Thinking the same myself Spud - something will have to be sold though which is a tough decision - this years results should sky rocket imho after the last year with r and d.Makes you smile really - you see these guys bringing out all singing and dancing prism and cloudtag couldn't bring out anything in over 4 years - not only that but acso don't say a damn thing until its working and finished testing !What a company !

Indeed - Here is confirmation in black and white. With Universal planning a total roll out, this is indeed 'almost' as exciting as the Merlin rollout. Time to buy some more methinks:


The Volcano Bay wristband was developed by Britain-based Accesso, which also makes the QBot handheld device that powers the Flash Pass virtual queue system at Six Flags parks. The wristband’s capabilities include proximity-based marketing, push notifications, cashless purchases, photo tagging, locker rentals and keyless hotel room entry. Universal plans to roll out the technology to its other theme parks.

TAPU TAPU is definitely PRISM with branding added: identical to the presentation slides from Accesso

An April 11 L.A. Times article on Universal's Volcano Bay has a line saying "Universal plans to roll out the technology to its other theme parks." This is corroborated by a January USA Today article: "Coup considers TapuTapu a major breakthrough and says that Universal plans to roll out the technology at its existing theme parks as well."

N+1 Singer have today increased their target price to 1729p (from 1684p) after the Ingresso acquisition.

Interesting to see if Peel Hunt similarly increase their 2100p target.

Coo! Not short on ambition, certainly.

I think somebody's going to need help....

Pretty basic site, so i assume its substance over form:

Personally I don't want to be taken out - the management has been superb here and I can't see anyone else doing a better job. As I see it there would be a short term gain with me then having a struggle to then find somewhere to be confident in achieving the same sort of return.

[supernumerary] 30/3/2017 10:59

Another stonking deal! I guess Steve Brown can make a good case to any independent CEO who's hesitating about accepting an offer - it's clearly turned out very well for him and his staff.

As for who'll take them out, I was reading a long and very interesting story in this week's Economist about Amazon. It struck me that while they're immensely strong in selling goods, both real and virtual, they don't have quite the same position with services. I can't imagine Bezos leaving it like that forever...

Numis have raised their rating to 'buy' from 'add' and increased their price target from 1730p to 2000p. Encouraging!

Surely the aim of ACSO's ticketing operation is world domination, not being bought out by a less competent if currently larger operator?

[glaws2] 30/3/2017 10:41

Thanks Spud

[spud] 30/3/2017 10:33

Again it depends on the 'fit'. I could see a large German ticketing company at one end of the spectrum to a Californian tech company at the other - It's just a case of joining the dots.

Either way, I always have and will continue to believe that this will prove to be the endgame within 5 years.

Spud - who do you think will take out ACSO given that they are the market leader ?

Thanks

A nice fit. Ticketing is where the growth is and also what the eventual potential aquirer will be looking at when ACSO is eventually taken out imo.

As riv says, either the Ingresso CEO was incredibly impressed with our Company or Tom has been working on his arm wrestling techniques - Probably a bit of both!

I also love it when an acquirer says this:
'The Board expects the Acquisition to be earnings accretive in 2017.'

Ambitious-looking entertainment ticketing acquisition today from cash:



And a remarkable second RNS, whereby the CEO of the acquiree is subscribing for £500,000 of new ACSO shares AND promising to invest 40% of any earn-out proceeds into more ACSO shares.

He must have been incredibly impressed by this company of ours!

Osborne - Cameron - Rock ...... Standard ...... corruption

[spud] 28/3/2017 20:16

I think you'll find 'ride' is an Americanism for taxi etc with, I suspect, Uber in mind!



spud

[igbertsponk] 28/3/2017 19:13

I see the new iPhone software update has a "ride booking app". Those invested here may want to take a close look!

[spud] 27/3/2017 20:06

Good sustained buying over the past few days - Should be good for the next leg up before too long. spud

Amazing range of revenue opportunities being worked on and they seem to have the edge on any competition in cross selling them all. Well worth a watch, long but all worthwhile.

[shanklin] 27/3/2017 11:49

Thank you Kingsclere

Certainly worth watching the presentation.
