She launched Mellow Yellow Music Festival in 2019 and writes a popular blog about the local music and culture scene\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>What are the key current challenges and opportunities in ticketing?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chris B:<\/strong> I see customer experience is a definite current challenge here in Hong Kong. I&#8217;ve heard some nightmare experiences recently from people trying to buy tickets to a show (not mine!) who encountered difficult, unnecessary hurdles as well as website glitches.<\/p>\n<p>I think ticketing platforms have a great opportunity to leverage data analytics to find out their customer preferences and market trends, which in turn could help to optimise pricing for events.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the most interesting trends you are witnessing?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chris B:<\/strong> Customers being comfortable with digital tickets without the need to print them out to bring to the event! Finally!<\/p>\n<h3>What are your plans over the coming year, and what are you most looking forward to exploring at TheTicketingBusiness Asia?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chris B:<\/strong> We plan to host more live music events in the coming year. At TheTicketingBusiness Asia, I will be on the lookout for new and better ticketing systems plus I look forward to hearing about case studies and innovative approaches to event promotion and management throughout Asia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join Chris B and hundreds of ticketing and events execs at TheTicketingBusiness ASIA 2023 #TAS23, which takes place at The Wave in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong on 17-18 October.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019ll explore what\u2019s happening across sales, marketing and engagement tech for arts, culture, sports, live music, theme parks and visitor attractions throughout the APAC entertainment market.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of TheTicketingBusiness ASIA 2023, The Underground HK\u2019s Chris B discusses the current trends in the events sector from the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[44,40,43,45],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-attendance","tag-chris-b","tag-guest-spotlight","tag-hong-kong","tag-the-underground-hk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.9 (Yoast SEO v23.7) -
