Executive summary

Bryan Perez is chief executive officer of AXS, the ticketing company owned by AEG. He has held the role since October 2014, according to both AXS's own July 2026 announcement of his inclusion on Sports Business Journal's Power Players list and SBJ's own profile of him. [2](https://solutions.axs.com/us/2026/07/27/axs-ceo-bryan-perez-named-to-sbj-2026-power-players-list/) [1](https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/07/27/power-players-ticketing-axs/)

Under Perez, AXS has expanded internationally, including new venue partnerships in Australia in 2026 and its SISTIC subsidiary's appointment as official ticketing partner for Formula 1's Singapore Grand Prix. AXS is also serving as joint ticketing provider, alongside Eventim, for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Before AXS, Perez was president of digital, ticketing and media at AEG from 2011 to 2014, giving him continuity inside the same parent company across both the pre-AXS ticketing function and the platform's launch and growth.

Why Bryan Perez matters in live music

AXS is one of a small number of primary ticketing platforms operating at global scale, and its role as joint LA28 Olympic ticketing provider places Perez at the centre of one of the largest single ticketing programmes scheduled for the late 2020s.

As AEG's ticketing arm, AXS represents the vertically integrated alternative to Live Nation's Ticketmaster within the two dominant promoter-and-venue conglomerates, making Perez's decisions a direct comparison point for research on primary-ticketing concentration.
