Proposed Sale of Vivendi’s Festival and International Ticketing Activities to CTS EVENTIM - Seite 2
With CTS EVENTIM, Vivendi has found a fitting new home for its festival and international ticketing activities. The German company is the number one provider of ticketing and live entertainment services in Europe and number two in the world. It works passionately with promoters and artists to create exceptional live entertainment for fans worldwide – from global tours and regional concerts to major sporting events. The EVENTIM LIVE network, with 39 members, is the largest festival promoter in Europe. CTS EVENTIM has been in the festival business for many years, and is committed to continually expanding this vibrant segment.
The transaction will ensure maximum continuity for staff, partners, the festivals themselves and the regions where they are held. Both See Tickets and the festival business will retain their existing identities and management.
In line with its transformation strategy, Vivendi ensured internal and external growth of its ticketing and festival activities, adapting them to the latest customer and audience expectations. These assets are now ready to enter a new stage in their development with a Europe-based company that has a major presence in the global live entertainment sector.
Vivendi's performance hall activities, including L'Olympia in Paris, as well as See Tickets France and Brive Festival, are not part of this agreement.
