LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Live Nation and
Uber today announced a marketing partnership which will provide
concert and festival goers an easy way to get to and from certain
Live Nation events when riding with Uber.
Uber services will be offered for 20 festivals throughout the
year, 62 select Live Nation amphitheaters, clubs and theaters
across the U.S. Festivals including the Electric Daisy Carnival,
Faster Horses, Music Midtown, HARD Summer Music Festival, and more
will be a part of this great program. [Full list is below].
"Fans want the journey to and from a concert to be as smooth as
possible," said Russell Wallach,
President of Live Nation Media & Sponsorships. "Uber offers a
convenient alternative to driving for riders to any event, and we
are thrilled about the experience this brings for all of our
fans."
This unique marketing partnership lets fans focus more on the
music experience by having easy transportation methods and
designated drop-off and pick-up locations, where available, and
reduces the frustration associated with traffic and other driving
concerns — just fun, friends and music.
Building off of the existing integration of Uber's API on Live
Nation's mobile application, announced earlier this year, this
marketing partnership also simplifies the process of getting a ride
to a venue with the inclusion of the automatic address feature,
allowing concertgoers a quick, simple way to request an Uber when
they want to head to a show with the destination already pre-loaded
into the Uber app.
"We're excited to create this marketing partnership with Live
Nation to provide a hassle-free experience for concertgoers," said
Amy Friedlander Hoffman, Head of
Business Development, West Coast for Uber. "Fans just want to enjoy
the show, and the new Uber ride program means they can get in and
out with a touch of a button."
As part of this exciting opportunity, new users to Uber will get
one free ride up to $20 off when
getting to or from certain Live Nation events by entering the code
LIVENATION. Each participating venue and festival will
supply a unique promotional code that can be applied by new
users and redeemed for a free ride. Certain restrictions apply.
*
The first events of the marketing partnership start with the
Sasquatch! music festival on May
22-25 and Electric Daisy Carnival New York on May 23-24.
More information can be found on the Uber blog at
http://blog.uber.com/livenation.
*Each Uber promotional code is valid for new users on a
one-time basis for up to $20 off a
first ride in the U.S. only, expires Dec.
31, 2016.
