Ticketmaster has commenced ticketing services for Crown Resorts venues — the Crown Theatre Perth and The Palms at Crown — and has already facilitated a major onsale for the upcoming season of THE LION KING at Crown Theatre Perth.

Maria O’Connor, managing director of Ticketmaster Australia and New Zealand, said: “Crown Resorts operates two premier venues in Perth and Melbourne and Ticketmaster is proud to have entered into a partnership with this world-class organisation.

“We are committed to providing our clients and customers with the best products, tools, technology and services to make the ticket buying process simple and engaging.

“Ticketmaster has extensive experience providing ticketing services for major entertainment venues and theatres throughout Australia, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership with Crown Resorts and the two venues.”

Barry Felstead, chief executive officer Crown Resorts, said that he was delighted with the new appointment.

“Ticketmaster has been successful in securing Crown Resorts business through a very competitive and strict tender process. Ticketmaster, along with their partners in Live Nation and Channel Seven, offers a fantastic business partnership which complements Crown Resorts' entertainment strategy in both Perth, Melbourne and in overseas markets,” Felstead said.

The new agreement between Ticketmaster and Crown Resorts is further strengthened by the addition of the Seven Network as a strategic digital, events and media partner on this project.

We are expanding our presence in major events and our alignment with Ticketmaster as the exclusive ticketing partner for Crown is a positive step forward for us.”
