Welcoming the Ticketek’s appointment, Geoff Jones (pictured below), Chief Executive of Ticketek and parent company TEG stated “we are thrilled to provide our ticketing, marketing and data solutions for this marquee global event.

“We will be rolling out the latest technologies for the Commonwealth Games to deliver the best experiences for attendees from their ticket purchase through to their event day.

“There has been significant change in ticketing since Australia last hosted the Games in 2006, and Ticketek has been at the forefront of this advancement, ensuring the latest cutting-edge ticketing solutions will be available for GC2018.”

Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation Chairman, Nigel Chamier said he was pleased to welcome Ticketek to the GC2018 sponsor family and very confident an organisation with its reputation and experience would deliver successful ticketing solutions for GC2018 customers.
