DGAP-Media / 2017-12-11 / 09:00 *XING Events reduces fees for ticket sales by a third* · As of 01/01/2018, all customers can permanently benefit from successful new customer special · Plus, XING Events continuously improves its service's quality and scope Munich, 11 December 2017. XING Events (www.xing-events.com [1]), the event industry's expert for event marketing, attendee management, and ticketing, starts the new year with new, reduced prices for the XING TicketingManager. Instead of 5.9% per ticket sold, event organisers only pay 3.9% plus EUR 0.99 for all paid events published as of 01/01/2018 - saving more than a third of the usual fee. This special offer has already been available since May - so far, however, only as an introductory special for new customers. "Our new customer special with reduced ticketing fees received such as a positive feedback from the market that we aim to permanently leverage this effect", Prof. Dr. Cai-Nicolas Ziegler, CEO of XING Events GmbH says. "These new conditions are, furthermore, a great opportunity to thank our long-standing customers for their loyalty." *Reduced fee for the same proven performance and service* The quality and scope of the services are, on the other hand, not affected by the reduced fees. "Actually, quite the opposite: We are constantly developing our products to make sure organisers benefit from an increasingly easier use", says Maik Wiege, Senior Product Manager XING Events GmbH. During the next months, one of the strategies includes significantly boosting the synergy effects of ticketing in combination with marketing opportunities on XING, according to Wiege. *About XING Events* XING Events is the only provider that combines event management software and business networking.
