Barclaycard Entertainment offers gig goers multiple perks

Barclaycard has launched a series of exclusive benefits for live entertainment fans.

Barclaycard Entertainment will be offering cardholders the likes of 5% back on tickets, 10% off exclusive presales to such festivals as Download, The Isle of Wight Festival, and Reading and Leeds, and 5% off food and drink at O2 Academy venues.

“Today’s consumers want to spend on experiences rather than things, whether that’s a day out at one of the UK’s iconic music festivals or an intimate comedy show by an up-and-coming performer. With Barclaycard Entertainment we can offer cardholders exclusive benefits to help them get more out of every live event,” says Daniel Mathieson, Head of Experiential Marketing and Partnerships at Barclaycard.

“In addition to offering new customer benefits, we’re also excited to help more venues across the UK speed up their payments process. With technology changing faster than ever, it’s important to keep up with consumer expectations and we’re keen to use our expertise to ensure the entertainment industry stays competitive – and perhaps becomes a hotbed for innovation in the future.”
