Ticketek Singapore ‘crucial pillar’ in TEG Asia expansion

TEG-owned Ticketek is launching a new ticketing platform for live entertainment fans in Southeast Asia, called Ticketek Singapore.

The new site will list a wide variety of events in Singapore, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Ticketek Singapore will integrate e-commerce services and entertainment options via its primary website and mobile ticketing.

The launch of Ticketek Singapore will be integrated with the live touring activities of TEG. These include the international acts under the TEG Dainty banner and the array of sport, family, music and exhibitions under the TEG Live banner.

TEG chief executive Geoff Jones said the launch of Ticketek Singapore is a major development for the region’s live entertainment sector and a “crucial pillar in TEG’s Asian growth plans.”

He added: “TEG through the Ticketek business has over 40 years of expertise and experience in sports and entertainment ticketing.

“We are proud that our user experience, digital technology and e-commerce innovation are market-leading in the Asia Pacific.

“Ticketek Singapore will bring a fresh approach to event ticketing in Southeast Asia by allowing consumers and promoters to benefit from having an array of events on a single platform.

“TEG will also bring extra live entertainment to Singapore and the region promoted by our touring companies, TEG Dainty, TEG Live and Life Like Touring. We have presented WWE and Michael Bublé in Singapore and are looking to create a pipeline of tier-one shows. It is a very exciting time for TEG and for fans, promoters and venues.”
