Ticket Purchasers Will Be Able To “Flip” Their Tickets Both Before The Festival And If They Leave Early.

Panama City Beach, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/20/2021 -- FlipTix, the ticketing platform allowing ticket holders to "Flip" tickets if they leave an event early, and Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam have announced that as part of their ongoing partnership ticket holders will be able to Flip their tickets both before the festival if they can no longer attend, as well as during the Festival if they leave early. The rescheduled 2020 Labor Day weekend country music festival will take place June 4th-6th at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach, Fla.

"With the return of Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, after a pause during 2020, we recognize our fans may need more flexibility to change their plans. Our partnership with FlipTix and the addition of pre-event Flips bring that needed flexibility, while providing a great customer experience and strengthening our brand," said Mark Sheldon, COO of Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. "After a great response by our fans to FlipTix in 2019, we are excited to provide an expansion of FlipTix services for 2021."

Fans that purchase pre-festival Flips through FlipTix will receive a 5% discount towards box office tickets for the upcoming Labor Day 2021 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. Ticket purchasers that list their tickets through FlipTix for Flipping prior to the Festival will receive a majority portion of the sale price back when another fan buys their Flip. Additionally, as at the 2019 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, once the festival gets underway, Flips will be available when ticket holders inside the venue leave early, with prices based on the time remaining (and other variables). Fans Flipping tickets receive compensation after a Buyer purchases their unused time. Buyers pick up their new, activated wristband at the official FlipTix tent positioned at the festival entrance.

This year, Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam will feature concert headliners Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cody Jinks, Cole Swindell, Brothers Osborne and many other musical acts. As the first major country music festival in the US since Covid-19 shut-downs, the three-day festival is expected to sell out.

In 2018, FlipTix was named by CNET as one of the Top 10 concert ticket apps. The Newport Beach, Calif.-based company, has partnered with a growing roster of multi-day festivals across the U.S., including KAABOO, Clusterfest Comedy Festival, BUKU Music + Art Project, Off the Rails Country Music Festival and the rock show Sonic Temple, as well as many others.

"Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam is a solid partner for our company. We are thrilled to both continue and expand our partnership," said Jaime Siegel. "FlipTix was well received by fans at the 2019 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, and we are very excited to be a part of the first major music festival in the United States in over a year."

Shakey Graves and Major Lazer are the First Pre-Event Flip Events at White Oak Music Hall

Newport Coast, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/23/2020 -- FlipTix®, the creator of the Flip® platform that allows event promoters to sell new tickets once seats have been vacated, and White Oak Music Hall, the innovator in GRID concerts are thrilled to announce the launch of GRID Flips, where purchasers of GRID tickets for White Oak's upcoming sold out GRID concerts will be able to Flip their tickets if they are unable to attend the concerts.

"Since the start of the pandemic, music fans have had limited options to enjoy live concert events," said Johnny So, co-managing partner of White Oak Music Hall. "Despite that, there is a strong desire for fans to see shows in a responsible way, taking common-sense precautions against the spread of COVID-19. We believe the GRID Concert Series achieves that."

The partnership with FlipTix enables concertgoers flexibility if they can no longer attend a concert. Ticket purchasers will be able to submit their tickets for a Flip through the White Oak Music Hall website, and once a purchaser buys the Flip, brand new tickets will be issued. The original GRID ticket purchaser will get back 85% of their purchase price, and the Flip® purchaser will be able to buy a GRID for the box office price.

"White Oak Music Hall is leading the charge for providing a safe environment for concerts," said FlipTix CEO Jaime Siegel. "A traditional secondary market is not workable for a grid based system, where it is critical to maintain the integrity of a single grid with attendees from the same group. The FlipTix pre-event Flip® product provides fans the flexibility that they expect, and will enable White Oak to ensure that its limited capacity facility is full, driving revenue from food and beverage sales during the concerts. FlipTix will be the only authorized way for WhiteOak Grid concert purchasers to sell their space if they cannot attend a show."

In today's environment, the health and safety of concert attendees is of the utmost importance. FlipTix provides a secure platform that ensures consumers get authentic tickets, while also supplying a safe and contactless transactional environment. The White Oak Music Hall Flip exchange will be live this week, in advance of the upcoming Shakey Graves shows on October 23 and 24 and the Major Lazer shows on October 26. More GRID concerts are coming, and will be Flip® enabled.

Founder of the Warped Tour to Advise CEO

Newport Coast, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/06/2020 -- FlipTix® , the creator of the Flip® platform that allows event promoters to sell new tickets once seats have been vacated, is thrilled to announce that music festival legend Kevin Lyman has joined its CEO Advisory Board.

"FlipTix is one of the most innovative platforms that has hit the live event space in years," said Kevin Lyman, who created the Vans Warped Tour. "As the industry emerges from the current crisis, and capacities are likely to be reduced, the ability of the FlipTix platform to sell brand new tickets when fans leave events early will provide a key revenue opportunity, that could make the difference between being profitable and not. No one does what FlipTix does."

"Kevin immediately understood how the FlipTix platform is going to be critical for promoters in a post COVID-19 world," said FlipTix CEO Jaime Siegel. "The combination of providing additional revenue to promoters and flexibility for attendees is going from a 'nice to have' to a 'must have'."

FlipTix is uniquely positioned to help promoters, teams and event organizers keep their venue capacities filled in the era of social distancing. FlipTix is the only company in the world that can sell a new ticket, during an event based upon a previously occupied seat.

Using FlipTix, registered users that have indicated an interest in an event get push notifications when Flips are available. Unlike secondary market sellers, FlipTix never charges above box office price for traditional ticket Flips, and buyers never pay a fee. Prices for buyers are established based on the amount of time left in an event (along with other variables). FlipTix works with primary ticketing providers to support any type of event.

Through the FlipTix web- and app-based ticketing platform, event attendees can Flip® their tickets when they leave an event early and recoup value. FlipTix partners with promoters to generate truly accretive revenue and data for those promoters.
