News Summary:
On September 15, 2026, Ticketek Australia, alongside Live Nation and AEG, was noted as one of three offshore ticketing and touring giants vying for control of Australia's A$4.8 billion live music industry. Previously, on September 4, 2026, Managing Director Phil King confirmed his departure from Ticketek Australia, concluding his nearly three-year tenure with the company. This follows the company losing the Hordern Pavilion as a major client on July 13, 2026, after a US entertainment giant purchased the venue's operating company and transferred its ticketing contract to its own firm. The 100-year-old Sydney venue sells hundreds of thousands of tickets annually. Earlier, on June 15, 2026, Amy Mackie was appointed Managing Director, Ticketing, at Ticketek Entertainment Group (TEG), Ticketek's parent company, where she will oversee ticketing strategy and operations across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the UK.
