TicketWeb: TicketWeb strikes exclusive partnership with St John-at-Hackney

Ticketmaster subsidiary TicketWeb has announced an exclusive partnership with 1,400-capacity London venue St John-at-Hackney. Five years ago, the church invited musicians to perform in the space and it has since hosted concerts by artists such as Bloc Party, Florence + The Machine, Daughter, Cat Power and Benjamin Clementine. Coldplay launched their new album Head Full of Dreamsat the venue last December, in conjunction with BBC Radio One. TicketWeb is the only advertised source for tickets to the east London venue via its website and all social media channels."I am delighted to be working with TicketWeb at St John-at-Hackney," said venue director Katharine Walters. "I feel there is excellent synergy between our companies given TicketWeb's commitment to supporting new music and emerging artists."St John-at-Hackney might be over 200 years old but as a venue we are still at the relatively early stages of an incredibly exciting journey and being based in Hackney our programme often features some of the newest trends. The TicketWeb team is ever friendly, helpful and available to me, providing an excellent service to both myself and my clients." Upcoming artists set to appear at the venue include Frightened Rabbit, Rufus Wainwright and Tim Hecker.TicketWeb MD Sam Isles said, "TicketWeb's partnership with St John-at-Hackney is yet another example of the how our unique ticketing set-up, which provides a fully functioning, self-service box office system, is the most efficient and attractive offer for all parties - the venue, the artist, and the fans.
