TEG also announces that Bob Sewell is to retire as TicketWorld chief executive in August. Since founding TicketWorld in 1995, Sewell has built the company into a successful ticketing provider for live events of all sizes, offering a full suite of ticketing and marketing services. TicketWorld was acquired by TEG in late 2018.

TEG chief executive Geoff Jones welcomed Maclang to the TEG family and praised Sewell for the legacy he has built at TicketWorld. “I want to congratulate Bob on the great work he’s done to make the business what it is today and thank him for his generous contribution in integrating the company into TEG,” said Jones.

“John brings a strong commercial and management background in technology, leisure and the law. We welcome and look forward to working with him to deliver on our commitment to grow rapidly in Asia,” added Jones.

Brendon Bainbridge, Managing Director of TEG Asia, noted that TicketWorld has ticketed major international concert tours by acts including Guns N’ Roses and Katy Perry and theatre productions including The Lion King, Mamma Mia, Les Misérables and Wicked.

“It’s an impressive record and we are glad that Bob has agreed to stay on in with TicketWorld in a consulting role,” said Bainbridge. “We are looking forward to working with John to build on that legacy.”

Maclang began as General Manager of TicketWorld on July 24.

Sewell said: “I wish John and TicketWorld all the best as the company moves into its next phase of development and growth. The Philippine entertainment market is maturing and is displaying all the signs that will ensure its position of strength in the Asian market.”

Maclang said: “I look forward to joining the TicketWorld team as we move into the future of live entertainment ticketing. TicketWorld is a fantastic business and I thank Bob for his work over the years in developing the entertainment business in Manila. I look forward to working with the TicketWorld team and TEG to further develop Manila as a world class entertainment market.”

TicketWorld also provides ticketing services to many of the Philippines’ premier venues including Solaire Resort and Casino, Resorts World Manila, BGC Arts Center and the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
