Etix’s Commitment to Community Experience Appeals to Collection of Milwaukee’s Most Historic Theaters
Milwaukee, WI (Etix) May 12, 2015—The Pabst Theater Group has announced the signing of a multi-year agreement with Etix to become the official ticketing provider for three historic venues located in Milwaukee, WI: The Pabst Theater, The Riverside Theater, and Turner Hall Ballroom. This new partnership will enhance The Pabst Theater Group customer experience, including the creation of a Pabst Theater Group App as well as a loyalty program.
Gary Witt, CEO of Pabst Theater Group, said, “From our inception, the focus of the Pabst Theater Group has been on developing its community while working in a business that is based upon selling tickets. As we continue to seek ways to better serve this community, we’ve grown to become incredibly selective about choosing our partners. When selecting a ticketing provider, once again our focus was on doing what was best for our community. With more than 400 shows each year, we needed a ticketing partner that has a tangible presence, both for us and for our community. We chose Etix because they have a reputation for providing world-class customer service, and we know that our community will appreciate that personal touch when they need it most.”
“We’re proud to have the honor to work with such an impressive and historic collection of venues in the Pabst Theater Group,” added Travis Janovich, CEO of Etix. “Building partnerships that provide added benefits to our clients is a top priority for us, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to help provide even more value to the Pabst community. Etix is going to work to keep their community engaged year-round.”
