Telstra says Thanks with Michael Buble pre-sale tickets
Telstra customers will be able to purchase tickets to Canadian superstar Michael Bublé’s Australian tour before the general public.
From 10am Monday 29 July 2013 all Telstra customers will have access to a 48-hour pre-sale to purchase tickets. Telstra will also be offering its customers money can’t buy experiences including the chance to take part in meet and greets and backstage tours at shows across five states.
Telstra Director of CRM, Digital and Loyalty Marketing, Nick Adams, said Australians have always loved Michael Bublé and when his eighth studio album went straight to number one on the ARIA charts Telstra wanted to give its customers the chance to secure their tickets before the general public.
“We are thrilled Michael is going to all major cities on his tour because it means we can bring this offer to even more of our customers,” he said. “As Michael Bublé’s presenting partner for his Australian tour, Telstra will be offering customers the chance to meet him back stage as well as a behind the scenes tour of the concert area.
“Our research indicates that our customers rate live music among their highest categories of personal interest. Providing access to highly sought after concert tickets before they go on sale to the general public is a fantastic way to reward them for their loyalty,” Mr Adams said.
Promoter of the Michael Bublé tour, Paul Dainty said, “We are once again delighted and excited to be partnering with the Telstra Thanks program to ensure their millions of customers nationwide get priority access to buy tickets to enjoy another favourite artist of ours – Michael Bublé.”
Mr Adams said it was important the Telstra Thanks program gave customers rewards that were tangible and immediately redeemable.
“Since launching ‘Thanks Music’ Telstra has announced pre-sale tickets for four concerts including the presenting partner to Bon Jovi’s Because We Can tour. These concerts highlight exactly why the ‘Thanks Music’ program was developed. We can offer our customers access to iconic Australian artists like Bernard Fanning, international chart toppers like Olly Murs, rock royalty like Bon Jovi and now Canadian superstar Michael Bublé.”
“The launch of the Telstra Thanks program marks the next phase in our strategy to put the customer at the centre of everything we do and drive customer advocacy. Building a reward program that gives our customers unique access to the types of entertainment they value is vital. We began with movies, we are now well underway with music and we will have more exciting reward announcements to come.”
