CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) (www.groupon.com)
today announced that, since its inception in April of 2012, G-Pass has
allowed one million Groupon customers to bypass the box office line and
head straight into the venue to enjoy their favorite band, take in an
off-broadway show or cheer on the home team. The G-Pass ticketing system
grants purchasers direct admission to events, eliminating the need to
visit the box office to pick up tickets before entering a venue.
"Perfecting the customer experience is always a top priority Groupon,"
said Greg Rudin, VP and general manager at Groupon. "G-Pass simply
allows customers to worry less about getting into the venue and focus
more on enjoying the event. And at the same time, it helps alleviate
stress on box office partners."
G-Pass has been adopted by hundreds of merchants across the United
States and Canada, spanning categories such as music, sports, arts and
theater and family events. For subscribers, this means access to presale
opportunities, premium tickets and packages that enhance the experience,
as well as access to some of the most sought-after events in the best
venues. Gaining momentum, G-Pass has already issued more than 700,000
tickets so far this year; some of the noteworthy G-Pass deals include:
