See Tickets is the trading name of See Group Limited a British ticketing services company jointly owned by the Dutch multi-national live entertainment group Stage Entertainment and Parcom Capital. See was previously the ticketing division of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group and the largest UK owned ticketing company.
Created from the merger of the ticketing division of Really Useful Theatres and the Nottingham based festivals and events agency Way Ahead Group which Really Useful had purchased in 2002,[1] See sells and distributes tickets for West End Theatre, music events, sport and festivals notably selling all 137,500 tickets for the 2007 Glastonbury Festival in 1 hour 45 minutes.[2]
On 16 October 2007 See was demerged from the Really Useful Group and transferred in to a new company, See Group Ltd under the sole ownership of Lloyd Webber. On 31 January 2008 See Group Ltd was purchased by Joop van den Ende's Stage Entertainment for an undisclosed sum. [3] On 22 September 2008, Stage sold a majority share in their pan-European ticketing division, of which See Tickets is a part, to Parcom Capital, a subsidiary of ING Group Capital.[4] The holding company, previously Stage Ticketing International, was renamed See Tickets International as part of the deal and as well as See Tickets in the UK includes Ticket Online in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Austria, sherpa.be in Belgium and TopTicketLine in the Netherlands, Spain and France.
