Yudala+Uber equals to free rides to Zero Gravity

ITRealms:

The latest of partnership between Yudala and Uber is to offer customers free rides to the momentous Yudala Zero Gravity across Nigeria, due to commence in Lagos on Sunday, October 2, reports ITRealms.

This is coming as attendees of the inaugural edition of Yudala Zero Gravity – a multi-city digital entertainment concert powered by pioneer composite e-commerce outfit, Yudala – are in for the time of their lives as the company has partnered with leading taxi service provider Uber to offer free rides for first time Uber riders to the concert venue.

ITRealms reports that Yudala Zero Gravity is gearing up for a kick off with a Contemporary Music Blast on Sunday October 2^nd at the Landmark Event Centre from 3pm.

By using the code – YUDALAZEROGRAVITY, ITRealms gathered that every interested first time Uber riders could enjoy a free ride of up to N2,500 to the Landmark Event Centre, venue of the concert. 

“To enjoy this offer, the individual would have to download and install the Uber app on a smartphone and then apply the YUDALAZEROGRAVITY code when submitting the trip request,” sources from Yudala hinted.

Interestingly, existing Uber riders are not left out of the mouth-watering offer, as arrangements have been concluded to accommodate this class of customers making their way to the concert venue with special discount packages.

Headquartered in San Francisco – California, Uber Technologies Inc. is an American multinational online transportation network company. It develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile "app", which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request, which the software program then automatically sends to the Uber driver nearest to the consumer, alerting the driver to the location of the customer. 

ITRealms recalls that as at August 2016, the service was available in over 66 countries and 507 cities worldwide. The Uber app automatically calculates the fare and transfers the payment to the driver. Since Uber's launch, several other companies have replicated its business model although not as successfully as Uber, a trend that has come to be referred to as "Uberification".

Currently offering its service in Lagos and Abuja with plans of expanding to other major Nigerian cities in the near future, Uber has quickly become the preferred taxi service for many, with its emphasis on safety, quality of the vehicles and professional drivers endearing the brand to Nigerians.

Yudala Zero Gravity is a three-city dual entertainment event which will feature a Contemporary Music Blast as well as a Rock Gospel Concert in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu.

The action kicks off on Sunday October 2^nd 2016 with a Contemporary Music Blast at the Landmark Event Centre, Oniru. 

Already, a number of superstar artistes have been confirmed for the Contemporary Music Blast concerts in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu. The list includes Olamide, Iyanya, Phyno, Zoro, Sound Sultan, Flavour, Humble Smith, Naeto C, Cynthia Morgan, David Grey, Ali Baba, Akpororo and many more. Also, a number of premium corporate organizations such as Access Bank, Airtel, Stanbic Bank, HP, Lenovo, InnJoo Mobile, Uber and a host of media organizations including MTV Base, Trace TV, Urban FM, Classic FM, among others are on board as partners. 

Yudala Zero Gravity will witness pure acoustics and live performances from the best Nigerian artistes in both genres of music, many of whom will use the platform to launch new tracks. It is a platform to see and hear it first.

Overwhelming rush: Yudala halts ticket sales for Zero Gravity

ITRealms:

The leading composite electronic-commerce company, Yudala has put a halt to ticket sales for a mega digital entertainment concert tagged Yudala Zero Gravity, due to overwhelming rush reports ITRealms.

The kick off of the event which promises contemporary music slated for the Landmark Event Centre, Oniru - Lagos on Sunday October 2^nd 2016, ITRealms gathered would still hold as planned, but the company says its putting a halt on ticket sales to leave up to its promise for those buying at the outlets.

Head, Corporate Communications at Yudala, Mr. Gideon Ayogu, told ITRealms that the decision was taken as a result of the huge rush witnessed for the tickets by interested Nigerians eager to participate in the much-anticipated concert featuring some of Nigeria’s finest artistes.

Although a difficult decision, he noted that the company’s management had no choice than to suspend ticket sales in order to accommodate customers who are buying products and services from them.

“We assured our customers who purchased products from Yudala Online or any of our Experience Stores nationwide from August 1^st 2016 that we would guarantee them free entry into any of our concerts nationwide. As a responsible e-commerce company that keeps its word, we do not want to collect cash now and abandon these loyal customers.

“Yudala is one and within a space of just 12 months, we have broken all existing records in the e-commerce sector and set new standards and milestones such as the first drone delivery in the e-commerce world, launch of same day delivery on a nationwide scale, among many others.

“These achievements would have been impossible without our customers, so we are using the Yudala Zero Gravity concerts as a prime avenue to say thank you to and bond more closely with our customers,” he enthused.

While noting that customers who purchase high-value products also stand a chance of being upgraded to VIP or VVIP, Ayogu advised potential attendees looking for tickets to use same money and buy any product of their choice online or from any Yudala Experience Store nationwide which guarantees them a better chance of attending the concert.

“A number of A-list artistes have already been confirmed for Yudala Zero Gravity concerts in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu. The list includes Olamide, Iyanya, Phyno, Zorro, Flavour, Humble Smith, Naeto C, Cynthia Morgan, David Grey, Ali Baba, Akpororo and many more. Also, a number of premium corporate organizations such as Access Bank, Airtel, Stanbic Bank, HP, Lenovo, InnJoo Mobile and a host of media partners, among others are on board as partners. We also expect to tie up a few more partnerships in the days ahead.

“In addition, we have concluded arrangements for digital tickets which will be sent to all individual attendees 12 hours before each event. Our customers have no worries as to how we shall deliver it to them,” stated Ayogu.

Since news of the much talked-about digital live concerts broke, Yudala has contended with a deluge of requests for tickets from Nigerians eager to attend the event. Yudala Zero Gravity is powered as a mega three-city dual concert featuring the best artistes in Contemporary Nigerian hip-hop and rock gospel, who will use the platform to launch new hit tracks.  

Furthermore, loads of surprises and other side attractions are in store from Africa’s pioneer composite e-commerce outfit Yudala and New Concept Media Group (NCMG) at this inaugural edition of Yudala Zero Gravity.

Showbiz personalities are of the view that is possibly the first time in the world that an e-commerce company can invest in a multi-city entertainment event featuring two concerts per city. As pointed out by Ifedi Okwara, a self-professed digital entertainment enthusiast, it is really a new concept.

“Things are really changing in the current century. Entertainment is a big kick and a source of new wealth in the present generation. Gone are the times when companies refrained from being associated with such events.  Considering the state of the economy, it is also a useful outlet for most Nigerians to laugh off the anxiety and stress. It is a refreshing development to see Yudala leading the charge. Indeed, this is arguably the first time in the world that such a multi-city event is being planned by an e-commerce company. This is a big plus for Yudala,” he revealed.
