Payments company GoCardless has partnered with ticketing solution Future Ticketing to make ticket and membership purchases easier and more affordable in the UK and Ireland. Enabling the purchase of tickets in instalments By integrating GoCardless directly into its platform, Future Ticketing can now offer customers -- which include clubs in the English Football League, Scottish Premier League, Super League, and Elite Ice Hockey League -- the ability to collect payments via Direct Debit.

This means that season ticket holders, festival-goers, and other event attendees will be able to split the cost of their ticket into smaller amounts to be paid over several months through Direct Debit. Officials from GoCardless said this partnership is a game-changer. Future Ticketing customers can now use GoCardless to give their fans the ability to break down larger purchases into smaller, more manageable repayments -- so tickets for their favourite games are more within reach.

At the same time, clubs, venues, and event organisers save money on card fees and gain peace of mind knowing that repayments will be automatically collected on the day they’re due. Also commenting on this partnership, Future Ticketing’s team said that ensuring seamless payments and customer conversion is a top priority for them and their clients. By offering a wider range of payment options, they are meeting the growing demand for instalment payments from customers.

The announcement adds another name to GoCardless’ list of more than 350 partners. These partnerships allow businesses to seamlessly integrate GoCardless bank payments into the platforms they use everyday. What does GoCardless do? GoCardless specialises in direct bank payments.
