managed to sign off with, just as sales for New Year’s  Eve, the company’s busiest time of the year, look to smash previous records.

Firstly they celebrate two exclusive deals, with underground electronic music specialists
Nightvision bringing their spellbinding event series to Skiddle alone, after being impressed
with the way they handled sales during the brand’s launch in the autumn. The Edinburgh
event series, widely regarded as the best in the city, takes place at various venues around
the Scottish capital with internationally renowned DJs like Annie Mac, Duke Dumont, Eats
Everything and Andy C all involved.

On the opposite side of the country Exeter’s Hijacked Festival has also signed up, with the
6000 capacity electronic music shindig looking to utilise Skiddle’s Rapidscan service to
maximise revenues and customer relations. The ticket provider will also be fully integrating a
shop on the festival’s Facebook page and a white label site ticket option, and will help the
festival power on from its highly lauded debut year.

Skiddle is also pleased to announce an exclusive deal with the Brighton Music
Conference, the UK dance music industry equivalent to international forums such as ADE,
Sonar and IMS. The 2015 event will be the sophomore edition and Skiddle’s presence
marks a concerted commitment to embed themselves deeper within the conferences market,
having worked with the likes of Lancashire’s Red Rose Awards (for the previous three
years) and Birmingham based DJ technology conference BPM in the past. Director Rich
Dyer said this on the development:

“We’ve worked with a number of conferences and awards ceremonies over the year on a
ticketing level, but our drive in 2015 is to become much more heavily integrated with the
discussions and conversations that dominate these events. 

As a business we’ve been active for over a decade, and via our hugely experienced and
rapidly growing team possess a knowledge and expertise well beyond those years. It’s our
intention to utilise this vast skill set and industry know how in much greater detail in 2015”

It’s not all development and innovation for the company though, they’ve closed the year off
with a positive spin as well with over £15,000 raised for Macmillan Cancer support through
their charity checkout donation scheme. That charity has now been changed to Anthony
Nolan after it was the unanimous choice when Skiddle put the question to its Facebook
page.
