Showbiz Events and Travel arrives in New Zealand!


Showbiz International, Australia’s leading premium ticketing and packages provider, has announced the launch of Showbiz Events & Travel in New Zealand, offering a unique one-stop local shop for hospitality, events and travel.

Showbiz Events & Travel’s expansion into New Zealand will provide local expertise and contacts for the widest range of corporate hospitality, premium ticketing and event travel packages locally and internationally.

Showbiz is renowned for its ability to secure official packages, partner and corporate hospitality status for the best major productions and major concert entertainment, and for its commitment to servicing the travel industry.

Showbiz Events and Travel New Zealand will build on Showbiz’s existing business and exclusive partnerships, including blockbuster theatre in Australia such as Mary Poppins, Jersey Boys and Wicked.

International events available will include Wimbledon, Australian Open, Premier League, Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the British Open to name a few.

Heading up the business will be leading New Zealand travel expert Andree Sabourin as sales and operations manager. Sabourin was previously managing director of Keith Prowse NZ, where she worked for 14 years and nurtured extensive relationships in New Zealand and internationally in the travel and events markets.

She is joined by event executive Tracy Hale who was with Keith Prowse for eight years as an operations manager.

“There is nothing like having fantastic, experienced and well respected people on the ground when launching a new initiative and combined with our great product and partnerships, we are confident that no one can match Showbiz Events & Travel’s ability to service the New Zealand wholesale and retail travel industry and entertainment hospitality clients. We are very pleased to welcome Andree and Tracey to the Showbiz group, and know they will continue to build on the service reputations they are renowned for as experienced travel and event professionals,” said Showbiz’s group CEO Craig McMaster.
