Dewan Filharmonik Petronas
Personalized Concert Finder
Industry

Project Background
Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP) is a cultural icon and Malaysia’s first dedicated classical music concert hall, renowned for its superior acoustics and architectural design. Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), it serves as a "must-visit" destination for both local music lovers and international travelers.
Challenges
The organization faced a significant challenge in ticket sales due to a widespread public misconception that DFP only hosted classical music events. While they offered a wide range of event formats and diverse price points, this perceived narrow focus impacted their ability to attract broader audiences. Additionally, DFP required a sophisticated platform that could cover the entire ticket-purchasing journey while enabling personalized discovery for different user groups.

Problem solving with design thinking workshop
Lizard Global built a personalized discovery and ticketing platform that utilizes gamified questionnaires to break down audience stereotypes. By capturing data points such as user preferences, budget, group size, and location, the system generates customized event recommendations. The solution also supports the sale of themed events and VIP packages by integrating merchandise add-ons directly into the checkout flow.
