About Sean Sweeney

Sean has been working in the Entertainment and Ticketing sector since 1994 and his experience covers Sales & Marketing, Operations, E-Commerce, Tech Development and Production. After periods at both Ticketmaster and The First Call Group, in 2000 Sean was one of the founders of Encore Tickets. Encore grew to become the UK’s largest independent ticket wholesaler, selling over 15% of all West End Theatre tickets by the time Sean sold his interest in December 2009. At Encore, Sean oversaw the operations, affiliate and programming side of the business, as well as supplier relationships. The company grew from a staff of 3 to over 150 in the nine years he was there. Since leaving Encore, Sean has combined being a Managing Partner at The Charing Cross Theatre (a 265-seat theatre with a late-night bar in London’s West End) with a busy consultancy practice. He still works within the ticketing sector, where clients have included Whatsonstage.com, London Theatre Direct, Ryanair, Encore Tickets, The Rolling Stones Exhibition, Body Worlds, Made Tourism Marketing, The Mandela Exhibition, London Theatre Bookings and most recently, The Art of Banksy (which he Co-Produced). Most recently, Sean has founded Ticketpipe, offering bespoke ticketing solutions for tour operators, coach companies and the wider travel industry with his old Encore colleague John Wales.
