You need to have ex-perience of ticketing system administration and dealing with promoters and agents and be comfortable being based in the ‘back office’ as well as front of house.
You’ll be happy manning the ticketing desk, supporting other staff to sell tickets for smaller events and proac-tive in finding ways to drive traffic that lead to sales.
