We have had good success in this region in a short period of time, and we are looking forward to expanding our business into Qatar's rapidly growing market where there is an ever-increasing demand for live events."

Alan Ridgeway, Live Nation president of international and emerging markets, said: "Since we started operating in the UAE two years ago, we have had numerous requests from international and local event organisers to bring Ticketmaster to Qatar. I am pleased that we are now able to satisfy this demand and deliver the same level of service to event organisers and ticket buyers in Qatar as they are accustomed to in our other markets around the globe." – TradeArabia News Service
