Afo Verde, Chairman and CEO, Sony Music Latin Iberia: “The expansion of our operations to Chile and Peru showcases our continued commitment to fans, artists, promoters, venues, and the live music business. Chile and Peru are exciting, growing markets and a vital stop for both Latin and international touring superstars alike. We look forward to our continued partnership with EVENTIM to provide top of class service and solutions to both consumers and our clients in these markets.”

Danton Vinales, Founder and CTO, Punto  Ticket: “This partnership propels us into a new growth trajectory within the impressive CTS EVENTIM and Sony Music network. The collaborative essence of this venture not only enriches our technological skills but also amplifies the service quality for promoters, artists, and fans as well. As we complement our local expertise with global capabilities, the future is ripe with promises of superior live entertainment experiences. I, alongside the Punto Ticket Teleticket teams, eagerly anticipate the remarkable journey and achievements ahead with our new partners.”
