SYDNEY, Australia, September 20, 2012 — Ticketek, Australia’s leading ticketing service provider, announced today its support for Passbook, which will allow customers to organise their mobile tickets in one convenient place on their iPhone or iPod touch. Ticketek is one of the first companies worldwide to integrate with Passbook, and starting today Ticketek’s mobile tickets will have the option to “Add to Passbook.”
Ticketek Australia’s Managing Director Cameron Hoy said “We have seen a massive growth in mobile adoption in the live event space.
