Preston ticket company reports best ever end of year

Christmas and New Year are popular occasions for those looking to socialise, and Skiddle, the Preston-based ticketing agency and what’s on guide, can happily say that 2013 was their most successful end-of-year so far. Continuing to embody their ‘Weekends Matter’ slogan, Skiddle have reported that they were the UK’s largest guide for all New Year’s Eve events, with a 50% year-on-year visitor growth.

The firm says that 2.5 million people used Skiddle to find a New Year’s Eve event, and tickets were being sold more than a week in advance, despite the peak purchasing time usually lying in the three days leading up to the 31st December.

Skiddle Director Richard Dyer commented that: “2013 has been a really amazing year for us, we’ve gone from strength to strength and it’s always good to end the year on such a positive note.

“In 2013 we built and strengthened some great relationships and off the back of these expect exciting developments to come in 2014.”

Skiddle recently launched a regional advertising campaign with one of Media Agency Group’s two outdoor divisions, Transport Media, amplifying their presence across the city of Manchester through taxi and bus superside advertising.

Lee Dentith, CEO of Media Agency Group, said: “It’s brilliant to see one of our clients enjoying such a great performance, and we look forward to seeing what innovations Skiddle will bring to their sector in 2014.”
