Garry Van Egmond

Over the past 45 years, Garry has been a leader in touring, production of theatrical events, event merchandising, marketing and promotion. His reputation for attracting high yielding events to the Australasian market place is second to none with productions in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan & Japan.

Through Garry’s long and highly regarded presence in the industry he has gathered an impressive list of contacts with performers, major managers and contractors throughout the entertainment, performing arts and sporting industries.

These along with the other promotions are a testament to his company’s ability to meticulously plan and execute all aspects of successful promotion from marketing through to logistics.

In a career of “sold out” business, highlights include Dire Straits “Brothers In Arms” tour, which saw 250,000 seats, sold in Sydney alone and ticket sales of approximately 1 in 15 to the entire Australian population (this achievement is listed in the Guinness Book of Records), the tour of Bette Midler, which sold out 72 performances and in 2010 AC/DC’s Black Ice Tour which became the fastest selling concert in Australian history selling over 520,000 tickets in under three hours (the concert went on to sell over 750,000 tickets in Australia & New Zealand).
