TEG operates worldwide out of seven country offices. The company’s diverse portfolio includes Ticketek, Ticketek Marketplace, Ticketek UK, and several other prominent entities in the live entertainment and ticketing landscape. It sells over 30 million tickets per year for over 300 venues in more than 15 countries, according to its website.
In the live entertainment space, TEG claims to host about 1,000 events per year, bringing together 2 million fans annually.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the live entertainment industry, Silicon Valley-based technology investment firm Silver Lake acquired TEG from funds advised by Affinity Equity Partners (S) Pte Ltd and its affiliates.
Post acquisition, the senior management team, led by CEO Geoff Jones, continued to lead the company.
The acquisition came just months after TEG bought UK-based event promoter and venue operator The MJR Group, which promotes and operates more than 2,000 shows a year.
