Ticketing People are People Too – Norsk Toppfotball
Our Hot Tickets Programme invites leading organisations to TheTicketingBusiness Forum who are looking to evaluate upgrades to their ticketing, CRM, membership or digital marketing platforms in the next 18 months and will be ‘shopping around’ on site.
In an effort to get to know our Hot Ticket recipients (we like to call them Hotties) a little better, we asked each of them a few questions in a quickfire interview.
It would be pretty boring to just ask about the upgrades they are evaluating at the Forum (although of course we asked this too), so we threw in a few curve ball questions too. Enjoy!
Next up is Thomas Torjusen, Head of Media & IT / CDO for Norsk Toppfotball, who will be joining the Forum on 17-18 April at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester.
