The companies office website and a notice placed in several newspapers says Fortress Information Systems Limited, which trades as Ticket Rocket, was placed into receivership yesterday. It was also reported the Hurricanes Super Rugby franchise had laid a complaint with police over concerns that Ticket Rocket broke rules under the two parties’ agreement. NZME reported Ticket Rocket provided ticketing services for the Hurricanes, among other sport organisations, and the Wellington franchise was seeking to recover $200,000. Ticket Rocket was run by former Dunedin businessman Matthew Davey, who also owns a stake in the Highlanders Super Rugby franchise.
