Samuel Biscoe

Samuel is a dedicated theatre professional with a 20-year background in both non-profit and commercial arts and theatre venues. He’s delighted to be speaking at Ticketing Australia for the first time! 

Prior to working as Marketing and Partnerships Manager at Secure My Booking, he was Head of Marketing and Communications for Mercury Theatre, a regional producing venue in his hometown of Colchester. Other roles have included Ticketing Operations Manager, Head of Audiences and Commercial and Sales Manager at venues around the UK. Same also installed and ran the box office for Monopoly Lifesized, a immersive board game experience, when it first opened in London.   

In 2021, Samuel was nominated for the International Ticketing Association award for Young Ticketing Professional of the Year. Sadly he’s now too old to be nominated for this again!  

Ticketing isn’t Samuel’s only career, he worked as a dancer and singer for Carnival Cruise Lines (and also was Wardrobe Master for several contracts!) for several years and enjoyed a life at sea before returning to venue life.  

In his spare time he also runs an LGBTQ+ inclusive rugby team, Colchester Kings RFC competing across the UK and in tournaments across the world. Bingham Cup Brisbane 2026 here we come!
