Echo Arena Liverpool, part of ACC Liverpool, has become the first events arena in the UK to launch an app for the iPhone. The application which is free to download on iTunes allows users easy access to the arena’s forthcoming events, ticket availability and prices.
The option for a quick link to the website enables online bookings to be made as well as a direct ‘call box office’ function for convenience. The GPS tracking feature will assist visitors in finding the arena and also give directions to nearby train and bus stations.
Tim Banfield, General Manager Echo Arena said, “We are very excited to be the first arena in the UK to have produced an iPhone app. Our aim is to make our visitor’s experience in searching, booking and arriving as simple as possible. We are confident that the app will contribute to bringing more business to Echo Arena and the city of Liverpool.
“With an active Twitter and Facebook presence we wanted to continue to engage with our customers on the technological front and offer them the convenience of instantly searching and booking events for the Echo Arena directly from their mobile phone.”
The iPhone app enhances the Echo Arena’s product offering for visitors, firmly putting the venue on the map and setting the benchmark for others. This is version 1 of the application – a second version is already in development which will include further features to help spread the word about the arena’s programme of events.
To download the app for free, log on to the iTunes App Store and search for ‘Echo Arena’.
