The Target Ticket initiative launched Target Corp into the on-demand media viewing market.  The multi-user, multi-platform digital video service allows guests to enjoy their favorite titles on their preferred digital device anytime, anywhere.

Target partnered with Common Sense Media to create a customizable service, ideal for families with children, that allow parents to set up advanced parental controls to filter content for their children.  In addition to an overall quality rating, guests can set filters according to age-appropriateness, level of violence, profanity, MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines, putting guests in control of the content they deem appropriate for viewing. Parents can customize a profile for each family member, allowing multiple viewers to watch their preferred content simultaneously on different devices.  

“Many of our guests told us that streaming and viewing videos is complicated, so we created Target Ticket to simplify the experience,” said Anne Stanchfield, divisional merchandise manager of entertainment, Target. “Target Ticket will help guests who are looking for a kid-safe, easy-to-use service that mirrors what they have come to expect from Target’s entertainment offerings – a premium selection of the newest titles plus exclusive content, all at an affordable price.”
