BOSTON, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The San Diego Symphony has partnered with leading secure digital ticket delivery service True Tickets to enhance their patrons’ ticketing experience. The partnership seamlessly integrates the True Tickets digital ticketing service into the San Diego Symphony’s existing platform to provide a secure process for purchasing and managing tickets, as well as engaging with attendees.
The San Diego Symphony is one of the leading cultural institutions in the country and the oldest orchestra in California, performing a wide range of contemporary and classical music, including works by living composers and experimental pieces that push the boundaries of traditional orchestral music. The Symphony is moving into a stellar summer season that will feature performances from a number of high-profile artists at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, its open-air venue on the San Diego Bay. The summer lineup includes Buddy Guy, Patti LaBelle, Van Morrison, Jethro Tull, and more.
In the fall of 2023, the orchestra is preparing to take the stage in a beautifully renovated Jacobs Music Center. Highlights of the season will include Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” with the California Festival Chorus, featuring voices from some of the best choruses in the state, and soloists Angela Meade and Anna Larsson as well as the West Coast Premieres of works by Mason Bates, Gabriela Ortiz and Billy Childs.
True Tickets offers secure, contactless digital ticket delivery and control over how each ticket is transacted and managed. Its rules-based ticket sharing functionality helps limit the number of tickets that land in the secondary marketplace while allowing ticket holders to easily and securely transfer their tickets to friends or family members using customizable rules set by the venue.
"We are thrilled to partner with True Tickets and offer our patrons a seamless digital ticketing experience,” said Casey Patterson, Director of Ticket Services, Partnerships and Premium Seating at San Diego Symphony. “True Tickets is truly a one of a kind product in the market — an innovative solution that delivers enhanced data security and customer insights.”
Steven Dobesh, co-founder and CFO of True Tickets, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with the San Diego Symphony, citing his personal connection to the area as a former Navy officer stationed in San Diego. Dobesh stated, "I'm thrilled for True Tickets to collaborate with the San Diego Symphony in providing secure tools that can help foster a more meaningful relationship with their audience. This is crucial for the success of live events."
