*PRESS RELEASE*
*CTS EVENTIM is exclusive ticketing partner for Pink Floyd exhibition 'Their
Mortal Remains' in the Dortmunder U*
· Internationally celebrated exhibition to be shown for the first time in
Germany from 15 September
· More than 150,000 visitors expected
· Presale has started today
Dortmund/Munich, 12 June 2018. CTS EVENTIM, one of the leading international
providers of ticketing services and live entertainment, has been made the
exclusive ticketing partner for 'The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal
Remains', to be shown in the 'Dortmunder U'. The retrospective has received
worldwide attention and chronicles the legendary rock band Pink Floyd from
the 1960s to the present day. Its one and only showing in Germany will run
for five months, starting on 15 September. Tickets have gone on sale today
on the eventim.de website and will be available at all EVENTIM box offices
as of 18 June.
'Their Mortal Remains' provides spectacular and sometimes uniquely
innovative insights into the history of one of the most successful and
influential bands of the 20th century. The exhibition includes many iconic
artefacts, videos and recordings inseparably associated with Pink Floyd's
development and enduring contribution to rock culture. Attracting more than
300,000 visitors as well as considerable public acclaim, 'Their Mortal
Remains' was on display at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2017.
Since May 2018 the exhibition can be visited at Rome's Museum of
Contemporary Art (MACRO).
Edwin Jacobs, Director of the Dortmunder U, commented, 'With CTS EVENTIM, we
have teamed up with the best possible partner for this unique exhibition. No
other ticketing provider in Germany has such enormous expertise in the art
and culture field. CTS EVENTIM's extensive coverage of rock and pop genres,
especially, will help us entice as many music fans as possible to Dortmund.
By hosting 'Their Mortal Remains', the Dortmunder U is putting itself on an
equal footing with some great European museums - and we want that to be
reflected in the number of visitors we draw.'
For the city of Dortmund, the exhibition means things have come full circle
since 1980/81, when Dortmund was one of just four cities, besides London,
Los Angeles and New York, on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' tour. At that time, a
total audience of 132,000 saw eight shows in the Westfalenhallen. More than
150,000 visitors are expected to visit the exhibition in the U-Tower.
Karsten Elbrecht, Vice President Sales at CTS EVENTIM, added, 'Being the
exclusive ticketing partner for such an outstanding exhibition as 'Their
Mortal Remains' is something special for us. We want to play our part in
inspiring as many people as possible to visit the Dortmunder U. The event
combines rock appeal and visionary art, so it also means a fascinating
challenge for us as sales partner. We believe there's a great future for
events like this and we want to help create a resonance in the Dortmunder U
that's as inspiring as the exhibition itself.'
