Manila, Philippines--TEG, one of Asia Pacific's leading ticketing platforms, is pleased to announce that John Maclang has joined TicketWorld in the Philippines as general manager.

"I want to congratulate Bob on the great work he's done to make the business what it is today and thank him for his generous contribution in integrating the company into TEG," said Jones.

"John brings a strong commercial and management background in technology, leisure, and the law. We welcome and look forward to working with him to deliver on our commitment to grow rapidly in Asia," added Jones.

Brendon Bainbridge, Managing Director of TEG Asia, noted that TicketWorld has ticketed major international concert tours by acts including Guns N' Roses and Katy Perry and theater productions including "The Lion King," "Mamma Mia," "Les Misérables," and "Wicked."

"It's an impressive record and we are glad that Bob has agreed to stay on in with TicketWorld in a consulting role," said Bainbridge. "We are looking forward to working with John to build on that legacy." =
