London Theatre Direct to Accept Bitcoin, First in the World


Leading theatre ticket agency London Theatre Direct announced that it is accepting bitcoin payments — aking it the world’s first.
The agency has tapped BitPay for its processing solution and hopes to accept more alternative currencies in the future. The agency says it is “leading the way” in supporting bitcoin and it is providing some of the best theatre London has to offer in exchange for your hard earned Satoshis.
“Bitcoin is an exciting, experimental, decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. We want to embrace new methods of accepting payments online,”managing director Francis Hellyer said.
“Although Theatreland is typically a little slower on the uptake of newer technologies, we have been pushing very hard over the past few years to set an example to the industry by experimenting with new technologies.”
However, the city still does not yet have a bitcoin ATM, but two firms are planning to install a few machines soon.
