International Ticketing App TodayTix Debuts in the Lone Star State
New York, NY (April 11, 2018) – TodayTix, the international ticketing platform on a mission to redefine the way people experience theater, is now available in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, offering the best-priced tickets to the hottest shows these markets have to offer. TodayTix now serves audiences in 13 of the most thriving arts markets globally.
For TodayTix’s Texas launch, the company has partnered with more than 30 of the premiere performing arts organizations in these regions, with more to join in the coming weeks. Early-adopting Houston partners include, but are not limited to, the Houston Grand Opera, Alley Theatre, Theatre Under the Stars, Stages Repertory Theatre, Society for the Performing Arts and Opera in the Heights. Within Dallas-Forth Worth, TodayTix users can now see performances at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Theater Center, The Cliburn, Dallas Opera, Texas Ballet Theater, Casa Mañana, Circle Theatre and many more.
"When looking at where we wanted to debut TodayTix in the South, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth were no-brainers," Brian Fenty, TodayTix Co-Founder and CEO, said. "These cities have some of the most diverse cultural landscapes in the region with award-winning theater, ballet, opera, symphony performances and beyond, and we are excited to make it easier than ever for native Texans and visitors alike to discover and enjoy all there is to offer."
TodayTix’s signature programs, including mobile Lottery and mobile Rush, have successfully helped partners build excitement and ticket sales around new shows with the app’s ability to uniquely engage new, young audiences. Multiple ticketing access programs are planned to roll out in both Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, with the first exclusive Rush program launching later this month with “The Trials of Sam Houston” at the Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center. TodayTix users will be able to access Rush tickets right on their phone, first come first serve, beginning at 9am for every performance date.
Successful signature programs in other cities include The Friday Forty with Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child;” mobile Lotteries for Broadway's “Fun Home” and “Cirque du Soleil Paramour,” The Public Theater’s “Hamilton” and “Kinky Boots” in London; mobile Rush for Broadway’s “Children of a Lesser God;” and Free First Previews at the Award-winning Public Theater in New York.
