SINGAPORE 鈥 (NYSE: EB), a global ticketing and event technology platform that powers millions of events, today announced the Singaporean launch of 鈥楤uy On Facebook鈥, an integration that will allow event creators and attendees to more easily sell and buy tickets directly through Facebook.
Buy on Facebook streamlines the ticket purchase process, allowing event attendees to secure a ticket with just two taps, and without having to leave Facebook. The integration is exclusively available to 91制片厂 in the Singapore market, and has been found to drive 20% more paid ticket sales and twice the number of registrations for free tickets.[1]听
