See Tickets Expands U.S. Operations With Nashville Office

–

Global ticketing company See Tickets has expanded its U.S. operations by opening a Nashville office, with the expansion spearheaded by See Tickets’ North American vice president of business strategy and partnerships, Chris Donohue.

After opening its first U.S. office in Los Angeles in 2014, See Tickets continues to grow its business offering tickets for major music festivals, music venues, nightclubs and other attractions.

See Tickets sold more than 20 million tickets in 2018 for music, sporting and cultural events worldwide, according to the company, with thousands of clients across North America and Europe, including premier country and roots music festivals Countryfest, Americanafest, Gulf Coast Jam and many more.

“We remain opportunistic where and when we expand,” See Tickets Global CEO Rob Wilmshurst says in a statement. “The U.S. is doing great business and has found a rich seam in indie venues and festivals.”

Since the acquisition of Flavorus in 2016, See Tickets has tripled its business in the U.S. and Nashville will mark the company’s 15th office and a strategic location.

See Tickets North American CEO Boris Patronoff says, “We are fortunate to have someone of Chris’s tremendous experience and insight to open our Nashville office. In Nashville, Chris will build on our existing relationships and provide the right care to our clients.”

Donohue’s career spans more than 20 years of event expertise, combining music, strategic partnerships, business development and emerging technology experience. Donohue served as chief operating officer of video monetization platform Vydia, and other previous positions GM of record label The Militia Group and artist manager for Weezer, All-American Rejects and Luscious Jackson, among others.

A subsidiary of French giant Vivendi and founded more than 20 years ago, See Tickets sold more than 20 million tickets in 2018 for 8,000 clients, and counts among its portfolio clients including Glastonbury Festival, Tomorrowland, White Oak Music Hall, LA Pride, Beautycon, AmericanaFest, Disco Donnie Presents, the Château de Versailles, CountryFest and the Queen Mary.
