TheTicketingBusiness is delighted to unveil the Finalists for the ticketing sector’s 2021 Awards.
Our congratulations to all of our finalists for making the shortlists. It’s been a difficult and challenging time for our sector but across the nominations we’ve found no shortage of endeavours which we should collectively recognise, throw the spotlight on and – in many cases – simply celebrate.
Meanwhile, the Judges’ Dossier (with the nominations and supporting evidence) is being compiled and will be on its way to the Judging Panel for final adjudication ahead of the Winners Party in Manchester on 2nd December.
