LEGENDARY BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB TO OPEN IN LONDON ON 23 SEPTEMBER
Today Blue Note London announces Ticketmaster as ticketing partner for its first UK Blue Note Jazz Club in London’s West End.
Ticketmaster will provide the Blue Note Jazz Club with secure and seamless ticketing, as well as access to unrivalled marketing reach and a global audience as the club opens on 23 September.
Blue Note London will benefit from Ticketmaster’s huge audience of live music fans, backed by dedicated marketing support and the scale of the world’s leading ticketing marketplace. From high-impact digital marketing to powerful discovery across Ticketmaster’s channels, the partnership will put Blue Note London and its shows in front of millions of potential fans.
Blue Note London will also roll out Ticketmaster’s SafeTix technology. The encrypted, digital ticketing system uses rotating, dynamic barcodes and NFC technology to help prevent fraud – this will provide better control over how tickets are distributed, stronger protection against touting and duplication, and a smoother entry experience for fans using mobile and digital wallet tickets.
Sarah Slater, Managing Director at Ticketmaster UK, said: “It’s a privilege to continue building our relationship with Blue Note globally as it opens its first UK venue. Blue Note has played a huge role in jazz for decades, and its arrival in London is a significant addition to a live music scene that’s thriving. We’re excited to support that next chapter, using Ticketmaster’s technology, marketing reach and global audience to connect more fans with the artists playing at Blue Note London and make getting into shows as simple and secure as possible.”
Steven Bensusan, President Blue Note Entertainment Group, says: “For over two decades, Ticketmaster has been more than a partner to Blue Note, they’ve been part of our story. As we open Blue Note London, we’re proud to bring that trusted relationship to a new home and a new audience. Few companies understand the live music experience the way Ticketmaster does, and that’s exactly why they’re the right partner for this next chapter.”
By utilising Blue Note’s global audience, Ticketmaster will help connect the brand’s international fanbase with its new London home.
Blue Note London will open next month, with five-time GRAMMY-winning artist Robert Glasper headlining the club’s grand opening on 23 and 24 September, before returning for a further seven shows in November. Upcoming performances and residencies include Queen of Neo-Soul and five-time GRAMMY winner Erykah Badu, jazz-pop singer, pianist, songwriter Jamie Cullum, multi-award winning saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia, iconic drummer Yussef Dayes, afrobeat collective KOKOROKO, East London singer and rapper Hak Baker, and many more.
