Seaters and Cartan Global Partner to Get More Fans to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 17, 2016 -- Seaters, a New York-based marketing technology company, and Cartan Global, the exclusive authorized ticket reseller for Rio 2016 Olympic Games for 36 countries and territories, have signed a partnership to fill empty seats at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Cartan will use Seaters’ unique technology platform to build wish lists for fans to sign up for the events they want to see. This will allow Cartan to capture additional demand and key analytics while allowing more fans to attend otherwise sold out events.
Jean-Sebastien Gosuin, CEO of Seaters: “Not only will this partnership between Seaters and Cartan Global give more fans access to the games, it will improve the overall atmosphere.”
Seaters began to solve the problem after seeing the London Summer Olympics in 2012 and Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014. Each of these events left many real fans disappointed as supposed “sold out” events appeared to have many empty seats seen on TV and social media. Seaters developed a technology platform that allows sponsors and organizers to fill their empty seats with new demand captured through wish lists. Fan expectations can be managed with Seaters patent pending "Likelihood Algorithm".
Jay Price, Managing Director of Cartan Global, commented the following: “The service we can provide to the fans of the countries we are the exclusive agent for is phenomenal! Instead of announcing a sold out session, fans can join our wish lists and will be served whenever a ticket becomes available. As we are in contact with other official agencies and sponsors, and because we know there are always empty seats, we will be able to get as many fans as possible to the Olympic Games!”
Events at the Rio 2016 Olympics are expected to have 1% to 10% of their seats unfilled while being announced as "sold out". By using the Seaters platform, Cartan Global will ensure that as many fans as possible will be able to attend the games.
