Amazon Shutters Its Ticket-Selling Business In Britain (But Alexa Might Relaunch It)

Having abandoned last year its long-anticipated plan to for a North American ticket-selling platform, the company told its British customers this week that it is closing Amazon Tickets, which had been operating in the UK since 2015. However, sources say that the online retailer has been working on a new ticketing platform that would work with the voice-activated Amazon Echo and the Firestick streaming device.
