There have been plenty of attempts already, nothing has got the traction it needed.
I thought about this a long time ago when my old employer used to offer tickets after buying accommodation.
It didn't really matter how much communication and messaging we used – it didn't take off online yet it was very popular to buy it at the hotel.
A lot of that I put down to an intent and timing issue. Visitors going to a hotel website are there to book a hotel, not tickets – if they wanted tickets they'd get them from a ticketing website or on location.

I see AWD just launched their Bangkok app. That might be a nice channel for something like this?
