GLENDALE, AZ (CelebrityAccess) — VAI Resort, a new $1 billion dollar luxury hotel and entertainment destination set to open in Arizona next year, announced it has selected Tixr to provide ticketing, e-commerce, and other services.
The deal includes VAI Amphitheater, an 11,000-capacity, $50 million dollar state-of-the-art performance venue that includes an amphitheater stage, skyboxes, VIP booths, and reserved seating.
The property will also feature programming at both a poolside day club and a nightclub that will be serviced by Tixr’s ticketing platform.
“Everything we’re building at VAI Resort, from the property itself to the guest experience, is unique, bigger, bolder, and first-of-its-kind. That ethos is reflected in the technology partners we’ve chosen like Tixr and the innovative feature set they bring to the table,” said Howard Weiss, VAI Resort’s Senior Vice President of Entertainment & Sponsorships. “After a long vetting process, there’s no question that Tixr was the right choice for us. Tixr is way more than just a ticketing platform with the technology, flexibility, and customer service commitment that can handle the breadth of experiences we’ll be offering here. It’s a true partnership, and every day we’re reminded of why we chose them.”
“VAI Resort is not just a world-class destination; it’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. With its diverse venues and experiences on property, each with their own tech needs, VAI is the forward-thinking kind of partner Tixr is uniquely suited for,” said Robert Davari, Co-Founder and CEO of Tixr. “We can power sales for the entire resort, from complex reserved seating to bottle service, hotel packages—virtually anything—which hasn’t been possible before on a single system. And we do it in a visual, elegant way that feels nothing like traditional ticketing. We’re working closely with the VAI team to bring their vision to life and can’t wait to get operational.”
VAI Resort has not announced an official opening date for the venue. A previous target of late 2024 was pushed back earlier this year and the resort is now slated to open in early 2024.
