AXS To Become New Ticketing Partner for Connexin Live

Exciting news for music and event lovers in Hull and beyond, as AXS becomes the new ticketing partner for state-of-the-art venue complex, Connexin Live Hull. The transition takes place today, 13 March, and marks a significant step towards enhancing ticketing experiences for all customers, whilst also helping to prevent touts and inflated ticket prices.

The ultimate destination for entertainment in Hull and East Riding, Connexin Live Hull is one of the biggest venues in the region, with over 500,000 visitors having experienced events there since opening in 2018. Making the switch to AXS will streamline the ticket-buying process for customers, offering a user-friendly platform designed to make purchasing tickets easier and smoother than ever before. With their innovative technology, AXS is committed to ensuring a safer experience for all attendees, employing advanced security measures to protect both the venue and its customers.

This announcement is a result of a new partnership between AXS, a leading company in live entertainment and sports ticketing, and ASM Global, the world's largest and most trusted venue management and services company who operate Connexin Live Hull.

AXS has rapidly gained momentum as a preferred ticketing platform, known for its user-friendly interface, cutting-edge technology and unparalleled customer service. With a track record of success in delivering ticketing solutions for some of the world's most high-profile events and venues, including the Taylor Swift Era’s Tour and, more recently, the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, AXS continues to set new standards for the industry.

In addition to enhancing the ticketing process, AXS is deeply committed to the safety and security of both venues and customers. Their comprehensive approach to security includes robust measures to prevent fraud, such as Bot Prevention and Waiting Rooms, and their digital system AXS Mobile ID.
