In the bustling city of Vancouver, the Vancouver Giants, a renowned hockey team in Canada, found themselves at a crossroads. The Langley Events Centre, their home turf, needed a ticketing makeover and was exploring options to replace their existing solution. The Vancouver Giants, having tried various platforms, were no strangers to the ups and downs of the event and ticketing world.

Navigating Hurdles

The Vancouver Giants were grappling with poor customer service from their previous ticketing company, both for their customers and themselves. Frustrated by a lack of responsiveness, the Giants needed a partner who genuinely cared about their success.

Being seasoned players in the event organization game, the team also knew that customization was key. They were on a quest for a committed and agile partner who could help optimize their digital operations with a personalized and hands-on approach.

After an extensive search for a dedicated partner, the Vancouver Giants ultimately landed on Showpass to enhance their ticketing experience, marking the beginning of a dynamic collaboration.
