The Senior Ticketing Officer (BOH) is responsible for the system configuration, data integrity, financial reconciliation, and technical support of the ticketing platform.

Data Integrity & Reconciliation

  • Perform daily and post‑event reconciliation between ticket sales, payment gateway reports, and bank settlements.

  • Investigate and resolve system discrepancies (e.g., double bookings, inventory mismatches, refund errors).

  • Generate settlement statements for hirers and finance teams, ensuring contractual commission and fee structures are correctly applied.

System Maintenance & Testing

  • Coordinate with IT and vendors on system upgrades, patches, and bug fixes.

  • Lead user acceptance testing (UAT) for new features or event configurations.

Process & Documentation

Reporting & Analytics

  • Generate operational and sales reports for management, including inventory utilisation, sales velocity, and settlement status.

  • Provide data extracts for marketing, finance, and curatorial teams as needed.

  • Perform any other duties from time to time as reasonably assigned by the Authority.

You should

  • possess a Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Business Analytics, Finance, or related field;

  • have 4+ years of experience in ticketing system operations, system administration, or back‑of‑house box office roles;

  • have technical proficiency with ticketing platforms is mandatory;

About West Kowloon Cultural District Authority

Stretching across 40 hectares of reclaimed land, WestK is one of the largest cultural projects in the world, blending art, education and open space.

Its vision is to create a vibrant cultural quarter for Hong Kong where the local arts scene can interact, develop and collaborate. Providing 23 hectares of public open space with two kilometres of vibrant harbour-front promenade it will also include a variety of arts and cultural facilities that will produce and host world-class exhibitions, performances and arts and cultural events.

A Development Plan for the District, based on well-received Foster + Partner’s Conceptual Plan, was approved by the Chief Executive-in-Council in January 2013. Overlooking the magnificent Victoria Harbour, the District will begin to take shape over the next decade.

By developing this sizable project in phases we can start to bring the district to life. The Xiqu Centre, Freespace, Art Park, M+, Hong Kong Palace Museum and Lyric Theatre Complex, will be developed as a first batch of facilities aiming for opening to the public.

Although the whole project will take time to complete, we are already busy organising a wide range of cultural activities on site. Visit our website for details of upcoming events. Meanwhile, we welcome you to enjoy the beautiful views of Victoria Harbour by riding a bike or walking along the promenade.
