MOVETIX, the global ticketing platform for events and concerts on the AirAsia MOVE app, has partnered with Ticketmelon, a leading regional ticketing and event technology platform.
Through this collaboration, Ticketmelon’s extensive inventory of over 300,000 tickets across the ASEAN region will be integrated into the AirAsia MOVE app, providing travelers and event-goers with a seamless experience to book flights, accommodations, event tickets, and even airport transfers—all in one convenient app.
This partnership comes at a time where live events tourism is growing at unprecedented rates, with sports tourism leading the way valued at $564.7 billion and is expected to almost double in value to $1.33 trillion by 2032, while music tourism is projected to contribute an additional $13.8 billion, more than doubling its current valuation of $6.6 billion.
