AEG'S TICKET MASTER

Rick Johnson is bringing his expertise in ticketing to AEG Presents as SVP, ticketing & revenue. He’ll oversee the department under the company’s Global Touring division.

Based in Los Angeles, Johnson will report to President of Global Touring and Talent Gary Gersh.

“Rick brings a wealth of institutional knowledge to the team,” Gersh said. “He has the experience of building pricing and revenue products from the ground up and seeing them all the way through to implementation.”

Johnson, who frequently advised ticketing outlet AXS, a subsidiary of AEG, got his start in live music in 2010 when he joined Ticketmaster as director of strategy. He co-founded Ticketmaster’s dynamic-pricing business unit Pricemaster.
