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 2nd 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 2nd 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.
