Gateway Ticketing Systems, a leading provider of admission control systems, has announced the onboarding of eleven new distributors since July 2021.
The company’s Galaxy Connect system allows its customers to sell tickets via its Galaxy Ticketing and Guest Experience solution through third-party distributor websites. Connect enables online travel agencies to progress from paper vouchers to live digital tickets, ensuring customers are completely satisfied from purchase through to the ticket gate.
Wanda Kalbach, Connect’s distribution partner says: “What impresses me the most about these new certified distributors is the diversity of their businesses and the ways we came to a partnership.
“Some sell directly to consumers, some to businesses. Some were introduced to us by our current customers who want to sell on their platforms, and we met others at tradeshows. They are also from all over the world. It really shows how expansively useful Galaxy Connect is in driving revenue across the industry.”
