Ticketmaster's head
ofﬁce in Angel,
north London

Globally, Ticketmaster International
has 7,900 employees, who are constantly
evolving the ticketing technology for
a client roster that includes the world's
biggest shows, festivals, productions and
sporting events.
The employees love what this exciting
company does and they seem to have a
great time doing it.

In the office
The Ticketmaster International headquarters
is in Angel, north London - a city in which
the creativity of its staff thrives.
The phenomenal range of innovative
features include the dynamic integration
of technology which is similar to its
Hollywood ofﬁces, chill out zones complete
with pinball machines, pool, ping pong

and football tables, a slide connecting
two ﬂoors (yes, a slide!), a central picnic
area with AstroTurf for lunch breaks with
a difference, and a ﬁtness studio. The
company wanted to provide a unique
space to reﬂect Ticketmaster in London
and so it lives on a 48,000 sqft site, split
over ﬁve ﬂoors with Silicon Roundabout just
down the road, smack bang in the hustle
and bustle of London's 'Tech City'!

The perks

The ofﬁce has a
slide to connect
two ﬂoors!

Ticketmaster is able to offer its employees
a range of beneﬁts including support
with long-term ﬁnancial planning, core
ﬁnancial beneﬁts, along with a holistic
commitment to ensuring employee health

Its wellbeing programme, called 'Live
Well', aims to educate employees on
making healthy lifestyle choices to increase
productivity and creativity levels in and out
of the ofﬁce.
Employees can enjoy subsidised
massages, annual health check-ups, a
ﬁtness studio to undertake classes such as
yoga and Zumba, health webinars, healthy

snacks like free fruit, nuts and herbal teas,
and 14 coffee machines throughout the
building for all the company's aspiring
baristas. Ticketmaster provides a working
environment designed to help its staff
strike the perfect work-life balance.
And remember that ofﬁce slide for any
bouts of 3.30-itis! From UX, to e-commerce

offer a snapshot of what it's like working in
the tech team at Ticketmaster...
