Sales of tickets in the country are estimated to reach 19 million by the year 2020, which shows the huge demand for live events in Italy. With this expansion, Italian fans will gain access to Ticketmaster’s world-class service, while artists and event promoters will be able to take full advantage of Ticketmaster’s innovative ticketing solutions.    

Mark Yovich, President of Ticketmaster International, commented: “We look forward to providing the best ticketing experience for clients, artists and fans across Italy – undoubtedly one of the world’s most vibrant and popular destinations for live entertainment and cultural events, this was an organic move for the business. This is an exciting moment for fans of live music, theatre, sport and cultural events, not just in Italy, but across all our global markets as we continue our strategic expansion.”
