An Ingresso Entertainment Tickets plug-in is now available to travel agents using the Travelport Smartpoint system.

The plug-in will enable agents to book sightseeing tours, theatre and attraction tickets around the world.

The plug-in is free to download from Travelport’s Marketplace and also enables agents to use eNett virtual credit cards.

Through the plug-in, agents can set their own pricing and commission levels, access the best ticket prices, search either by airport code or general terms and get immediate email confirmation.

Bart van Schriek, chief executive at Ingresso Group, said: “This latest development is good news for Travelport-connected agencies worldwide as they can now tap into Ingresso’s direct connect technology which gives them access to the same tickets that the box office sells.

“The plug-in is user-friendly, making it easy to search, filter and book tickets to various events globally and receive instant booking confirmation.”

Simon Ferguson, managing director for UK, Ireland and the Nordics at Travelport, said: “The plugin offers a real cross-sell opportunity and agents can set the price and choose the commission they charge in order to boost revenue.”
