Ticketmaster Wins Big!
It was a big night for Ticketmaster taking two prizes at last night’s Ticketing Technology Awards during the Ticketing Technology Forum 2016 at the Guinness Storehouse.
The Ticketing Technology Awards recognise leadership, innovation & achievement in the application of technology in ticketing across sports, performing arts, music, cinema, live entertainment and visitor attractions.
Executive of the Year Award went to Sam Isles – Vice President, Artist Services, Ticketmaster International and Managing Director, Ticketweb.

For the last 10 years in this role, Sam has been busy working with promoters, artists, agents and managers helping them bring fans closer to their favourite artists. In 2014 Sam was appointed to the role of Managing Director of TicketWeb offering yet another avenue for artists, labels and industry to maximise the objectives of all those involved.
Peter Quinlan was proud to collect the Best Product Innovation award for the Collector Ticket on behalf Phil Jennings, Melanie Schinck, Nigel Barrett, David Smith, Francois Thominet and his French team who were the visionaries behind the Collector Ticket.
In a world, where digital and e-tickets are fast becoming standard place, Ticketmaster decided to introduce a special kind of ticket just for the fans – The Collector Ticket. This premium, high quality, physical ticket acts as a collectable souvenir that fans can keep, as well as use to gain entry to the event. It is the only product of its type available in the marketplace making it unique for fans. The Judging Panel described it as “A great product which fulfils the demands of customers who want the convenience of digital ticketing but still want that unique souvenir ticket”.
A big congratulations to Sam Isles along with her Artist Services and TicketWeb teams, and everyone who has and continues to work on the Collector Ticket product.
