Ticketmaster Ups Edmonds

Ticketmaster has upped UK managing director Chris Edmonds to UK chairman and European vice president of international strategic partnerships.

Edmonds, who spent eight years running the company’s UK business and steered the company through its merger with Live Nation, will now be responsible for developing Ticketmaster’s relationships with key strategic partners across its international territories.

“As we continue to expand our international business operations, Edmonds’ extensive knowledge and understanding of the ticketing and live event industries will be an invaluable addition to our international executive team,” said TM international president Mark Yovich.

Edmonds said it’s a time of great transformation and opportunity within the international ticketing industry, and he’s looking forward to working with the international executive team to help shape Ticketmaster’s future business strategy.
