Touch on to your next event Event travel in South East Queensland (SEQ) has received an overhaul in recent months with TransLink’s go Event card going live. From only $12, the new go Event card provides delegates with three days unlimited travel on all TransLink bus, train, ferry and tram services across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. It gives event and conference organisers an affordable way to add extra value to their delegate packages, while at the same time providing delegates an easy and hassle free way to get from their accommodation to the event venue. Event organisers only need to order a minimum of 50 cards, and can add up to eight additional days from only $4 per day. TransLink’s business development manager, George Chemali, says he’d been encouraged by the response from event organisers since the card launched. “We’ve received a lot of interest from event organisers keen to include go Event in their packages for events later this year and next year,” he says. “This is a unique product in SEQ and we’re expecting it to entice event organisers to host their events in SEQ. “Event delegates can travel stress free across SEQ without having to worry about putting money on their go Event card. “TransLink also offers travel support through the MyTransLink app and TransLink website which feature real-time travel information and a 24/7 contact centre, which is available to answer any questions a delegate might have.” To date TransLink has already sold over 6500 cards which equals approximately 25,000 delegate travel days.
