Newsquest and Evvnt Release ‘Smarter Way’ to Sell Tickets and Promote Events to Local Audience

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, December 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LOCALiQ Tickets is a new local ticketing and event marketing solution designed to harness the power of local media to sell more tickets and reach a wider audience. Event organisers will get exclusive access to an all-in-one event ticketing platform plus complimentary marketing, ensuring they get the most from every event.

Brought to you by Newsquest, one of the UK’s largest regional media publishers with over 200 local news and media brands, in partnership with Evvnt, the leading Events Commerce Platform. The launch marks an expansion of their longstanding partnership.

LOCALiQ Tickets makes it easy to sell tickets for events and helps event organisers reach more people in their community. Events get free promotion both online and in print across Newsquest’s trusted local networks, reaching a local audience of potential attendees ready to engage with their event on highly trusted platforms.

Key features of the ticketing platform include: fully customisable event webpages, flexible ticketing options, a mobile box office app, full reporting capabilities where ticket sales can be tracked and much more. Event organisers will also benefit from expert advice and comprehensive ticketing support provided by Evvnt.
