      <div style="text-align: justify;">AXS, a leading provider of advanced ticketing and live event technology, has partnered with Tickets for Good (TfG) to introduce a new API integration in the UK. The collaboration allows AXS clients to directly allocate ticket inventory to TfG’s members, which include healthcare professionals, teachers, charity staff, volunteers, and others who make meaningful contributions to their communities. <br />   <br />  Through direct connectivity with the Tickets for Good platform and its network of more than 620,000 verified members worldwide, UK venues, promoters, and artist management teams working with AXS can efficiently extend access to live events. Beneficiaries include NHS staff, educators, charity workers, volunteers, and individuals impacted by the Cost of Living crisis. At the same time, partners can expand their audiences, optimise attendance, and enhance their social impact initiatives. <br />   <br />  Following its successful launch in the United States, the integration is now live in the UK, with Germany scheduled to follow in 2026. The solution gives promoters full oversight of ticket pricing, allocation volumes, and eligibility periods, ensuring flexibility and control. <br />   <br />  Peter Quinlan, Managing Director for Europe at AXS, said the UK rollout enables partners to transform unsold tickets into memorable experiences for those who give back to society, highlighting how innovative technology can strengthen community engagement while broadening audience reach. <br />   <br />  Steve Rimmer, Founder and CEO of Tickets for Good, noted that pairing TfG’s purpose-led platform with AXS’s scale and event portfolio helps convert positive intent into tangible experiences. He added that increasing participation from the UK entertainment sector is creating a streamlined, technology-driven pathway connecting thousands of members with live events. <br />   <br />  To date, Tickets for Good has distributed more than one million tickets across the UK, working alongside major ticketing partners and over 1,000 event organisers across music, theatre, and sport. The platform verifies eligible users and operates within a secure, closed network, enabling event partners to boost attendance, cultivate new audiences, and support their communities. <br />   <br />  After strong momentum in the UK and expansion into the U.S. and mainland Europe, Tickets for Good continues collaborating with industry partners and investors focused on aligning social impact with commercial growth. Key developments in 2025 include:</div>    <ul>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Selection for the BPI Innovation and Department for Business and Trade “Music Mission to Japan,” including participation in the UK House music tech showcase at SXSW London.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Completion of pilot events for TfG Belgium, with a full launch planned in Belgium and Germany in Q1 2026.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Appointment of Derek DeVeaux as Global Chief Operating Officer, alongside additional hires and internal promotions across the UK and global teams.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">New and returning event partners such as Melody Garden, Phoenix Arts Club, Pixies, Robbie Williams, Sherelle, The Roundhouse, The Sun Festival, and Yungblud.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Launch of TfG Netherlands with ambassador Robbie Williams, joined by football legend Edwin van der Sar as a new ambassador.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Participation in a UK Government ministerial roundtable on secondary ticketing with Ministers Madders and Bryant, alongside the Departments for Culture, Media and Sport and Business and Trade.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">A North America spotlight interview in partnership with the UK Department for Business and Trade.</li>  </ul>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">As part of the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program’s (EICOP) HBCU in LA Summit Week, AEG — a leading sports and live entertainment company — hosted over 40 interns from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) at its L.A. LIVE complex on May 30, 2025. <br />   <br />  The event brought together industry insiders and AEG team members to provide students with valuable insight into career opportunities within the sports and live event space. Attendees had the chance to take part in panel sessions, mentoring meetings, and learn directly from professionals in the industry. <br />   <br />  The day began with a behind-the-scenes tour of Crypto.com Arena, the L.A. LIVE district, and the GRAMMY Museum. Later, students connected with AEG department leaders — including representatives from Goldenvoice, AEG Presents, AXS, and Crypto.com Arena — during a networking lunch hosted by Black Equity@AEG, AEG’s employee network group. <br />   <br />  After lunch, AEG President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Beckerman addressed the group, emphasizing the growing complexities of today’s workforce and the necessity of developing talent from a range of institutions for ongoing operational and strategic success. <br />   <br />  Students also engaged in a fireside chat, led by Stacy Milner, EICOP’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, alongside Debra Lee, BET’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in Crypto.com Arena’s Lexus Club. During their discussion, Lee offered her perspectives on leadership, navigating obstacles, and shaping the future of media. <br />   <br />  “Hosting the HBCU LA event is all about opening doors and creating opportunities — two crucial components that can make a huge difference in these students’ careers,” said April Barfield, Senior Manager — University Relations at AEG. “It’s equally important that these talented individuals learn about the live event industry and that our workforce reflects the communities we serve.” <br />   <br />  EICOP is a non-profit educational arts workforce-development organization that prepares, guides, and recruits the brightest student leaders from Historically Black Colleges, Universities, and other Minority Serving Institutions for employment across the entertainment, sports, gaming, tech, and media sectors. <br />   <br />  Click&nbsp;<a class="link" href="https://eicop.org/about-us/" target="_blank">here</a>  &nbsp;to know more.</div>
