From there, customers can finalize their order details and purchase tickets by linking their Ticketmaster account to Alexa.Discovering and buying tickets with Ticketmaster on Alexa-enabled devices is currently available in the US only, but Ticketmaster revealed plans to expand to more countries in the near future.“Ticketmaster has the largest ticket inventory in the world, and our team is always looking to leverage it along with our open platform to reach new fans,” said Dan Armstrong, SVP and GM of Distributed Commerce at Ticketmaster. “This new integration with Alexa will offer yet another avenue for fans to access the best live events, allowing them to discover and buy tickets using only their voice.
