MUMBAI: KyaZoonga.com and Universal Music Group (UMG) have partnered to focus on developing direct-to-consumer bundling initiatives for select UMG artists in India that bring together concert tickets and a variety of music products.

The ticketing and bundling products will be handled by entertainment and sports ticketing company, KyaZoonga.

Also, you have access to parts of the UMGI catalog which are tough to find- LPs, limited edition box sets, selective merchandise which will be a connoisseur's delight.
