Business gets done through the National Sports Forum... |
||
|
As a result of the relationship developed between i6 and Kevin Lyman (Vans Warped Tour) at the 2009 National Sports Forum, i6 was selected to design and produce a unique, limited-edition ticket for the 2009 Vans Warped Tour, America’s longest running music festival tour. The goal was to drive presales and resulted in a new presale record! Kevin also chose i6 to do the same for his Rockstar Mayhem Festival, again resulting in record sales. i6 is excited to have the opportunity to provide fans and sponsors of Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival with added value through their tickets. This is i6’s first venture into the music industry and comes as a result of the networking opportunities provided by the NSF. - Rodney Moore, Director of Sales, i6 |
