Tickets.com Relocates Asia-Pacific Operations to University of Wollongong’s Innovation Campus

Tickets.com's Asia-Pacific offices will be relocating to The University of Wollongong’s research and commercial precinct, Innovation Campus, and will be become the newest tenant at its iC Enterprise 1 commercial building.

The move will take our HQ from the southern Sydney suburb of Miranda to the Innovation Campus in mid-2011. The move will add 16 jobs to the Illawarra economy immediately and further jobs over the next three years.

Scheduled for completion in mid-2011, iC Enterprise 1 is a $40 million A Grade commercial building featuring a 4.5 Star NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) rating, state-of-the-art design and large floor plates of up to 2,600sqm.

David Borg, Tickets.com’s General Manager for Asia Pacific, selected the Innovation Campus following an extensive search for new premises covering south-west and southern Sydney and the Illawarra regions.

Tickets.com supports a large range of sports and entertainment clients across Australia and Asia-Pacific so access to high-speed data links was critical in our search for new premises. The Innovation Campus offers the ideal combination of quality commercial space, excellent IT infrastructure, value for money, and the unique opportunity to collaborate with the University of Wollongong on technology and recruitment initiatives.

Significantly, Tickets.com is the first Sydney-based company to relocate to the Innovation Campus.
