The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

“One of the key factors that drives this market’s growth is the growing infrastructure for live events.

Moreover, the increasing usage of live video screens along with personalized audio is predicted to enhance further this market’s growth prospects over the next four years,” says Soumya Mutsuddi, Lead Analyst, Media & Entertainment, Technavio Research.

Mobile ticket sales is gaining huge momentum in the global secondary tickets market. Mobile tickets enable customers to book tickets and venue for concerts, sporting events, or live performances by using the app. Individuals can book tickets as per their convenience and store them in their mobiles, which eliminates the need of any hard copy. Mobile ticket sales also help in in-app advertising, thereby reducing costs and generating more sales.
