News: AXS to become new Official Ticketing Partner for Utilita Arena Newcastle

Utilita Arena Newcastle joins Playhouse Whitley Bay and announces AXS as their new new Official Ticketing Partner 

Enhancing ticket-buying experiences with a user-friendly interface, cutting-edge technology and unparalleled customer service

Excellent news for music and event lovers across the North East and beyond, as AXS becomes the new ticketing partner for major local venue, Utilita Arena Newcastle. The transition takes place today, 16 July, and celebrates a major step towards enhancing ticketing experiences for all customers.

The largest concert and exhibition venue in the North East, Utilita Arena Newcastle plays host to live music, comedy, dance, entertainment shows, sporting events and so much more. Making the switch to AXS will streamline the ticket-buying process for customers, offering a user-friendly platform created to make purchasing tickets easier and smoother than ever. With their innovative technology, AXS is committed to ensuring a safer experience for all attendees, employing advanced security measures such as AXS Mobile ID and AXS Official Resale to protect the venue and its customers.

This announcement follows ticket partnerships with four other notable UK venues - first direct arena in Leeds, Whitley Bay Playhouse, York Barbican and Connexin Live Hull - and is part of a continued growing partnership between AXS and ASM Global, the world's largest and most trusted venue management and services company who operate those venues.

AXS continues to gain momentum in the UK as a preferred ticketing platform, known for its cutting-edge technology and unparalleled customer service. AXS is already the proven ticketing partner for a host of major UK event venues, such as The O2, BST Hyde Park, and Dreamland Margate, amongst others. With a track record of success in delivering ticketing solutions for some of the world's most high-profile shows, including the recent Bruce Springsteen Tour which visited the North East, AXS continues to set new standards for the industry.

In addition to enhancing the ticketing process, AXS is deeply committed to ensuring safe and secure access to events for both customers and venues. Their comprehensive approach includes strong procedures to prevent fraud, alongside their AXS Mobile ID digital entry system. AXS also utilises AXS Official Resale, which gives fans the best opportunity to access 100% valid tickets safely and simply – all in one place – for a fair price.
