Suncorp Stadium to improve fan experience with Ticketek extension

Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia has renewed its long-standing partnership with TEG-owned Ticketek.

The new multi-year extension deal will renew in 2018, building on a relationship that has spanned more than three decades.

The agreement also includes a major investment in new technology in an effort to enhance the fan event-day experience, as well as improving the stadium’s digital marketing and communications platforms. The potential developments will also include new fan-friendly digital innovations such as 3D digital seating maps.

TEG chief executive Geoff Jones said: “When it comes to the glorious history, the iconic stature of the building and the electrifying atmospherics generated in this cauldron, Suncorp Stadium is on a level all of its own.

“It is by far the most successful rectangular major event stadium in Australia and is loved by generations of fans, players and performers.

“I am proud and delighted that Suncorp Stadium will be a Ticketek partner for the years ahead.”

Suncorp Stadium’s general manager, Alan Graham, said: “Ticketek, as Australasia’s leading ticketing company, are at the forefront of technological developments and customer service.

“We are delighted to have them back on board and look forward to continuing to work with them to offer world-class ticketing services to our venue hirers and patrons.”

Suncorp Stadium is home to rugby league teams the Queensland Maroons and the Brisbane Broncos, as well as A-League football club Brisbane Roar and Australian Rugby Union side the Queensland Reds. 

The Wallabies, Socceroos and Kangaroos play regular World Cup and international matches at Suncorp Stadium and top artists such as Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and U2 have also filled the venue.
