Nottingham Ice Centre Ltd, operators of the Motorpoint Arena (cap. 10,000), said it is looking for tenders from experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision, installation and on-going support of its ticketing system.

The company said it is exploring “all possible options”, including outsourced, in-house and hybrid models of ticketing solutions.

With all arena events requiring ticketed admission, operators said a “sophisticated, flexible, and robust” ticketing system is crucial to the day-to-day operation of the venue.

The deadlines and timeline for the tendering process are:

  • The ticketing tender process opened on 15 September
  • The ticketing tender submission deadline is 7 October at 5pm
  • Tenderers will be expected to demonstrate their services between 10-26 October
