HMV appoint new ticketing exec

HMV has made another appointment in its ticketing division, which was launched at the start of the year when the retailer entered the live music market through its joint venture with MAMA Group. Jon Lee, formerly of Ticketline, and before that formerly of, well, HMV, will become a Client Account Executive for hmvtickets. He'll report to Jason Thomas, another former Ticketline exec, who is managing the retailer's ticketing operation. As previously reported, hmvtickets sells tickets both for venues within the Mean Fiddler Group (it's aforementioned JV with MAMA), and for other promoters and venues too.
