MCC announces extended Ticketek partnership at MCG

Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) today announced that Ticketek Australia will continue as the ticketing services partner for the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), following the outcome of a competitive tender process.

The renewed partnership will ensure patrons continue to receive world's best practice in ticketing technology and service when accessing tickets for events at the MCG through Australia's most advanced multi-channel event ticketing and digital marketing company.
