"Today is an important day in Allegiant history as we enter into an innovative partnership and launch a program unique within the airline industry," Ponder Harrison, managing director for Allegiant Travel Company, said. "We've long been known for our low-cost air and hotel packages. We view this new relationship as yet another way to offer our customers even greater value in their vacation travel experience. Our customers will not only be able to see a great Las Vegas show, but they will receive a VIP experience only available to guests of Allegiant."
Beginning today, Allegiant customers may purchase tickets to Blue Man Group directly either by booking through the Allegiant website, at select airport locations, through the company's call-center or in-flight. Exclusive to Allegiant customers only, when purchasing tickets to the show through Allegiant guests will receive priority seating, a gift bag valued at more than $50 and an opportunity to meet a Blue Man after the show in the Allegiant Air VIP Lounge
The partnership focuses on communicating the Blue Man Group message to the Allegiant customer at all phases of the experience – from booking the flight to experiencing the Blue Man brand inside the carrier's aircraft on cups, napkins, overhead bins, service carts and on in-flight crew uniforms. The Blue Man Group iconic image will even be featured on the exterior of the Allegiant aircraft.
Likewise, the Allegiant brand has been incorporated into the Blue Man Group Las Vegas show, including the Allegiant logo on the aircraft featured during the show and an official Allegiant sponsored VIP lounge. In addition, the brands will be shared in select advertising campaigns with Blue Man Group featured in Allegiant advertising and Allegiant featured in certain Blue Man Group advertising.
Matt Goldman commented, "Allegiant Air makes it simple and convenient for so many people to fly direct to Las Vegas, and now they are making the process of getting Blue Man tickets easy and accessible for their customers. We appreciate high quality accessibility and are thrilled to partner with such an amazing team."
