Tom Grennan and Magnum Launch the Pleasure Pass Initiative for Free Access to Live Events
Singer Tom Grennan has partnered with ice cream brand Magnum to launch the inaugural ‘Pleasure Pass’ initiative, granting thousands of Brits free access to their favorite festivals, gigs, and comedy events this summer.
The collaboration aims to address the growing trend of people cutting back on live experiences due to financial constraints.
The Pleasure Pass was introduced in response to recent research revealing that nearly three in four Brits (69 percent) are reducing their spending on live events, including concerts, festivals, and nights out with friends, in order to save money.
The pass allows fans to claim complimentary tickets to various events across the country, such as Boiler Room, Tom Grennan concerts, Big Feastival, Sofar Sounds, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Greenwich Summer Sounds.
The Pleasure Pass initiative seeks to provide a solution to the financial challenges faced by individuals who are unable to indulge in live experiences.
By offering free tickets to a range of events, the initiative aims to bring back the joy and excitement of attending live performances.
The research also found that, on average, two in five Brits are having fewer outings this year compared to the previous year.
Additionally, 39 percent of respondents stated that they do not plan to attend any live events this year.
The study revealed that over 60 percent of people prioritize spending on essential household costs, transportation, and utilities, leading to a decrease in their personal pleasure funds and leaving them feeling disappointed and frustrated.
The main reasons cited for cutting back on spending for live experiences included the cost of living (53 percent), bills to pay (33 percent), saving for something (26 percent), and debts to pay off (14 percent).
Despite almost half of Brits considering live experiences as activities that bring them pleasure, over half (59 percent) feel they cannot justify the expenditure.
The findings highlight the financial challenges faced by individuals when it comes to enjoying live experiences.
The Pleasure Pass initiative aims to break down the financial barriers and provide opportunities for people to indulge in the activities that bring them joy and pleasure.
To participate in the Pleasure Pass program, the public can either spin the wheel online for a chance to win or locate the Magnum Pleasure Bus, which will be appearing in different cities throughout the summer.
Winners of the pass can claim two free tickets to a wide range of events, including Boiler Room, Big Feastival, Tom Grennan concerts, Splendour Festival, Greenwich Summer Sounds, Sofar Sounds, Fly Open Air, Waterworks Festival, This Feeling events, JBM Presents Craig David, and Luna Cinemas.
Tom Grennan, known for his hit song “Found What I’ve Been Looking For,” expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating his passion for keeping tour tickets affordable and accessible to his fans.
He highlighted the importance of bringing joy and entertainment to people, particularly in light of the current circumstances.
Grennan emphasized the unique experience and togetherness that live music brings, both for performers and audiences.
Tom Grennan’s involvement in the Pleasure Pass initiative showcases his commitment to making live music accessible to his fans.
His partnership with Magnum aligns with his belief in the power of live performances and the need to provide joy and entertainment during challenging times.
The launch of the Pleasure Pass initiative coincides with Magnum’s introduction of the Double Sunlover and Double Starchaser ice creams.
As part of the celebration, Magnum will also distribute these new ice cream varieties to lucky winners on the ‘Pleasure Wheel.’
Conclusion:
The Pleasure Pass launch not only promotes access to live events but also coincides with the introduction of Magnum’s new ice cream flavors.
The initiative aims to create an overall pleasurable experience by providing opportunities for both entertainment and indulgence.
