First Avenue Is Ending Their Contract With Ticketmaster

First Avenue is pleased to be working with a ticketing provider better suited for both our customers and internal operations.  First Avenue General Manager Nate Kranz says, "After reviewing our options, we chose Etix because it offers streamlined purchasing as well as significantly lower service fees.  

We're confident people looking to buy First Avenue tickets will see a major change in both their wallets and ticket buying experience." Depending on the ticket, customers can expect a 20-40% lower price per ticket than previously with Ticketmaster. Etix also offers social media integration where First Avenue tickets can be purchased directly from our Facebook page.

The international web-based ticketing service provider is also excited about the new partnership. Etix CEO Travis Janovich says, "First Avenue is one of the oldest and most esteemed venues in the country. We're honored to be ticketing such a legendary club. We forge deep, long-term relationships with our clients, and we look forward to ushering First Avenue into another 40+ years of world-class live music."
