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.
