The DIY ticketing business Live Nation acquired last year, Universe, is opening its first European office by setting up a base at the London HQ of its parent company’s main ticketing unit Ticketmaster.

“It is an exciting time for growth within the UK and European market”, said Universe CEO Ben Raffi recently, when confirming the new London base. “Our technology and tools have been extremely well received in Canada and the US with over 31,000 event organisers using our platform to sell tickets. Expanding our international presence is the next step for us as we continue to disrupt the event industry”.

Ticketmaster International President Mark Yovich also bigged up his new tenants, adding that “we’re looking forward to having the Universe team here in London. We’ll be working closely with them to offer their unique event ticketing solutions to event organisers across the UK and Europe”.

The new office will be headed up by Joseph McAuliffe, the company’s existing Director Of Business Development, who transfers to London after two years based in San Francisco.
