viagogo, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, has marked its launch in Australia this week by unveiling a three-year partnership to become the official ticket marketplace of the Richmond Football Club.
viagogo will provide the club’s official ticket portal, which gives Richmond members and fans secure access to tickets to an unrivalled choice of events in Australia and all over the world, up to the last minute and even if they are sold out at the box office.
viagogo has operations in nearly 50 countries and provides a secure platform on which people can buy and sell tickets to live events safely, securely and with the guarantee that buyers will receive the tickets they bought in time for the event and sellers will get paid.
Richmond joins nearly a hundred of the biggest names in sports and entertainment that already work with viagogo across the world, including Chelsea FC, FC Bayern Munich, the French Open and several European music festivals.
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said: “Our partnership with viagogo will give our fans and members convenient and secure access to the greatest events in Australia and all over the world. We are delighted to be working with the industry leader in secondary ticketing to widen access to live sport and entertainment for Richmond supporters.”
viagogo CEO Eric Baker said: “Since we founded the business in 2006, viagogo has revolutionised the way people buy and sell tickets to sports and entertainment events across the globe. We are proud to be launching our service in Australia following great success in nearly 50 other countries around the world.
“Gone are the days of missing out on tickets to your favourite events, or having to take your chances buying tickets on auction sites or from people lurking around outside a venue. Our partnership with Richmond means that no supporter ever has to take a risk buying a ticket without a guarantee.”
