TikTok announces a new partnership with AXS, a leader in global ticketing, to offer fans a new way to discover and buy tickets to live events for their favorite artists.

The partnership promises to bring music fans closer to their favorite artists, with the feature live in the US, UK, Sweden and Australia. Now, any Certified Artist on TikTok can use the in-app ticketing feature to promote their AXS live dates and connect with fans around the globe.
