Don’t you love when you have an idea, and after years of putting thought into it, but not much else, an answer falls into your lap? That’s what happened with the Artsburgh Flex Pass when our Client Success Manager, Amy Kline, met Rusty Thelin from Real/Time Interventions at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council Annual Meeting.
They started a dialogue about how to develop a program that would allow arts fans from all over the city to buy tickets from one place and use them at hundreds of events, offering more choice and flexibility. With the support of Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council (GPAC), our customizable event technology, and a steering committee that includes Rusty Thelin and Molly Rice from Real/Time, Dek Ingraham from GPAC, Rene Conrad from the New Hazlett Theatre, and our very own Amy Kline, we are proud to present Artsburgh Flex Passes.
Artsburgh Flex Passes invite arts fans to purchase tickets that can be used at any participating arts event. Partner organizations and available events are searchable on Artsburgh.org, and passes are available now. Flex Passes allow for unlimited flexibility: buy as many passes as you like and see one show at the New Hazlett, an innovative new performance at Real/Time, and a new play at Pittsburgh New Works, or grab the squad and head out together to see a Texture Contemporary Ballet concert! This innovative opportunity for ticket buyers and ticket sellers alike allows for the ultimate in flexibility.
Brian Arnone, President of ShowClix and CRO of Patron Technology, expressed excitement over the partnership saying, “ShowClix is thrilled to partner with Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and so many local arts organizations, and to have the opportunity to showcase our platform to such a broad audience.”
Mitch Swain, CEO of Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, agrees: “Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council is pleased to join ShowClix to offer the Artsburgh Flex Pass – this partnership will lift the visibility and viability of our high-quality arts scene while offering great deals to arts lovers. Artsburgh is the perfect vehicle to make this happen – our new event site that showcases to many art happenings. It’s easy to find everything you want in arts and culture in Artsburgh.”
