So a few lucky readers will nab themselves a season ticket to Africa’s numero uno entertainment venue tomorrow, and whilst they’ll celebrate the rest of you might have been wondering just what venue we were talking about?
Well the cat is finally out of the bag on this one and we can bring you the big news here first. South Africa’s leading ticketing innovator, Ticketpro, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Label Telecoms Limited, has secured a seven year sponsorship deal of one of Johannesburg’s most recognisable landmarks, The Dome in Northgate. The venue will undergo a name change and will now be known as the TicketproDome from 25 March 2015.
“The Dome is an iconic landmark in Johannesburg and has hosted a series of international stars, as well as successful expos. This sponsorship is a logical next step in our evolution as a multi-service events partner. Through this partnership, we will take events hosted at the TicketproDome to the next level,” notes Werner van Reenen, Chief Executive Officer of SA Distribution at Blue Label Telecoms Limited.
Carol Weaving, Managing Director of Thebe Reed Venue Management, sees massive potential for the newly rebranded Dome, building on its already impressive track record as a premium, versatile venue.
“It is a great honour and privilege to welcome Ticketpro as naming rights sponsor of The Dome. We look forward to growing this relationship and further building The Dome’s presence in South Africa.Since being approached by Sasol Pension Fund, (the venue’s owners) in 2003, Thebe Reed Venue Management has taken The Dome to new heights, continuously setting the precedent for professional venue management in Southern Africa”.
“The Dome is the most flexible entertainment space in Africa and certainly one of South Africa’s most loved and successful venues. The partnership with Ticketpro will allow The Dome to provide visitors with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class events”, she added.
There you have it fans of a good jol, the TicketproDome is set to take things to the next level and promises to keep bringing the best international and local entertainment to our shores. Nice one folks, let the good times roll.
