SEATTLE, April 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital ticket delivery service True Tickets is proud to announce a new partnership with The 5th Avenue Theatre, one of the nation's leading musical theater companies. This collaboration is set to transform the ticketing experience for theater enthusiasts in Seattle, offering unparalleled security and convenience through True Tickets' digital ticket delivery service.

The 5th Avenue Theatre, a historic gem in the heart of downtown Seattle, has been a cultural cornerstone since its opening in 1926.

Our service will ensure that every ticket holder enjoys a frictionless experience, from the moment they purchase their ticket to the moment they take their seat."
